Hotel Plaza Malmo Malmö

... sunscreen. We next looked in the cheese(ost) shop and an artisan (craft) store. We bought a salad &amp; sandwich at a coffee shop &amp; brought them back to the room for lunch. Headed to the castle museum after lunch--finally! <br>Kaye &amp; I walked to the Malmohus Castle about 1:00 P.M. It was built in 1434 to guard the strait and town and collect taxes from passing ships. The Danish kings made a lot of money from those ships!

... dates for that also proved to be difficult. Tweaking the dates a little, we found a good option. However, due to some rearrangement of our plans (so starting with the Kruger safari and ending with Botswana) meant that one of the additional flights will have to be purchased on our own so this adds about $500 to the trip budget.

Tuesday afternoon Rebecca and I boarded a train to Malmö, Sweden´s third biggest city, located ca. 200kms south of Karlskrona. Approaching Malmö we passed by the university city of Lund and it occurred to me what was missing from Karlsrona.. the answer..... a whole generation. There are practically no 19 to 25 year olds in Karlskrona. There is no univeristy and getting a job is a challenge so everybody moves away. Out of all my friends and people I know ...

... Tiff and did a canal tour. Brian's sister &amp; Don were also on the tour. It was nice to see the place from the water. After that we went to the movies to see The Dark Knight. Great film, shame Heath Ledger is dead now. Walked back to Lilla Torg and had dinner at the Italian restaurant Tim &amp; I had eaten at on the first night.

... regulars, so not much of a story there. To sum up, everyone speaks English in Norway so there was hardly any culture shock whatsoever. The only difference between a city like Copenhagen and Boston would be the fact that absolutely none of the citizens jaywalk (the walk/do not walk traffic signals are practically their bible) and beers/food seems to be a few dollars more expensive. Let me know if you have any extreme sport recommendations for my last five country stops?

... city. They are a Copenhagen team (Brondby) from the west side, equivalent to the poorer side. When they wear black, it means they want to fight... Esbjerg is a fishing town in Denmark, they are in blue and white. I think they were surprised as me, they had never seen anything like it ...

... name is Wolfgang Lemburg. But people call me Lemmi. Everyone knows me as Lemmi. Here is my phone number and if you ever come to Fehmarn, ring me up." I thanked him, we shook hands and I left the station. It was still raining outside. According to Mrs.Madsen's instructions, I took the so-called fast bus line, 250S, asked the driver to alert me as to where I was supposed to get off and waited for my stop to come. Soon I was out, took a shelter from the rain so I could unfold ...

... would take us two plus our bikes. only one of us and a bike. so about 45mins later we arrived home and i must say that the ride seamed to sober up dave a little. the next day we watched skinny play football if that is what you want to call it. his team was a little overweight and had a few good players but they did loose by 10 points. skinny could bearly run with a hudge blister on his foot which he latter took the skin of and had to bandage it up i think it ...

... was an exciting moment, and a big group hug! It took forever for everyone to get sorted out, but 45 minutes later there was a large group of people ready to head downtown. We made it to the train station, and then after getting everyone tickets, we were on the train and headed down Stroget. I ended up as navigator, and there were a lot of people questioning my directions as we walked, but eventually we got to Lord Nelson. The bar itself was small, and with the group of us ...

... at the Jackson Speedway. We sat and waited for some car to crash, and finally 4-6 cars crashed in the track, luckily no one died, just severely injured. Another great moment was karaoke night at the local pub in Windom. You're never gonna guess which song I sang on the stage, hehe.. I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor of course! which was a big hit! The owner of the pub came to talk to me after my performance and told me that I ...
