Wed 10th - we left the hostel in the early morning in Stockholm and got the subway to the railway station. Here we waited for our train to Copenhagen. The journey was comfortable although we were going backwards the whole way. When we arrived in Copenhagen, we got Mcdonalds as we were quite hungry and it cost almost $30SING - very expensive! The hostel was a little further out so we got a train there. The hostel was a youth hostel (Danhostel) and pretty quiet as it was out in the middle of nowhere but literally everything had to be paid for - bedding, cutlery etc etc. We walked to the supermarker (Netto) and looked around a nearby shopping centre.
Thu 11th - We walked into the city (about 45min walk) and grabbed a coffee at a cafe near the station (it was nice but very expensive). We booked a free walking tour around Copenhagen at 11am. The tour was pretty good and covered some interesting areas. We stopped halfway and the group split to get food etc (we got a pizza from a bakery called Holm's bakery). We finished the tour near the palace. After the tour finished we watched the changing of the guards (the guards all very young and looked slightly sloppy). It started to rain but we walked over to see the 'little mermaid' from Hans Kristenan Anderson and then walked around the Christmas market. Had soup and bread for tea back at the hostel.
Fri 12th - First proper rainy day on the trip, quite miserable in Copenhagen. We walked to Chritiansen (a hippy part of the city) and went to an indoor street food market. It was nothing that special and again very expensive. For lunch we went to 7eleven which was surprisingly nice (and cheapish) and then decided to go to the Copenhagen museum. It was free which was a bonus and actually quite interesting. We walked home and had soup and bread again for tea.
Sat 13th - leaving today so packed stuff. We needed to check out by 10am and were going to parkrun so had to be quick when we finished. parkrun was at the park next to the hostel - Amager Faellel. It wasn't the most pretty of places and with no flags it was difficult to find initially. It was 2 loops and we found it quite difficult (cold) but overall enjoyed. After rushing back to the hostel (no shower) we took our bags to the station and waited for most of the day for the train to Hamburg. The train was again comfortable and as we went over to Germany the train boarded a boat (The Deutschland) for about 45mins. We got some chips to eat! We arrived about 8.30pm in Hamburg and walked over to the AO Hostel. It was a huge hostel but actually really nice and the room was pretty big. We walked to the station to get some food and went to the food court in the station. Troy got a german sausage and I got a bowl of vegetarian food.
