So remember when I told you that I got to go to the spiral tower one day but I couldn't climb up since I got there 15 minutes before it closed? Well, today Ian, Ryan, and I actually got to climb up this time. There were so many stairs. At one point while I was climbing up it felt like I was in the Notre Dame since there were so many bells. After we reached the top, I was utterly impressed by the view. Also, despite the fact that I am usually not afraid of heights, I could not stop holding onto the railing since it was so high up and windy. I got some amazing pictures of the city though, which should be on facebook as soon as possible. In addition, Ryan got over his fear of heights long enough to be able to reach the top as well. After a bit, we climbed back down, which was scary at times since the stairs were rather steep. We left the tower, then went to a bakery for a snack, then I got some more food for the long trip ahead. We then went back to the apartment and packed.
So we took the 5 pm bus from Copenhagen. I expected it to go by slowly, like all other bus rides go. However, early in the bus ride Ian, Ryan, and I met "Kasper," who is doing his Masters in Copenhagen and who did undergrad at Georgia Tech. Additionally, there was a 2-hour ferry ride for part of the trip (we got back on the bus afterwards). So the four of us spent the whole ferry ride talking about Denmark and other stuff. (By the way, the ferry was the largest ferry I've been on in my life, so it was pretty awesome.) After the ferry ride, we spent 3 more hours on the bus (I slept for part of it) before reaching Berlin. Ian, Ryan, and I exchanged information and goodbyes with Kasper and we took a taxi to the hotel. By that time it was almost 2 am, and I was so tired that I didn't have time to go on the Internet before crashing. (And this is why this post is really late, sorry!)
