Wednesday 22nd August

This morning I was woken up several times. My alarms on my phone, sorry to the others in the room who dealt with it but I'll never see you again ever so I don't really care. Then the rain at 8.29, a minute before my initial alarm so I snoozed. Then by someone poking their head into the door saying come down for breakfast. So I did but I though wtf because I know you need to pay extra for it. I asked how does it work and he said you pay and order the day before but you can have tea or coffee. So I had tea and thought duck this I'm just going to find a bakery and hopefully have a Danish in Denmark so I can say I'm having a Danish. But I saw breakfast prices, as in three different prices! For the same damn thing. Maybe slightly it's dodgy, I don't know.

I went onto the free walking tour and discovered that where I was using free public wifi last night thinking it was in front of the Royal Danish family's residency, well I was wrong. It was in front of the old residency, over 100 years ago. So had I been there prior 1884, I would have been using the free public wifi, I think. However we went around the city and then ended up having stew, a tradition amongst the locals and originating from the sailors. Because the meat they would get would become old and rotten, they'd cover up the flavor with pepper corns, so it was filled with it and also had beetroot on top! It came with a beer and was $12. So pretty good I guess. But there were a few older American couples in the group. We didn't have to have stew but it was an option for us. They were so bitter and said no. Because it was cash only the old American guy didn't want to buy anything. He was questioning whether they'd take euros but he remembered he needed them for a taxi, so she asked the guy serving if he'd take dollars. Are you fucking serious? No like legit. That's the dumbest shit I've heard. Later on another American smashed his open palm onto a guys car as he was driving. Why? Well the car had a green light and so he gave the "friendly-double-honk-of-the-horn". The American took it as an invite to be a douchebag. Actually this morning when I was crossing the road a truck nearly ran me down when I had right of way and he didn't. I just kept walking and he honked his horn at me several times. HONEYBADGER DON'T CARE!

At the end of the tour I asked a girl of she'd be able to split a 100Kc but she couldn't. So we sat there and waited for the tour guide to leave before we left. Her name was Marie and Shea from Austria, so we hung around for a few hours doing things the tour didn't. We saw the little mermaid, a few churches and gardens which we couldn't see on the tour. But it was great to meet someone. At the guest house no one talks. It's so weird and empty. Maybe everyone is in their rod but no one is in the common area. Tonight I've just resorted to watching how I met your mother on my laptop. Also there are, oddly enough, free condoms I found in the bathroom here. So I've been taking handfuls of them at a time. This is how I save the $$$. Not that I need to use them...(that's directed at my family).

So after spending a whole day from 10.30-7.30 walking Copenhagen I came back to my room to eat a Danish. Yes. I had a Danish in Denmark. Yummy. Next up is Hamburg in the morning, I might get the early train in. Then I have Cologne and Frankfurt. Can you imagine what I'm going to do in those three places?! Just wait and see.
