Stortorget 7 Malmö, Skåne, Sweden, 20101, 40-693-5400
Carrie had to work. Kaye and Patsy went on a 3 hour walking tour of Malmo. Tour guide Anette Olsson was very informative and helpful; she grounded us and let us know where we were in relation to the central city. Toured the western harbor area; the twisted torso building and planned housing next to it in an old industrial area. The Kings Park, windmill, garden, coffee break, old part of the city, city center, main square (Stortorget), small square (Lilla Torg.), St. Peter's and town hall. Sta...

Patsy and Kaye took a morning bus tour of Malmo; went to a suburb and along the harbor. Got to snap pictures of the Oresund between Malmo and Copenhagen. Carrie joined us in the afternoon to tour the Viking Reserve of Foteviken, about 20 km from Malmo. This is a 'living history' settlement with interpreters. It consists of a re-creation of a village in the year 1134 AD, late Viking era. The fields of yellow rape on the way over to Foteviken were amazing! Farms looked like the buildings were f...
Malmö, Skåne Län, Sweden aldrichc Carrie wasn't feeling well this morning...too much partying at the Roche event at City Hall the night before! She didn't get home from dinner until 1 a.m. Patsy and Kaye went to breakfast; had Swedish pancakes, lots of cheeses, fresh-baked bread and meat. Carrie did manage to make it to the conference at noon. Patsy and Kaye went on a boat ride oe the canal. It was about 50 minutes and went clear around the original medieval city and was U-shaped.
Went to the Cog Museum in the aftern...
Kaye:
Last day of the conference, will stay here tonight and then need to find a room for Friday night. Carrie has a long day today. Pat and I plan to do the beach and Kung Park, and probably some shopping. Mailed Post Cards. Most shops don't open until ten O'clock so we are heading to Central Station, beach, park etc.
Patsy:
Today we went to the beach, the fish houses and stalls; they sell fish there every day, and we had lunch at the coffeehouse in the Kungs Park (Kings Par...

... of wine or coffee with a friend. As Richard discussed why the Danes are so happy, some random guy from probably the UK or Australia yelled out "It's the women, mate!" Funny, but this definitely can't be the only criteria - otherwise Spaniards would rate off the charts in terms of happiness! Oh, Spain .... how I miss you ... all I can say is that any time I spend in Spain is marked by a feeling of happiness. And when the ...
Copenhagen, Denmark pwong... give me $$$ if I volunteered myself off the flight. The offer was that I would be booked on another flight that would get me to Berlin 4 hrs later than my original flight and that I would be given 150 Euros for my trouble. He then asked - Deal or No Deal? I thought it was a no brainer. I said Deal and I was 150 Euros richer. What was amazing was that I spent a bit less than that amount during my 3 days in Copenhagen. So basically my trip has cost me nothing at this point and ...
Copenhagen, Zealand, Denmark dinovagabond... Rådhus Pladsen square, called after the City Hall, of course. In order to get there, I had some two kilometres to cover. But first off, my attention was drawn to Sankt Marcus kirke, an imposing structure for which I still don't know if it is Lutheran or catholic. And interestingly enough, no relevant København tourist guide mentions it at all. I suppose eyes deceive. Now it rained, now it did not, and I eneterd the City by the way of Gyldenløvesgade street. At any rate, so far ...
København, Denmark the_wayfarer... dedicated to the man that wrote the little mermaid. and yes it is a very little mermaid statue next to the water. we road our bikes around a lot, had brunch and went on a very relaxing cannal tour which the guy was speeking in both english and danish and so it got a bit confusing at times and he kept saying watch out for the very low bridge which you could touch if you put your arms up. we went to bakery for a snack / late lunch which was delicious - and ...
Copenhagen, Denmark lisavinci... drinking, he was being my sober buddy and helping me steer clear of alcohol. He has this thing with his friends that he'll ask you three times if it's something you really want to do, and if you answer yes all three times you're on your own, otherwise he'll help you out. Well, Troy ordered a round of Tequila, and I didn't want any. Reky asked me three times if I was sure, and I was, so he got Troy to lay off me ... then Stacey asked me if I was sure... and I jumped up and ...
