Yeah so this morning I was woken up by the guy sleeping above me. I thought it would have been a girl seeming as there was, what I thought, a make up bag on the bed. Turns out no. Not the case. Very awkward. But then the guy who took my pillow apologized to the guy above him. The guy above him is the pillow I took once mine was gone and I saw the guy with two pillows. Can you imagine how people will ask how my trip to Hamburg was? I'll has to say it was good, I had a Hamburger but I got my pillow stolen which wasn't the best experience. Like I give a shit. Survival of the fittest, and I got a pillow :)
I was woke up to a txt from Stef and so glad I did. She's so slow at replying and then I realised so is my entire family because I keep updating them where I am and I get no replies. Because my phone sends it to the wrong number so they never get sent! Eh. So I was once again the last one in the room and it had a shower and toilet in there amongst 8 people. So once everyone left I just took my time seeming as check out was 10 and I got up at 9 and my train didn't leave until 10.45. Good times. Had a shower, cut my toe nails (woah honestly my feet are horrible, I need to see a pediatrist when I get home straight away, but my calf muscles are amazingly strong), then left for the station.
I got my ticket and went onboard and found a seat, thinking it was free. Nope. Goddamn reservations being so confusing to me. So I sat down, turned my laptop on to watch a movie and plugged it into the power, only to be asked by a guy that I'm in his seat and I have to move. Ah the Germans. What makes me wonder is how did they get such good train services?! I'll continue on a second.
Yesterday on the tour we were asked to stand in a straight line along the pavement. No one really did and I joked that we're in Germany so I don't trust any Germans who tell me to stand in a straight line. Everyone laughed but I didn't talk anymore on the tour once I realised there were bogan Aussies on it. So I just stood around song silent farts. Remember I got up in the morning and went straight to the station and once I arrived I just checked in and went right for the tour (just in time). I bombed the hell out of the toilet later on though. Yeah so maybe Germans are good at trains because of their history of transporting people by trains. Not on the same class as this, but hey pretty similar service I guess. Just different destinations and such. I'm not being rude but did train services improve because of WWII? I know that trains were improved in India when the English arrived. So not sure if it's a good or bad thing.
I actually fell asleep on the train. I may or may not have fallen asleep on the girl next to me. Yeah girl, not lady or anything. She must have been about 17. How awkward. Not like I'll ever see her again, and if I did sleep on her shoulder, then she'll have a creepy story to tell.
Once I arrived in Köln (Cologne) I went to the hostel. It's so amazing. Double bed and it had a curtain and is completely closed off from the other seven. It's very hipster but I love it. There are Victorian chairs in the bathrooms and a homely feel. The area I'm in is hipster and I didn't know it but I'm loving it. This is such a student town that it's finally great to be around a lot more younger people. There's free coffee as well and that was what I did after bombing the toilet. I got advice in what to see so I set off to the old town and fell in love. There's the Cathedral and it's so beautiful. Probably the second most beautiful I've seen, after Berlin. The detail was impressive and they're still fixing it up from the war. Next to it is another lovers lock bridge. It seems like almost every city in Europe has one of these. I actually had a currywurst as well, which was pretty good for €2.50. Actually when I think about it, I've only eaten for €5.50 today. The whole day. Shit I might have to eat more or drink something. Or desert. It's 8pm and I'm so tired now. But as much as this city is beautiful and amazing, it's a one day or two day city at most. I'll do something in the morning then head off to Frankfurt in the afternoon as it's only one hour away.
Wherever tonight takes me, I don't know. But I'll be happy to have a coffee first.
