Goddag from København...

7pm Tuesday night I boarded a train in Utrecht which went to a town called Duisberg, which is in Western Germany, where I hung out for nearly 3 hours in a Burger King waiting for my night train to Copenhagen. They are having some sort of promotion for an "Angry Whopper", which I found highly amusing considering where I was.

I booked a 2nd class sleeper for the night train, which turned out to be a bed in a room of 6 bunks (top middle and bottom on each side), with barely enough room for one person to stand up between them. I guess it was good to avoid accommodation costs for the evening, but still...

So here I am in Copenhagen. The hostel I'm in is pretty terrible for the price they're charging (most expensive hostel in the guide book at 165DKK a night - the rooms aren't clean, the self-catering kitchen is this tiny room in the basement that looks like it hasn't been cleaned in years (the fridge certainly hasn't been emptied in a month), and you must eat your food in that room rather than out in the bar with the people who paid for hostel meals - thus the dubbing of the Kitchen of Shame.

Internet time is about to run out, more later.
