This trip was very last minute and since we had finals up to the day before we left, none of us had any time to plan anything- so we met at the train station, luckily one of the girls had our tickets printed and we started our trip. So I hadn't thought much about how this train was going to get us all the way to Copenhagen, but I found out soon enough! The train actually drove onto a boat! We got on the boat and then all had to leave the train and walk up to the top of the boat where there were shops and restaurants and hang out there for about 45 minutes! After the trains and the boat, we found our hotel which ended up being a hostel (false advertising!). When I opened the door to our room the first thing that came out of my mouth was "we are back at camp!" The only thing worse would have been bunk beds! We put our stuff down and got out of there as fast as possible! I will never stay in a hotel that doesn't have private bathrooms again! We literally took the cleaning supplies from the maids closet and cleaned the showers every morning before we got in- NOT FUN!
Copenhagen is beautiful! Very very expensive, but beautiful!
The only part I really didn't like was the hippie haven called Christiania. It was scary- we were four little girls walking through groups of men that hadn't showered in weeks- after walking through a little and trying to go to the "museum" that was just a hippies room, I was ready to get out of there! We did NOT blend in at all! And since inside this area the rules and laws don't really apply, I was not comfortable being there!
My favorite part was Nyhavn- right on the water. We ate dinner down there one night and it was beautiful! We took a boat tour through the city which was also a lot of fun!
We also went into an ice bar! It was so cold that we only stayed for about 45 minutes, but they make you put on these huge coats and gloves and your drink cups are just ice- we had a blast!
Overall the trip was amazing! Great company and a great city!
