Instead of train to Odense and a replacement bus to hamburg, I'll be doing some breathtaking train-bus-surfing and will arrive in Hamburg a bit before 01, if everything goes well. "Well". Well, anyway, I got to know the Hyllie station pretty thoroughly, and there's a stylish water tower beside it.
Well, it was good idea to leave Malmö a tad early, since there are delays with Öresundståg, the latest being "people running around in the railway area, no idea when they'll stop".
