So here we are in Kalmar!!
We left Herne, Germany last night at 11:45! Shanny and Timmy dropped us off at the train station and we were sooo sad to see them leave! They also both got one of our bags and carried them everywhere for us haha. Tim and Shan stayed with us until our train got there (which was a little late) and we got to see them again as our train pulled away : ( aaawwwww sad!
The train was a good experience i guess you could say. We got on the train when the guy proceeded to speak german to me so i responded with "umm...i speak english" haha i could have done that a little better especially since time taught me how to say cant speak german IN german. but regardless he told us what cart number we were then disappeared (literally disappeared cause ju thought we were locked out of our cart and when we went to find him he was no where to be found) so yup - ju thought we were locked out of our sleeping cart (we got one of those on the overnight train) and however after i searched for the phantom man i realized all u had to do was slide the door open.
almost wish it was not that easy because i swear our little sleeping cart smelled like a couple boys just got off the ice, hadnt showered yet and were laying in a small enclosed area....OR even better we just got dropped of into a small room with a closed door and a hockey bag full of used equipment hahaha. so it had 6 beds...we got the bottom two and then there were two randoms on the top two (no one in the middle). they chatted for TOO long in another language. so sometimes we spoke english so they could not listen to our conversation. i then locked the door when random man and woman decided to leave....but i had no idea how i locked it so it took me like 5 min to open again hahahaha oooopps! then they came back and went to sleep.
julie did not sleep at all and i slept a little. i had the passports, visa and eurail tickets in the ugly little pouch type thing mom gave me that you store under your close so no one can steal it. and that is really not the most comfortable thing to sleep with. only good thing was that we re locked our door and left it a crack open....so cleaner air could get in. well we got no sleep cause random man (in a really bright reddish pink shirt) was snoring! soooooo bad. i felt like he was choking himself sometimes. acutally i dont know how he was sleepnig cause it sounded like he could not breathe. well i have better practice w the snoring (thanks mom :) ) haha sorry but ju is not good at sleeping through it at all. finally we got to copenhagen at 10 am where the ticket guy came into give us our tickets back and he tried waking "45 and 46" up for like 5 min haha - thats their seat numbers.... we were "41 and 42." i was laughing through the whole thing. so we got off and got to copenhagen. which was dumb - they have a horrible language. so ju and i walked once around the train station, felt we saw enough and then hopped on our train to Kalmar, Sweden! which is where we are now! safe in our friend Linus' appartment. ju is now napping and i am just pumped to have internet! so i guess we will be talking to u soon!!!
