Hirtshals, Denmark


After over 29 hours of full-on traveling, we were relieved to finally pull in to the charming town of Hirtshals, Denmark. The town is right on the coast of the North Sea, and offers a great view of the ocean.


On Wednesday, we hopped aboard a quick, 3 hour train from Budapest to Vienna, Austria - where we would soon catch our night train connecting Vienna to Hamburg, Germany. While we both argue that night trains are the best way to travel if you have to make long distances, and both have had good experiences all three times we have done it, we will also admit that it was definitely not the best night of sleep we have had.

But after a good cup of coffee, we were up and running again yesterday morning as we finished the last 10 hours of our train travel and had a lovely evening to relax in beautiful Denmark!

Very special thanks to our friends at DanHostel Hirtshals for arranging our beautiful accommodations! The hostel lies right on the coast, and literally has the best hostel breakfast we have ever had. We were especially thankful to the friendly staff, the fantastic common spaces, and the fun conversations were able to share with fellow travelers at dinner. We recommend it to those visiting Denmark!

More later, but for now we have to run to catch our ferry to Kristiansand, Norway! We are now officially on our way home, and we look forward to reflecting on our entire trip during the 3 hour boat trip. What an adventure!
