So, its been a few days...we have had a difficult time finding an internet cafe...and finding the time for it. Stockholm was beautiful...and by beautiful, i mean the people. Everyone there is tall, blonde, tan, well dressed, and thin...and they all ride bikes. We finally went to an ice bar there! It was -5 degrees C, and everything was made of ice. They gave us parkas to wear and a drink in an ice cup...i ate my ice cup. It was delish. We stayed on a boat! The Hostel af Chapman, which was really cool. There was this really weird German guy in our cabin...he was really nice and we were talking to him for awhile, then Aud and I left for about 5 minutes, came back, and he was in his underwear. AWKWARD. ...and he smelled bad.
Oslo was sooo beautiful! But soooo expensive! Our hostel was a little bit outside of the city, so we were able to go on hiking trails and the view was amazing. There was a strange Asian man at our hostel and I think he was really lonely and he talked to us for...ever... He kept saying "Cheerio!" and we didnt really know how to respond to that so we said, "Thanks?". The next day we hit up a few museums and wandered onto a beach...a nude beach. Mainly old men, walking around with no clothes...not exactly a 20 year old girls dream vacation... Luckily, there was a normal beach right nextdoor so we went there and sunbathed for awhile. To sum things up, I got really burnt. :( But then I saw a sign that said "Lastenfart" and that cheered me up.
We are currently in Copenhagen, Denmark, and our train leaves in about 40 minutes to go to Berlin. Copenhagen is awesome. Its not too expensive, the people are really friendly, the city is nice, and overall it feels more like a real city than Oslo or Stockholm. We found probably the only classy buffet in the world on our first night, which automatically made Copenhagen a hit for us. Also, its currently the Copenhagen Jazz Festival, so we have heard some good music and seen a few good street performers. Audrey and I found fabulous sugar bowls at the Royal Copenhagen store. They are hand painted porcelain and they match our tea pots from Russia. Fab...u...lous. Yesterday Audrey and I toured the Carlsberg Brewery! Sooo cool. DID YOU KNOW that the company that brews Carlsberg also brews Touborg AND owns half of the Baltica brewing company (anyone who has been to Russia knows how big of a deal Baltica is). Then, we wandered over to Christiania, a huge free society in Copenhagen. It was founded by hippies...obviously. You could smell the marijuana as soon as you entered. There were murals everywhere and random sculptures. It was really cool. Lots of people out everywhere, playing music, hanging out, smoking illegal substances, and the like. It was very interesting.
So, later today we will be in Berlin and tomorrow we are going to try to do a short 1/4 day trip to Frankfurt to see my dad, who will be there for only about a day. There are trains that run every hour so it shouldnt be an issue. Im excited to get rid of a lot of my stuff! ...and to see my dad :D
