Stig took me down to the dock and saw me off. I bought my ticket and cashed my Swedish money into Danish. Then I boarded the ferry ahead of the cars. I leaned the bike up against the side of the wall and went up to the second deck. I watched Stig take of picture as the mighty boat pushed off. I walked up to the forward part of the top deck. Helsingor and Denmark seemed only a few miles away, yet there everything would be different.
A breeze coming off the sea sent a chill up my spine. But another chill came over me as I realized I was leaving, not only a different country, but a score of new acquired lifelong friends.
Arrived in Helsingor at 10 am and left for Copenhagen. The drive was beautiful along the coast. Ate lunch, just before Copenhagen in a small seashore parak. Went to the American Express office. Arrived at the Vanderheim at 2:30 pm. Boys from Lebanon and Italy here. Five boys from Tokyo also.
