wonders of european transportation-- for josh.

we woke up delighted to be done with expensive, spread out, cold, not yummy copenhagen. this is not the first danish ryan ate in denmark, but it's the only one we photographed. we didn't take my picture. 

we got onto the train, which was just as easy as when we'd gone to roskilde, and settled in for another 11 hour travel day. 

danish forests. 



we got a free drink and snack with our ticket. i got these thinking ryan would eat them, but we doesn't like peanut m&m's. i like the fact that they are the BIG pack, when really, they seem like a regular pack. 



look at the shore line. it's frozen. 




OKAY! this is the part that we didn't photograph on the way in because it was dark and you couldn't seen much.  but this was really cool. when we go to the southern tip of denmark, the train rolls onto a ferry, and then you have to get off the train, but you stay on the ferry, as it sails across to germany. then you get back on your same train, and it rolls off the ferry. 



we are beginning to pull onto the boat. 


and here we are. we had to get off the train, and go up to the top of the ferry, but it was worth it, because there are better pictures that way. 


the frozen ocean. 

ryan's on a ferry! he took a train onto a ferry!

see where the ice breaker boat went through??

likewise ryan. 
these were our seats on the train. the tables fold down so you can set your stuff down, but still get in and out. ingenious. 

ryan's 2nd favorite beer: carlsberg. the only good things in copenhagen, he says, are the beer and the hotdogs. but they're not good enough to come here. trust me. 

humble. (it says "probably the best beer in the world"). we got into centraal station, and had no internet until we checked into the apartment where i am currently writing this. from now on, the blogs will be shorter, and more focused around a particular subject, instead of day to day life. mostly. anything you'd really like to know??
