I also got a fantastic welcome from Bridgestone Denmark.
“A present from Bridgestone Denmark, to celebrate your
birthday and your having cycled this far.”
This was Tony speaking to me. He is head of business
operations on the Copenhagen island of Zealand. He handed
me a gorgeous bunch of flowers and the first one thousand
Krone note I had seen. “Perhaps you could enjoy a delicious
meal with your girlfriend?” They arranged a meeting with a
journalist from a motoring magazine. The interview lasted for
about an hour. “Tusind tak (Thank you very much), Tony!” (from "Against the Wind" - Poolbeg Press)
