Homeward Bound

We´re in Copenhagen, we actually made it! I think I´m actually more shocked than you guys. Our train got in all of an hour and a half before our interrail ticket ran out - and it went over a Ferry!!! It was possibly one of the most exciting moments.. of my life. we had no idea until the people that were sitting next to us told us that at some point we would be going on a ferry on the train, otherwise we would have just thought they were saying "get off the train" for uh... legal reasons??!?!?! so yeah that was pretty awesome. i went to the loo on the train, and thought id missed it. turns out it was quite a long crossing. 45 minutes in fact! I thought it was quite exciting too, but to be honest more because it had a duty free, which meant we bought enough to drink for our 4 nights in Copenhagen which turns out to be a very good thing when you see the prices here. We just spent £3 on lunch - for which we got 3 coissants, from a supermarket, and like £1.50 for a bottle of Oringina, and this wasn´t in a Posh Cafe, just a corner supermarket!
we went into a second hand clothes shop and scotts eyes nearly dropped out of his head when he saw a rugby top for €16. They were 190DKK, so like £12 I think, its shocking. I could buy a new rugby to for less than that, they weren´t even like famous strips, just your average public school rugby to that some kid somewhere grew out of and his mum gave to a charity shop!
our experiences of copenhagen so far have been, mixed. our hostel has like 30 beds in one room and this was after we fell out with the first one and left, and found our new hostel at about 12.30am! they also have communal showers and a hefty charge for the internet. but hey... as scott says this mornings going to be the last morning we wake up there without a hangover! at this point he says i should mention that the point of this was because the showers were cold. which is good when you have a hangover (?!). So the Hostel may not be ideal, but it is better than the one we booked into, which despite accepting our booking, about a month ago, and confirming about 2 days ago, didn´t have our booking. In fact the room we booked didn´t even exist! when we arrived we got told they had no mixed dorms (ie you can´t stay in the same room) something of an issue given that by this point our cloths, money, and washbag are totally mixed up between the two bags, so it makes it rather an impracticallity to stay in different rooms, that aren´t even that near each other. given that boys and girls weren´t allowed in each others dorms atall we would have to meet in the hall each time we wanted to wash, clean our teeth or get dressed. so yeah, our experiences of copenhagen have been mixed, further reinforced by the fact that the last hostel we stayed in, in berlin has become the yardstick against which all hostels shall be measured. i actually want to move into it and live there forever. its also raining. very heavily. so we're sheltering in a library where there is free internet. and newspapers in english! and sofas! so thats pretty cool. and we're going to a flea market tomorrow (im a little put off by the name flea in the title) so all is good. we also have 3 litres of wine and half a litre of jagermeister!
remind us to talk about the "weinerei cafe" when we get home.. it was really awesome in berlin but have to go pretty soon so not enough time.

Anyway, while the internet is free you are also allowed only 20 minutes, we´ve been on half an hour (since no-one was waiting) but now someone is, so we must say our goodbye´s;

Bye.
tah - rah.
