~

We began our day at the laundromat cafe once again, tore at throats a little, and i ended up in a nearby cemetary for part of the day while anthony rested at the hostel. We gathered our senses, and continued onto the center of town.

Norrebro

The sun rose, shuffling of packs in our 9 person room awoke me from a slumber, and we began our day. Near our hostel, locals every saturday laid out their old belongings and trinkets for sale, we found some items for cheap, and continued on to a lovely breakfast at the Laundromat Cafe just up the street. Walked around town, here and there, exploration is key--

Copenhagen

We arrived at our quaint, sheeply decorated hostel in the Norrebro district, not far from the city center late that night. A long and tiresome trainride, most of which was spent sitting on the floor amidst pounds of luggage and other bodies on account the train was completely full and we had no reservations---
Went to bed early, drunken swedish men spewing chunks along the hallway, welcome !

Pedal

Rented quaint red bikes early the next morning, and traveled Far to the end of our map to a street where, apparently, a shop stood *where you could buy a kilo's worth of clothing for around 20 euros. 1 kilo = about 2.2 lbs. Thats a lot of clothing. Unforuntately, we could not find the shop, and later found out we were on the wrong street entirely. But all was not lost, i had a nice veg sushi lunch and mmm, miso soup. Anthony munched on a hot dog of course_i should really keep a tally of the consumption this trip- i could guestimate around 40. ~~~ We biked back up the map, rested, and prepared for another great night out with the familiar faces we met during day one.

the next morning we would rise, onto copenhagen

Sights to be Seen

Went out early, had a delicious breakfast down the street. Had a bright day bouncing around the town,
began with the Berlin wall, some parts still standing. A memorial of an old demolished church which stood between the wall, and plans for construction of a greater memorial lay in our path. We headed towards book burning square where we sat in the shade and i had a smoke. Onto checkpoint charlie, and the holocause memorial park-- where we spent the majority of our day sitting under the sun, relaxation,,

headed back to the hostel on their smelly underground metro-
easy night in the beer garden with a lad from washington

Berlin

We traveled on a train for most of the day-- The most beautiful train ride yet. I have never seen clouds such as the ones through Germany. (took pictures on film, can post when we return home)--
We arrived at our hostel in a hip part of town, bikes cluttered the streets with stylish and young people upon them. We explored the neighborhood and met some people for a night at the nearby beer garden. Kids running around, tables full of laughter and alcohol. As the night drew on, anthony went back to the hostel, and i continued to a bar with plush seats, expensive drinks and a pink hue.
Later that night, crawled back to the hostel where i spent a good 25 minutes outside our door knocking to be let in-great first night
