I started today with a fantastic hangover. Luckily a mixture of coffee and lots of water made it pass fairly quickly and I was ready for the day! Roxanne's rad friend, Ugo, is visiting from France and staying at the hostel for a week so I met him in the morning as I was recovering. Patrick is a history major and he really wanted to check out the museums so him, Dylan, Ugo and I walked past the massive TV tower in Alexanderplatz to the museum island and entered th...

So... I woke up at 6 am on a bean bag chair in the lounge area. Not the best start to my stay in Berlin! I got up and went to my bed, slept for a couple more hours and then went back upstairs for breakfast. Roxanne and Patrick said that they tried to wake me but I just fell back asleep each time.

It's time for a new adventure! I said goodbye to my new Norwegian friends and got on the morning train bound for Berlin.

When I got to the laundry mat, of course I couldn't read any of the signs so I had to ask some people passing by to translate. But now I can say I did laundry for the first time in Copenhagen! When I wa...

To start off the day, I went to a nearby grocery store and bought a liter of yogurt and a bottle of juice and ate breakfast in the hostel. Then I walked to the closest metro station station and bought a one-day pass. I rode the metro to the main part of the city and then the S-train to København C, the train station I arrived from Göteborg at. So today was already off to a better start since I had no trouble with transportation! The city map I picked up from th...
