DAY 85 – ROUEN 13/03/2009
Our last day in Rouen was another typical Marion day, with a half-formed plan of meeting her friends for brunch. Nobody organised anything so we had a late lunch at 2pm instead, but it was very good. We had what was essentially toasted sandwiches from a small café, but they were good, with goats cheese and gourmet ham, etc. the time passed quickly and Marion made us rush to get to the train as she had somewhere to be (and was almost certainly late). In Paris, we bought our last French baguette (straight from the oven, still warm!) and settled down for our overnight bus to Copenhagen.
DAY 86 – ROSKILDE 14/03/2009
Our bus ride was relatively uneventful, and sleep was predictably difficult to find. We did go on a ferry to get from Germany to Denmark, and got held up by an idiot who tried to enter the country without the necessary visa, but generally this was probably the best Eurolines experience so far. We met Morten in Roskilde, a town about half an hour west of Copenhagen where he's living at the moment, and spent the afternoon catching up with him. His best friend Niels and Niels' girlfriend Caroline came for dinner, and we had some slightly-too-crispy pork with potatoes and a really good white sauce, played cards and drank long into the night.
DAY 87 – ROSKILDE AND HERRESTRUP 15/03/2009
When I woke up this morning I felt terrible. At first I thought I was simply hungover, but it quickly appeared that there was something very unsettled about my stomach. I was no better when Morten's parents came to pick us up, and embarrassingly I had to have the car stopped so I could recompose myself. It was a pity because his parents were very good, taking us through the countryside near his house and generally showing us the sites. I forced some food down, which temporarily lifted my spirits, and we spent the afternoon chatting. Dinner was another Danish feast, with pork and crackling, gravy, potatoes that had been fried in sugar (YUM!) followed by home-made creamed rice. I'm really glad my appetite came back because I would have been really disappointed to miss this. To finish the night off we chatted until late, and drank some crazy vodka with 'bison grass' in it, which was actually really good. Tomorrow we are being taken to Copenhagen to see the sights, so hopefully I'll feel better then.
