Well, that didn't go as planned

I hit my first travel setback on Day #3. I had planned to tour the Rosenborg Castle in Copenhagen and then take a train out. Well, after I purchased my ticket, I put my bag in a locker . . . and then promptly could not find my ticket. Lord knows where it went, all I know is that I didn't have it. The worker at the ticket counter was most unhelpful, declining to replace my ticket. Rather than buy another ticket, I left. (After using their free to guests bathroom first.) It didn't hurt me all that much monetarily, as I used my Baylor ID card to get a student discount and found an extra 20 kroner that someone left in the locket deposit, but frustrating nonetheless.

That was pretty much the highlight of the day. The train ride and ferry to the little island of ærø was pretty uneventful.

On a sidenote, please feel free to comment or send emails! It's a little lonely being by myself in a foreign country, so anything yall leave are much appreciated.

Edited to say: Apparently Legoland is on the far side of Denmark away from everything else and is really expensive to visit and to stay at. So I've audibled out of Legoland and instead booked a cruise from Copenhagen to Oslo.

  1. Aw, I bet it is lonely by yourself! I actually had a dream last night that I was traveling Europe by myself and I know I was super lonely in the dream. Weird, I know. And no, I don't want to analyze what it means. I'm just going to use it as motivation to write you more in an effort to suppress your loneliness!

    By the way, our firm is playing the Mega Millions lotto tonight ($325m prize). So start praying that we win... because if we do, I'm hopping on a plane to come join you for the rest of the trip!

  2. Ha, so if the firm wins, everyone will quit and the firm folds? I'm wondering if they thought this through!

  3. My firm does a lotto pool, too!. It would tank the firm if we won because I'd lead the charge as we all bounce. Don't get lonely, Jeffy. I posted a comment on your last post. I was the first person to post since you left, so I feel somewhat superior and awesome. I just thought that you should know. Be safe!
