The hostel in Bergen, Norway last night wasn’t much better from the previous night. This one had 36 beds in one room, which is a record for me. In addition, bright fluorescent lights were shining directly overhead must of the night. Finally at 3AM someone figured out how to turn them off. This place had …

Day 61 – Norway
Maybe I didn’t sleep the best, since I was up by 5:30AM. I tried to use their computers to get some work done but you can’t use the internet connection before 8:00AM for some reason. Anyway, I waited around for breakfast at 7AM and ate quite a bit. In Norway they have bread and toppings …
Day 60 – Sweden / Norway
I left my host, Ola, and his couch and then ate lunch at a cheap Thai buffet just down the street that I noticed the previous day. Good enough for the only meal of the day. With not much time to spare, I took a quick look around town and made it to the train …
Day 59 – Denmark / Sweden
I walked around Copenhagen for a few hours. Saw a strange commune called Christiania. Then I walked past the royal houses and an amusement park right in the downtown of the city. Next, I caught a train to Gothenburg, Sweden. This train crossed a new combination tunnel/island/bridge which spans the international border crossing over the …
Day 58 – Denmark
Today I spent the first half of the day in Hamburg, Germany. I was able to walk through some of the parks, down by the docks, and downtown. Then I got on a train which headed north toward Denmark. At one point, the entire train moved onto a ferry for an hour to cross a …
Day 57 – Netherlands to Germany
Today was mostly a travel day. I took a series of three trains from Amsterdam, Netherlands to Hamburg, Germany. I was able to find a couch for the first time in a while to use. Mario is hosting me in Hamburg for one night.
Day 56 – Amsterdam
I spent the day walking around many of the city’s unique sights and also some resting. After this, I’m not sure if I’ll be spending the night in the same place two days in a row for a while at least. The last few days I’ve been surviving on one meal per day: the breakfast …
Day 55 – Amsterdam
After my only night in Luxembourg, I woke up early and caught an early train towards the city of Amsterdam, Netherlands. I did make a quick stop in Cologne, Germany on the way though. In total, I spent about 6 hours on the train today. Amsterdam is nice, everyone can speak English well and they …
Day 54 – Germany / Luxembourg
I started my day early in Frankfurt, Germany. After a breakfast buffet, I checked out and headed to the train station eventually making it to Bingen (small town along the Rhine River). Then I boarded a ship which cruised down the river to the city of Koblenz. This part of the river is famous for …
Day 53 – Germany
Today a lot of trains, from a fancy high speed (I saw 256kpm) to a hot, crowded local train. I made it from Munich to Frankfurt (also stopped in Bonn since I had time).
