Quality Konserthuset Malmö

I arrived in Malmo at 7:51pm and had a little time before my 9:30pm train to Berlin. I took a stroll around the city and found the buildings to look very similar to some of the buildings found in Stockholm. Malmo is a place for Swedish people to live, especially if they work in Copenhagen. It is the closest Swedish city to Denmark. I boarded the 9:30pm train and was very glad to have booked a room with only two beds. There was sooooo much room and we even had our own ...

... rape on the way over to Foteviken were amazing! Farms looked like the buildings were floating in a sea of bright yellow. Rape seed is used to produce oil for cooking, primarily. Our guide (Annette again) said an early 'heat wave' had caused plants to grow and bloom sooner than usual, after which colder weather damaged them. Lots of horses and ponies in the countryside. There is supposed to be a big ...

... when I was 18, none of them live in K-na anymore, they all moved to Lund, Stockholm, Gothenburg, Uppsala etc. and only come home to visit in their summer holidays. My cousin Linn and her boyfriend Linn live in Malmo but were at this time on holidays in Greece so we were able to stay in their apartment. After arriving we got straight into the task of making cocktails. The reason for going to Malmo at this time was because of the festival that was ...

... flight, so not to meet him in the city but go straight to Sweden and check in at the hotel. So I do. Train across the sea to Sweden. The channel is full of wind farms rising up out of the water. Same story upon arriving in Malmö, customs and immigration don't exist. The Savoy is directly across the canal from the Central Station. Check in, get settled and call Brian. He's on the train to Copenhagen, going to pick up ...

Didn't feel like spending any money on the in breakfast at the hostel (though I heard it was pretty good), so instead I picked up some yogurt and a banana at the grocery store. Used the cheap internet at the train station, then off for a walking tour with a guy named Richard Karpen. His gimmick is that he gives the tour as Hans Christian Andersen (HCA) - normally, I'm not big on tours but this guy was great, incredibly ...

Today was a travel day. Nothing exciting to report but I'll report the unexciting anyway. I took off from my hostel at 6:45 am to make my 11:15 flight to Berlin. I wanted to leave early just in case there was going to be an issue reaching the airport by metro. My understanding is if I miss a flight on my RTW ticket, the rest of my ticket would be void. So a rule I have set for myself is to get to an airport at least 4 hrs before my flight takes off. I've created a list of ...

... city map, looked around to get my bearings and set towards Adolph Steens Allé. The Greek restaurant Mrs.Madsen had mentioned as an orientation that I would be on the right way was there. And very close to it the address I was looking for. Mrs.Madsen was a very nice, talkative lady in her mid-fifties who worked as a teacher in a school for mentally handicapped children. She told me she rented the room for tourists not because she was in a financial need, but because she wanted ...

... to plead for sympathy with him limping everywhere. the footy was cold and a few drizzles of rain and i kept thinking to my self what am i doing here all i wanted was a cup of coffee. daved tried his best to shelter me from the wind but i still really felt the cold. that night we went to michaels place which is above a bar and looks really cool. it was still fresh outside so we rugged up a bit. my headach from the previous nights and the cold day was still ...

... was full! We also got a bit of a history lesson here when Tom told us that Lord Nelson was a famous British general that had flattened Copenhagen ages ago. We all had a couple beers, and then I ordered a shot that Janet, a lady I work with, told me was traditionally Danish, Gammel Dansk, aka North Sea Oil (named for the colour and taste of the shot)! The bartender was great and told me all about it. I guess the Danes sip it after supper or shoot it after a ...
