Turns out the toddler wasn’t the main problem, it was the parents that woke up us. They apparently weren’t aware that\u00a0 everyone could hear them and then they started winding up the toddler – yay! Especially after a normal night on a train. Changes in a modern train journey through Europe – you no longer know you’ve entered a new country by having to get up and show your passport at 3am. Instead you hear a series of chirps as everyone’s phone receives a text saying they’ve changed networks! I only got up once though – while we were stopped at Hamburg. So I got to see a little of Hamburg as the sky was getting light – have no idea what time that was!<\/p>\n

So up early got breakfast and a wash, then watched Denmark passing. Nifty long bridge and tunnel, and lots of farms until we finally arrived at Copenhagen, tired and wanting a shower. Check in at the hotel was 3pm, but we had decided we could at least leave our bags, then go get lunch while waiting to get our room. So we headed out of the station, got our bearings and started to walk to the hotel. Remember yesterday we walked all over Eindhoven? Yeah, our feet remembered. It was a straight forward walk but we were tired with sore feet before we’d even started! Still we got to the area where the hotel is and saw this:<\/p>\n

So we’re in Copenhagen!<\/div>\n
Got to the hotel, got to reception and heard the best thing all day – our room was ready and we could go right up! Hooray! So up to the room and shower and then get dressed and out to find lunch. After a brief walk we just picked an interesting looking place and had a huge meal which was good. Then headed out to look at tacky tourist shops and walk along the harbour wall, before crashing out in the room for a few hours. Getting ready now to find a snack before just giving up and going to bed – if the football fans let us sleep tonight. There’s a very large screen and bar area near the hotel!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
