Very comfy, 24/7 service station with some sofas (though I think if I sit on any of them I'll pass straight out and sleep on through to the Thursday cutoff!) taking in shifts to try and hitch a ride for what is hopefully the last leg of the journey!

We have left our van driver and all his fish produce (it was a fish van, I potentially smell like a fish now but I wouldn't know I've gone nose blind) and we are currently at a service station 30 minutes out of Kolding. We had dreams of Copenhagen tonight (our drivers colleague was meant to be driving there tonight!) but they've been crushes (he's now leaving tomorrow), but nevertheless, we shall persist!!
