Summary

The web content describes a journey from Oslo to Copenhagen, detailing travel experiences, accommodations, local food, and the train ride.

Abstract

The narrative recounts the experiences of Keeley and Kiryn as they embark on the second leg of their train journey from Oslo to Copenhagen. They enjoy the convenience of Oslo's trams and appreciate the comfort of their budget hotel, despite its quirks. A local friend, Ben, guides them through Oslo, culminating in a hearty dinner of traditional Norwegian cuisine. The following day, they take an 8-hour train to Copenhagen with a stop in Gothenburg, Sweden, for a train change and a shared Subway sandwich. The comfort of the train seats is notably superior to those they've experienced in Queensland.

Oslo has trams — one of which collected Keeley and Kiryn as it was turning the corner. Luckily, both fell backwards onto their backpacks.

We have a lovely large room and our own bathroom in our budget hotel. Who cares if you have to shower over the toilet?

Ben, a local and Stacey’s friend, took us on a walking tour of Oslo in the afternoon. We stopped for dinner at a restaurant serving traditional Norwegian Thursday night fare: bacon dumplings, salted lamb, boiled potatoes, mushy peas, and sausage — all very filling winter food.

At 1 pm the following day, we boarded the train to Copenhagen, an 8-hour journey, stopping only at Gothenburg, Sweden, to change trains and buy a Subway foot-long to share. We were starving!

The train seats were extremely comfortable, nothing like Queensland trains.
