Scandinavia Trip: Day Nine

I got to talking with the girl sitting next to me on the train to Malmo. I was telling her about my website and she pulled out her personal computer and for the next hour-and-a-half showed me photographs from her current four-month trek by way of India. What an astounding trip. She said her funds went so far there. Traveling in Scandinavia makes an American really feel like an Indian traveling in Europe.

Anyways, she phoned up her buddy in Malmo to ask him what I should really do when I got there, and he stated, “Go to Lund.” So I hopped off the train early and stayed in Lund. This university town, about ten minutes by train outdoors of Malmo, is a terrific spot to wander about the old, medieval streets. Also, I’ve said it when, I’ve stated it a million instances, Lunders like bicycles.

My hostel was truly an old, parked train.

If only I stayed in the boat hostel positioned in Stockholm, I could’ve said that I had spent the night in a plane, train and a boat.

Of course the only terrible issue about college towns in the summer season is that they tend not to be as active at night. I watched the Germany v. Turkey match on a massive, outside screen in a single of the town´s squares but then I got sleepy halfway via and had to leave. I’m ready to start out enjoying the nightlife again when I get to Copenhagen. I got up early and spent the morning in Malmo. I consider I created the correct selection to stay in Lund. Malmo was fantastic to see, but seeing it throughout the morning was superior sufficient for me. I visited an international food bazaar in one of the old downtown streets.

I got to Copenhagen with no problems, checked into the hostel, and after smelling myself and the contents of my bag, I decided to trek it over to the globe-renowned Laundromat Cafe in the hip district of Nørrebro to do my laundry and grab a drink. The Laundromat Cafe is in all probability one of the coolest laundromat/cafe/bars/lending libraries in the world.

The owner told me to quit drinking the Diet regime Coke in front of me and he popped open a bottle of Anton’s Æblemost, an organic Danish apple soda. Nørrebro reminds me of dwelling, Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I assume I’m gonna like this town.
