Bremen

Today we woke up in Oslo, Norway. A few days ago we had booked a flight from Oslo to Hamburg, in order to avoid train delays between the Hamburg Copenhagen trip and also the enormous amount of time it would take to get back to Germany (a train ride from Oslo to Hamburg could take up to 17h the least). Since the plane ticket wasn’t that expensive either, we thought that would be a good idea for us to do.
So we woke up, walked to the train station and got on an early train to the airport so we could eat breakfast there and wait for our flight. We got quite early but that didn’t bother us since we thought we would check our luggage in and be able to walk around after passing security. But the desk wasn’t open till just 2h before the flight. We had coffees and a snack to eat and waited to check in. After security, we walked around the duty free and bought Norwegian salmon and pittes for our snack when we get back to Hamburg (we thought it was a must since we hadn’t eaten any salmon these past days and you can’t go to a Scandinavian country without trying!).
Our flight was on time, we had three seats to ourselves and it was very pleasant. Getting to Hamburg we felt the heat straight away (it was lovely and cold and rainy all these days!!). So we both took our jackets off as soon as we landed 😂.
Our luggage was a bit late which bothered us since we wanted to board a train to Bremen as soon as possible and get to the hostel we had booked for the night. We eventually took the train, and the ride was 1h 30m. Getting to the hostel was fine, we checked in, left our luggage, eat our salmon snack and went on a walk into Bremen town. The town was lovely, with pretty buildings and also statues and drawings of a tale by the Grimm brothers that takes place there. It’s called the “Town musicians of Bremen” and it’s the story of four aging domestic animals, who after a lifetime of hard work are neglected and mistreated by their former masters. Eventually, they decide to run away and become town musicians in the city of Bremen.
After walking around a bit we got hungry so went into a supermarket ReWe to find something to eat. They had hot food and a salad bar, so we helped ourselves to an artichoke/spinach/cheese/cream kind of soup (which smelled and tasted fantastic - I know, not a good idea for such a hot day but I couldn’t resist it) and Lampros opted for salad and chicken schnitzel. Went back to the hostel, eat our dinner, had showers and fell asleep cause we have a super early morning tomorrow!✌🏼Read more
