I have been thinking that maybe starting a reasonably priced bed & breakfast with clean rooms (inc. bathrooms) and friendly staff would be a hit in Denmark. I believe there is a need for those...
Another good idea I had: start a business as a ferry operator, apparently there is a need for those as well in the country with ... I don't know how many - but many islands and not that many ferry crossings at all.
I know it was my cock-up. I was thinking of being clever and saving some time and driving. So I took a route from Odense to Nakskov including a ferry ride from Spodsbjerg to Nakskov. The whole journey would have been 95 km or 60 miles alltogether. I got into the ferry terminal at 2pm and a big sign told me that the next sailing is at 2:15pm which was fine to me, BUT when I reached the ticketing point and gave my credit card and said that I would like to have a single journey, the young man asked if I had a reservation?
A reservation, what sort of a reservation? Isn't this the ferry that goes between Spodsbjerg and Nakskov? Yes, but everything is fully booked till 5pm, the young man said. Well, I thanked him and turned my Avis Peugeot 207 pointing back to where it came from. That meant that I should have taken the route via Store Baelt which would have been 260km or 160 miles and would have taken about 3.5 hours to drive to Nakskov. No way to make it to the customer before the evening... and my EasyJet flight was on the same evening as well.
That made me wonder why on earth they have not increased the number of ferry crossings during the summer time, when especially as so many tourists from Sweden, Germany, Holland and other countries rush to the white sandy beaches of Danish coasts?
Definitely there are business opportunities in Denmark, it is just so sad that the language is so strange...
