So yeah, we're here and the first thing we find out is that they dont deal in euro's, so that stuffed us straight up, bloody danish krona, or krøna, yet another keyboard with fancy letters!" lol. the idea of staying at the pub in hamburg wasnt such a bad idea, but it was a freezing one, got kicked out of pub just after 2 due to closing time, so went to burger king, which sortof had heating, and it was a chilly 2degrees outside, then train turned up! yay and it was warm, and we pretty much passed out straight away, so tired as we hadnt slept all day! next thing i know the one hour trip to our transfer stationm is done, and we have half an hour to wait in an outside station with njo heating, oh my god i have never in my life been so cold. jordie through on his ski pants, i put on another junmper and my scarf and just kept walking in sircles to try and not die! lol. it wasnt pretty, then we get on the train and we cant find any seats and get told we cant sit in the bistro area as it is shut... so we get told to go right down the back of the train, we're we eventually found some seats, and they were uncomfortable and could only pass out sleep from exhaustion but kept waking up due to pain in back from bad seats, then, teehee, we hit the danish border and got woken up by police to show our passports, ben thinking straight grabs my train ticket, then jordie says ben, passport, ah, idiot ben had no idea what was going on, so handed the guy the right passport, one with an eu sticker, lol, and he cheerily went on his way, and i think in a couple of rooms further up he caught someone cos he was tellnig her to get off the train and then i passed out again, only to be woken up by the ticket lady! who kindly said it was -9 degrees, yes thats minus 9 degrees outside, i think i cried! lol, and so dawn was upon us and we watched the snow covered fields and roads and trees and everything a mix of white and whatever colour the white was covering, for mile after mile, and we got here at about 10am this morning, we then got our euro changed to krøna due to having no choice, only to have to change the danish krona to swedish krona tomorrow when we go to sweden, it think we're both going to sweden.. anyhow i'm on the net to try and find some accomodation for tonight so we dont freeze our arses off again, but i think we have it sorted, theres a coupkle of places just across from the central station where we are which is good, so all should be well! now i just want to sleep, but theres rollercoaster place called tivoli gardens to check out yet! so another busy day! hooray!
gonna run off now!
hope your all well!
