Stockholm to Copenhagen, travel day

Today we left Stockholm, and started making our way to Copenhagen. We have a Eurail pass, which is nice, but I forget that some trains require a reservation, or in some cases it's really smart to make one. We hopped onto the train to take us to Copenhagen, only to find we kept having to change seats as people got on the train. Finally, when the ticket taker came by, we learned that all the seats were sold on that train. This left us with three options; float fro empty seat to empty seat in the hopes that someone wouldn't make it, hang out in the bistro car, or hop off at the next station and get reserved seats. We opted for the last one, and got off at Norrköping. Turns out it's a popular travel day -- the next train with available seats was in 3 hours. No matter, it gave us an opportunity to explore a new town. We popped our bags into a locker, and walked the main street, checking out varied shops, stopping for coffee, and relaxing in their quaint park near the train station. Finally, at 4:30, our train arrived and we were under way to Copenhagen. Or, at least, Malmö; once we got there we would have to change trains as that particular run ended there. The X2000 train from Stockholm to Malmö is quite nice, with comfy seats, readily available power, and wifi. It's also a high speed train, which I love riding. The train to Copenhagen is a local, and certainly nice, though not the same (I miss my wifi). We arrived in town around quarter to 9, just as the sun was starting to go down. A late dinner at Wagamama, and it's off to bed! A handful of pics here.
