Copenhagen, Denmark, is not the best place for Mia and I. Well, the city is actually lovely and we had a great time there, but when you get into the city about 4 ½ hours before you were meant to and the only form of accommodation for poor student travelers is closed, it causes us to form some hostility towards the place. Mia and I got into Copenhagen at 1:33am instead of 6am like we were meant to. This was a problem, since after getting little to no sleep, we were kicked out of the train station with nowhere to go. After lugging our suitcases through the snow, we found our savior….KFC.
We ended up staying in KFC until it closed, which was at 5am. We managed to make a ton of friends, and of course, we just HAD to eat some chicken. J
(please excuse the extremely creepy face.)
After being kicked out of the KFC, we went back into the train station and tried to be cheeky and take naps. After getting yelled at by the same security guard, my lovely Mia came up with the most brilliant idea! Since we had Eurail and Interail passes, we could ride the train back to Malmo, Stockholm (about a 30 minute ride) and then back to Copenhagen. So that is just what we did. We got some sleep in a warm room, just what we needed!
When we got back to Copenhagen, we were very refreshed! And we were welcomed with sun! The only goal for the morning was to find the Mermaid of Copenhagen. Along our quest, we ran into some great views of the city!
Then…..WE FOUND HER!
After lunch in the center of the city, we made our way to Tivoli, an amusement park near the train station, to kill a couple of hours before getting on our train.
All in all, Copenhagen is a beautiful city, with wonderful people (minus the people that work in the train station, I’m hoping they were ALL collectively having a bad day, or that is where they force all the grumpy old people to work.)
Next stop, Berlin for New Years with our amazing friend Chris Tack!
