april 10, on the train to oslo after the horsens, denmark show

day 3 of the tour began 3 hours after day 2 ended. i’ve been catching up on the blogging on the trains.
a word about the trains – we have a 3 week eurail pass for the band + allen, which gets us seats in first class (if they’re available). sometimes we’ve got reservations (more $), but usually not, so it can be a mad scramble for a seat before the train’s off, and we’ve got all kinds of gear with us so boarding and disembarking can be a nightmare.
as it was this morning, when we got on in horsens and stood in the area between cars waiting for some seats to open up. oh, and did i mention the smoke? filling the train. there’re “non-smoking” cars, which are not quite as bad, but it’s all one train, same air... anyway, mad sprint at a stop where they added a car got us some seats about halfway to copenhagen. ah, seat. and so the blogging begins...
...it’s now 830p on the final leg of the train to oslo. passed through hilly sweden, now we’re in norway, where it’s getting dark and it looks cold. band passed out in the middle of a not-too-heated game of scrabble. theoretically meeting another friend of allen’s at the train station, will stay at her house tonight and after the tomorrow’s show.
