Quick update

I sit in the Copenhagen train station sitting on a budweiser.

Scandinavia is a convergence of different currencies so my wallet is a mess. But at least I have it. I can't say the same about my camera which I stupidly left on the bus from an unkown spot inbetween Tromsø and Narvik Norway.

It's a shame too because the pictures from up there were amazing! Unbelievable! By far the most beautiful place I've ever been. I spent two nights at a couchsurfers house in Honningsvåg on the most northerly island. I met a Lithuanian guy who I hiked to the most northerly point of continental europe with. Then we both left at the same time, and, since busses are scarce up there, we hitchiked. My goal was to make it to Narvik (where the train tracks start, some 900km away) I didn't know it was so far at the time.

We waited next to an abandoned school and took some plastic chairs from it to sit next to the side of the road. We finally got picked up in broad daylight at 2am by 3 young french guys on vacation. They took us to Alta and where we had to walk across town and then wait 6 or 7 hours for a ride. We finally got one.....and it was worth it!

A norwegian. He was going to Tromsø and took us through a bunch of spectacular fjords on our 400km route while playing tour guide. I got about an hour of sleep on that ride after spending nearly 30 hours awake.

Then we waited for 2 minutes when a woman drove by with her son and jack russel terrier and picked us up. She was about 35-40 had a nice sound system in her old mercedes, and was blasting metallica. So, Tomas and I called her 'metal momma'. She took us not very far and then we waited for a few more hours in the mosquitos till 2 polish guys picked us up and dropped us at a truck stop. There was a bus schedule on the door of one restaurant, so I waited till the morning and took a bus to my destination. I was so tired I left my camera in the bus.
