Sleep In Heaven Copenhagen

My first trip out of Sweden since I have been here was to Copenhagen, Denmark. It was my friend Sonja's birthday and that is where she chose to go. There was a group of eight of us. We got into Copenhagen smoothly by train around 5:00pm. Our hostel was on the outskirts of the city and we wanted to save money so we walked to try and find it. Next time I can assure you we won't be doing that in a city none of us have been to..... We went out on Friday night to try and find the area where there ...

I woke up the next day and met Jon. A Canadian guy from Montreal. He had been traveling for about 3 weeks and was on his way home in the next day or so. He seemed really cool when we frist met and then we hit the street to do some sight seeing. I personally have never met someone so negaitve in all my life. Everything that came out of his mouth was ****. Everything was too expensive, the hostel was ****, the food sucked. I was so ready to punch him out but I didn't. I tried every tecnique in ...

I was tired and didn't have the energy to even get out of bed when I was awoken by 5 spanish girls, blow drying their hair, putting on makeup and primping for the day to come. Great, I thought to myself, stuck in the dorm for the next 4 nights full of 18 year old girls waiting to impress the Blonde haired, Calvin Klein Models, that the Danish call their male population. I gathered my things and headed for the shower, got changed and hit the road. First stop was the train station to book my ti...

Jetzt der zweite Teil mit ein paar Bildern von Dänemark´s Hauptstadt. Kopenhagen hat mir besser gefallen als Stockholm muss ich sagen, auch wenn ich noch nie so wechselhaftes Wetter erlebt habe. Es ist auf alle Fälle eine Reise wert. Natürlich habe ich die kleine Meerjungfrau besucht, wobei klein es wirklich trifft. Zwischen all den Touristenscharen war sie fast gar nicht auszumachen, wie sie da so auf ihrem Stein sitzt. Auch hier gab es das volle Touristenprogramm, mit drei(!) Schlössern und...

Getting to Copenhagen proved to be more eventful than I imagined. From the title of this entry, you can guess that the airline (Air Canada) lost my luggage. How about that? First day on the road and I am left with only the clothes on my back :) I'm sure I'll get it tomorrow so I am not going to worry about it too much. If I don't hear from the airline by tomorrow evening, maybe I'll start worrying. Perhaps I should have considered buying that Lost Baggage insurance my travel agent was telling...

Backpacking in rich countries is very similar to being homeless. I only have pennies to work with due to the largely inflated prices. I have to find a way to make the pennies stretch as far as possible and somehow eat enough to be comfortable. I have begun to buy bread just to fill up, because I can't afford enough good food to survive. Today I bought one of the best sandwiches I've ever tasted in Copenhagen for 10 dollars, but it was enormous so I couldn't finish it. Its seems that the conce...

Tim and I and tow girls from the hostel explored the city and went to some of the 'touristy' places. we went up the Rub detaarn Tower which offered a good panoramic view of the city and then headed down to an Island which had area called Christiana, this was a strange hippy kind of self governed place which as you entered you were apparently leaving the EU. It had a very strange and eerie vibe about it and some amazing graffiti every where. We then went Ice skating (or at least Tim and the gi...

Numa data especial passei meu primeiro dia em Copenhagen: 11 de setembro, cinco anos passados desde o atentado `as torres gemeas e eu, feliz na ocasiao, em greve na universidade, acampava na ilha grande com meus amigos. Como esse tempo passa... E passa mesmo, ja' estou a ¾ da viagem... Cheguei ao aeroporto de Copenhagen e nao pediram nem meu passaporte. Mole mole. Embarquei num onibus de dois andares do aeroporto a cidade, onde me instalei num albergue previamente reservado chamado 'Sleep in ...

The very quick flight from London to Copenhagen lasted a little over one hour. I kept on falling asleep. I was SO EXHAUSTED! From the plane, even though it was past 10p.m., there was still some sunlight! I would discover a few hours later that the sun would rise over Copenhagen before 3a.m. Anyhow, I got on bus 540S to get to the Sleep-In Heaven hostel. I was worried that I would miss my stop but the friendly bus driver reminded me when to get off, in Danish of course. Once off the station, I...

First days in Scandinavia !
