Copenhagen it is!
19 juli 2013 - Kopenhagen, Denemarken
After waking up in the middle nowhere, the second time now in a couple of days, we folded up the tent and started hitchhiking without even having a proper breakfast. We needed to get away from this shitty town as soon as possible. Not long after we started, a van pulled over. A maintenance guy, who works in the wind energy business. He could take us out of town and north in the direction of Sweden. After a short drive he couldn't take us any further and we got out of the car. We needed to find a new car. For a little while we seeked for a good location to put the sign up in the air, but it was a difficult location. Finally we found a good spot, and immediately we got picked up by a woman. She was going to drive us close to Copenhagen.
After a short break (we didn't eat breakfast yet, remember), she took us further and further in the direction of Copenhagen. We talked about her life and she explained that she was a little bit crazy, but that she stopped using her medicine in the beginning of the year. She seemed very normal to be honest!
The whole morning we spent talking with her, but after a while she couldn't go any further and once again we needed to get out. We were almost in Copenhagen, a brilliant hitchhike day! We just needed to find one more car and we were asking everybody at the gasstation where the woman dropped us.
Some French guys stopped to tank and to eat, they had a big campervan and I forced Helene to go to them, cause she (frenchspeaker) might persuade them to take us to Copenhagen. Soon, we were in their campervan, going to the citycentre! These guys were making a eurotrip, and explained us that they were robbed in Amsterdam! I explained them Dutch people are usually very nice to foreigners :)
Once in the citycentre we started looking for a place to sleep during the night. The day before I tried to find a couchsurfadres in Copenhagen, but it seemed harder than expected. Sleeping outside in the city didn't appear safe to us, so we decided to take a hostel for one night. The hostel looked very nice, and was rewarded as being the best hostel in Europe. On the other hand, the hostel was...expensive. In total they would charge us 70 euro one night. After desperate attempts to get a couchsurf adres in Copenhagen, finally someone with a non-dutch phone number called me. It was Rikke from Copenhagen, she could host us for the night! We were both very glad we didn't had to pay for a hostel!
We had multiple phone contact, and it took us a while to find her. Once we where at her place we just wanted to rest and watch a movie, luckely she agreed with that. We hopped into the sleepingcouch quite early, and we slept like babies that night.
