Berlin: Day 5 (and Copenhagen)

I had to wake up soooo early this morning - 4:45!!! My bus left at 7:30, and it takes awhile to get to the bus station from the hostel. Nick was kind enough to get up that early and meet me at the hostel so he could escort me to the bus station and make sure I got on my bus OK. I got to ride a cool double-decker bus! And, while I slept on the bus, I had dreams about riding in a double-decker. It was weird. Anyway, after multiple hours on a bus then a ferry then a bus again, I made it to Copenhagen. I wanted to stay a few days, see a hockey game across the strait in Malmo, and then go back to Aarhus. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a hostel in Copenhagen. Most of the places I had found online were closed for the season, and the other was full. I had hoped to wander around and stumble upon a hostel, but no such luck. Scandinavia is weird - there are very few hostels, even in the major (and capital) cities. So, when the sun set I finally gave up and bought a train ticket back to Aarhus. I was disappointed, but I couldn't afford one of the overpriced hotel rooms in the city, and I was getting pretty tired of wandering around the city with my heavy backpack. Oh well, even if there aren't other hockey games, there will be other trips to Copenhagen. I had a great time in Berlin, and now I'm back in Aarhus, relaxing in my cozy little apartment.
