Once again, I find myself travelling. This time, to Germany, for a fabulous christening and then a side trip to Copenhagen – cause when in Europe, you may as well see the next place on your bucket list!
It was a very short turn around between being asked to be a Godmother, and the actual christening (which, of course, I was not obligated to come to, but couldn’t see any good reason not to attend).
I had four nights with my lovely friend, her husband and her baby daughter, before taking the train via Hamburg to Copenhagen – they put the train on a ferry! It’s cool!
I’ve only just arrived in Copenhagen, and it’s already great. I arrived as the sun set, it was cool, but not too cold. The hostel is everything it promised – hip, stylish, but affordable. The rooms are great – the list of ‘things I could have brought’ for this place include: an s hook or a coat hanger for my coat, a padlock for the locker, thongs (my feet want to be free of shoes!).
The train trip started around 7am, and I arrived around 6.30pm, so a long day. I was well equipped by a delicious snack pack from my friend. And I bucket load of throat lozenges as I battle the start of a cold. The journey was quite enjoyable – I saw a lot of really pretty countryside and wind turbines. I passed most of the time listening to podcasts – some I’d pre-downloaded, but many I listening to using the wifi on the trains.
Have you been to Denmark? Any recommendations?
Very cool! We visited Denmark on our last big trip, and really loved it. Christiana was unlike any place we’ve visited. Great bike culture, cool museums, not as expensive as I thought it would be.
