train day

An eventful day with some good conclusion. 

About an hour after we'd got on the train we decided to go to sleep and found out that our light didn't turn off. After getting the courage we went and asked the Swedish family down the hall for help and they informed us that we would have to call the train personel to come and fix it. We pressed the call button and they fixed it. 

All was then good till 4:30am this morning. When the emergency alarm in our carriage went off. Nothing was actually wrong but the alarm had short circuited and we had to leave the carrage.... Into first class room!!! That was kinda cool. The room was the same size accept we had an ensuite and only 2 bigger beds where the other one had three smaller ones. 

The fact that our previous carrage was faulty and had to be removed delayed the train by almost 2 hours at that point however by the time we arrived in stockolm we were only 56 minutes late. Sadly we only had 30 minutes to get to our next train and missed our transfer to Copenhagen.

Now this is where I have to say the Swedish "SJ" trains service is amazing. We got off the train and were directed straight to their customer service office where they had new tickets waiting for everyone on the train for the next train to that destination. Hence we got 2 first class tickets to Copenhagen (leaving at 12:20) next to each other and 100 SEK each to spend on the bistro on the train. 

Once we got on the next train first class was huge. The seats swamped bini and I and we had more leg room then we possibly needed. An uneventful train trip apart from the nice veiw of Sweden and the bistro. At the bistro we discovered cider... Which we bought and then drank. We also bought a bag of cinnamon buns and a couple of chocolate to use almost all of our 200 SEK. The ciders were amazing as we've both been on the wagon for over a week now.

Once we got off the train the hostel was fairly easy to find as it is a huge tall building. The room is very nice. Thanks for reading
