It was only
an hour on the train to Brussels,
and I managed to negotiate the subway easily enough to my next hostel. Hello Hostel is a nice change from the

Bloody
i-touch! Somehow it managed to reset itself back to London

My train left at 10:30am and I realised this at 10am…and it was a 30min walk to

I was sad
to leave Berlin as I’d met a great bunch of
people, and I hadn’t really done much of the “tourist” stuff, but it was time

I arrived
in Berlin after a long train trip from Copenhagen, the most

My ticket directed me to the "family car" of the train to Bergen
where I was the only passenger. I was a bit worried that I'd caught the

I had to get up stupidly early to catch the 6 hour train to Oslo, where I walked the 15 minutes to Anker Hostel . Once again it is more of a “hotel” feel than a hostel, with a
