Today wasn't the most exciting day of my trip so far. I finished exploring Oslo this morning, and decided to start my journey south to Copenhagen. I started by walking through a near by neighborhood of my hostel. There were some old wooden houses in the traditional Norwegian style with beautiful views of the town below. There was also a lot of graffiti which I've noticed is more common in Oslo; especially compared to Stockholm. From there, I headed to the train station. I wasnt ready to leave Norway though. It's definitely a place I want to return to in the future, especially to explore more of the country side. It's such a beautiful country, even just the train rides were remarkable.
Prior to leaving for this trip, my plan was to spend a day in Hamburg, Germany on the way from Copenhagen to Berlin. This would have been a nice way to split up the trip and have a more relaxed day part way through my trip. However, I had heard there wasn't much there, and someone suggested Gothenburg, Sweden which I thought would be a good way to break up the eight hour train ride from Oslo to Copenhagen instead. However, while on the train to Gothenburg from Oslo, I was realizing more and more that I didn't have enough time in Copenhagen if I split the trip up into two days. Erik and I had plans to meet in Prague on Friday, so stopping would have only given me a day and a half in Copenhagen which is far too short! Thus, I cancelled my hostel reservation, and continued on my way! So now, I have arrived, found a hostel on the fly, and am in Copenhagen to explore for two days!
