The Start of Our Scandinavian Adventure
From Marseille to Odense
Departure
It was a bittersweet moment as we arrived at the airport. Tom’s mother had driven us there, and as we hugged and said our goodbyes, we felt the weight of all the previous goodbyes that had led up to this moment. But it was time to move forward and start our journey to Odense, Denmark.
We made our way through security, passports and boarding passes in hand. The excitement of the unknown mixed with the sadness of leaving behind the familiar. But as we settled into our seats on the plane, we couldn’t help but feel a sense of anticipation for what was to come.
MRS – Marseille Airport
AMS – Amsterdam Airport
The journey
The journey from Marseille to Amsterdam was smooth and uneventful. However, the real test was yet to come – surviving a night at Amsterdam Airport. After grabbing a quick bite from Burger King, we found a comfortable couch to settle down for the night… Until the staff kicked us because they needed it elsewhere or something.
We didn’t sleep much that night, trying to sleep in seats and benches designed to prevent us from doing so…
Train to Odense and Arrival
The sun was just starting to rise as we stepped off our final flight, eager to reach our destination. However, our excitement was short-lived as our luggage was delayed. With a sense of urgency, we rushed to the train station, hoping to make the next train to Odense.
Despite the setbacks, we were able to make it to the train in time and finally found ourselves on the last leg of our journey. The swaying of the train, combined with the peaceful scenery outside the window, was the perfect lullaby for us. We were finally able to relax and get some much-needed rest (after a nice Danish lady explained to us the seat reservation system, and that we had taken her place).
After what felt like an eternity, the train pulled into Odense station, and we stepped off, ready to take on the city. The journey had been long, but the arrival was worth it. We were finally here, in Odense, Denmark, ready to explore and make new memories.
