Baltzar Hotel Malmö

... see - a church, a vicarage, a well-to-do farm house, a poor widow's hous (her husband was a drinker and ran off to America), and a blacksmith's house. There was sod on the roofs of several buildings. There were a burgher's house from Malmo, a rich professor's house, a church functionary's house-also a house where a man in trouble with the king hid. We had a nice bus ride back to Malmo and said good-bye to acquaintances who had gone on several tours with us. T

The fun begins! Planning a 20 day self-drive safari into Southern Africa for two people who don't necessarily like the outdoors! We will be a two person circus on 4x4 wheels. So far all we have are plane tickets and it's everything else in between that we need to map out...yikes! <br><br>Thoughts of booking that pre-packaged safari in a bus of 20 other Swedes is now starting to appeal to me again...

Every year the city of Malmo hosts a big festival that weaves around the different streets of the city center filled with food stands, musicians, and goods for sale. It is much like the Orange County Fair in California, where there are rides and random other things. The coolest thing I saw was a Filipino stand. And of course they sold ...

... to just see the indoor zoo and aquarium, with lots of fish, reptiles, sugar gliders and a few lower primates. We get into the museum exhibits and they're pretty interesting - relics dug up from all different eras. The castle part is awesome and completely random; amongst the opulence of the King's Bedchamber and the medieval weapons in the cannon tower are things like a star chamber, a hall of oddities (complete with stuffed alligators, deformed foetuses and ...

... I don't have any pictures since it was just myself and Caspi the guide, but I'm sure none of the initial ones would have come out too flattering since I spent just as much time drinking the salt water as I spent surfing above it. As we were about to finish up my lesson, a storm came in and it started to downpour, so I didn't get to actually use the board too much, but I got a few runs in before we called it a day. I'm certainly not a pro, but after ...

... and took photos of each other with her in the background while people were changing positions. Ehehehe..well Copenhagen was a nice city, but quite expenive and we had to change money so we didnt acually know exactly what or how much we were spending. Its quite the strategy, I wonder if Andy has more thoughts on Copenhagen? Well Becky, despite the fact that we didnt get to see my friend Anelise (all my fault dakedo), I think Ill just second you on the really really ...

... I was sure his occupation was hanging around the station and looking for who could buy him a beer. And in Denmark, the beer isn't necessarily the cheapest item in the monthly budget even to the Danes, so I was in no hurry to spend my money on it, either. However, it very soon turned out the man was not only no homeless, but no Dane, either. He was a retired German seafarer who, according to his own words, lived in Germany, on the Fehmarn island in the Baltic sea and often ...

... during summer they tend to start early which did not really agree with my headach which never seamed to disappear the whole stay in copenhagan. the next day we explored a bit of the town and had lunch on the cannal banks which was great. some drunk 'doods' came out of this big bus wearing viking costumes drinking beer and play fighting in the streets which was very comical to watch. in copenhagan it is ok to drink in the streets so lots of people had ...

... as most people have never heard of Regina. Reky was trying to figure out where in Canada I lived, so he was asking how far it was in relation to other places. I said it was probably a 30-hour drive from Vancouver, and 40 hours from Toronto, two places I thought people might have heard of. At this Reky burst out laughing and said, "at 40 hours driving most people would just say how long the flight is!!!" Mind you, once I got home I found out it's really only a 30 ...

... And they even have more comfy seats. We watched The Island, Wedding Crashers, Fantastic Four &amp; the Skeleton Key. The latter was kinda disappointing, but then again, people have different tastes. Shopping? hell yes! I bought 2 pairs of jeans, 2 pairs of shoes, 2 jerseys, 1 denim skirt and a bunch of souvenir T-shirts (including Hard Rock café MN). I even managed to make good bargains with the hourglass, hair-curler, Tetris ...
