Final Leg — Copenhagen to Odense
I am finally in my hotel in Odense (pronounced something like “Oth-un-sa”). I think the most difficult part of the trip was the last 40 minutes, when I was walking around a European city looking for the Radisson without much clue where I was or where it was. Asked directions three times. Got friendly responses three times. Kept on walking around the city.
There is no A/C in this place. That’s fine. I’ve got a nice fan and the likelihood of a 60-degree evening. My internet access is in place, and the little adapter thingy is working fine (thanks, Carol!) so … all I need is a few hours rest, a few hours to create the slides for my presentation, a few hours to practice it, a few hours to catch up on other things I meant to do. Wait. I see a problem. … I’m BEAT! Dead dog tired. I was nodding off on my favorite part of the trip, the train ride from Copenhagen. My computer clock says 1p, but my body says I got about 90 minutes of sleep around midnight.
I hung out in Copenhagen for a few hours with Soren. Thanks to my pal and my pal’s family for opening their door, giving me some caffeine and putting me on the right train. I’d be in Sweden right now if it weren’t for Soren.
