I am back, back to reality! This is how it feels. I came back Monday evening, tired as hell and thinking about how much work is waiting for me. But the trip was great!! :D
Seven days, 24 hours living together with 3 guys, how do you do that?! To be honest, the group didn't really exist out of 3 guys and 1 girls. I quote the leader of the group (also called 'GPSacha'): "I am travelling with 2 girls and 1 woman." (just to be clear, the woman is me). And I can't counter that. It was pretty funny seeing the guys tired and complaining all the time. It was cold, it was exhausting, but it was definitly worth it! The first two days of our trip we spent in Copenhagen, together with an Italian girl. She booked -coïncidentally - the same bus to Copenhagen. She booked a ticket to go to Passenger and wanted to stay two days in the city. She could spend the two days together with us, exploring the city. Definitly better than doing it on your own. Wednesday evening we met our fourth group member in the train station to start our travel towards Sweden. First Malmö, then night train straight towards Stockholm. We stayed two days in Stockholm, which is way too less to discover that amazing city. Even one night sleeping outside doesn't make me change my mind about the city. In the morning we jumped on the train to Göteborg for a proper sleep of 5 hours in a warm train. That felt so good :D Göteborg was a bit disappointing, a lot due to the grey and dark weather and the shops closing at 4 pm (on a Saturday?! Can you believe that?!). We managed to find the best spots in Göteborg at the end of the trip and we even saw the sun. Then back towards Denmark, but first with a stop in Malmö. Unfortunatly, we didn't find a place to sleep there, so we decided to go back up. We took the train towards Kristianstad, a small little city on the Westcoast. Small end very cosy. We discovered the beauty of the town during the night and finally ended up sleeping in a corner of a passage in the park. Well, I and the Portuguese guy slept, GPSacha stayed awake and listened to our weird sleep noises (with which he can still tease me). Freezing and tired as we were we took the first train towards Malmö at 4 am. We didn't feel like waking up yet, so we decided to take another train back to the North to enjoy the warmth and the sleep. Finally, it was time to drive back to Denmark, Copenhagen and then Aarhus. I was happy to go back and looking forward to sleep in my bed again. But the moment I left the bus and came into my room, I knew I would miss it! And I missed it, I even missed the guys!
To summarize, the trip was amazing, so were my travel mates. There was no moment I felt uncomfortable or left out. I was an equal member of the group and they took care of me the times it got cold or we got tired (I even got a surprise at the end of the trip). I've never laughed so much on a trip, I've never did so many crazy and unorganised things, I've never felt so reborn after a trip! Thank you guys, for the amazing experience!
Now I am back in Aarhus, back in my room and back in my readings and papers. I am doing what I am supposed to do here again: having a good balance between studying and having fun. Ooh and of course, I need to be the housewoman: clean, cook, wash, iron... I am pretty happy about the past week.Thus, let's enjoy this adventure to fullest, cause time is moving too fast now!
I hope you are having as an amazing time as I am! Lots of love from Denmark
