Not really exploring Copenhagen :(
Well, it's not been the most exciting few days...
The very first morning, I managed to get out for a run, which was rally nice... It was only a few km through the suburbs, until I reached a lake, which I was able to run around...
And, during my lunch breaks, I've managed to walk in/around where I am. I even tried catching the bus into the city centre... Although, my bearings were completely messed up, so ended up travelling away from where I wanted to go. In completely the opposite direction 🤦♂️
For the remainder of the day, I've been working from the common area, which is the communal space in the place I'm staying. It's got such a nice feel about it and the staff are great. Coffee on tap during the day, and beer on tap in the evenings.
And I've spent ages chatting with and getting to know Jakub. A really nice lad, with some great ideas.
The 'challenges'...
I'm gonna summarise this with one word (Jose, I'm sure you'll relate)...
People
And, I know this is a backpackers hostel... So I'm not expecting privacy, or the Ritz... but, even so, there are sooo many really ignorant people 😬
Night #1, I'm awoken at roughly 0130 by someone thumping into the room. Lights on, and starting to unpack... by what can only be described as him throwing his kit around the room, and into his metal locker. Mix that with him going in and out of the tent like it was the middle of the day.
By around 0300, this had all stopped (thankfully). But the icing on the cake was him then watching his laptop (screen on full brightness, by all accounts). Wearing, what can only be described as shit headphones which leaked more sound than a chocolate tea pot would hot water. This went on till around, 0430-0500 😩
He only stayed one night. Shame, it would have been nice to get to know him 🫤
My next roomie, I'm gonna call him 'Mr Sniffy McMessy*'. * to be replaced by an appropriate expletive.
Like any good horror, I'm not even going to describe this scene... Please. Just let your imagination run wild... I'm fairly certain it'll be fairly accurate 😂
And then you get the 'Zero F**ks Given' crew... These are the ones that sit in the common area, watching their phone, volume up full blast (presumably so it drowns out the background music), watching something on their phone.
There's only a few, and if I were staying any longer, I'd be tempted to pop down to the local phone shop and buy them each a set of headphones.
Apart from that. Everyone's great 😆
Off to Hamburg
I've got a full day of work, then it's off to Hamburg for the next stop off. Again, I don't think I'm gonna get much of a chance to explore as I'm only there for a couple of days.
