Stads Hotellet Kristianstad

... we think they were used for grinding grain. A few of them are of the more modern Dutch type where the sails are attached to a cap that rotates into the wind. (We have also seen lots of modern electricity-producing windmills in Sweden, both in the ocean and on land.)

We drove back over the bridge and started the return to Malmo. We drove along the coast and through farm lands. A ...

Utflyktsdag på egen hand, inledde med Simrishamns bibliotek och betalning av sommarens eftersända räkningar. Även en vända på stan, ytterligare bokfynd från mannen med hatten samt lunch på Börjes skafferi. Vidare till Vitemöla och strandpromenad och Sayers läsning i sanden. Inhandlande av rapsolja och honung i Havängsbodarna. Cyklade iväg till middag med vänner till familjen, 12 till bordet. Dagens drink: Sherry

... empty building and warehouse taking measurements and making notes. I had the camera with me to take pictures of the machines for visual recall later and help Staffan measuring around the machines. It was really interesting to see how beds were made and how it goes from little wires to springs, into full fledged mattresses. It was eery walking around when you knew it must be a madhouse when all the machines are chugging along and it is filled with life.

Our last day in Sweden we packed our stuff, and drove with Inka towards Karslkrona, where the ferry was going to take us to the Polish port town of Gdynia. On the way to Karlskrona we stopped of at another couple of historical towns, and also on a strawberry field to enjoy the freshest strawberries possible.

... Inka. The following day, the rain stopped for a bit, but it was still overcast. We were determined to get out of the house and went to Ahus to the beach. The temperature was around 20 degrees, so we did not dare enter the water or don our bathing suits. Rather we walked up and down the beach of the Baltic Sea, in long pants and jackets, and enjoyed the wonderful sea air.

... Tivoli Gardens here are quite pleasant, though with some snow (woo hoo!) on the ground they weren't a place to linger today. Last day here today: tomorrow I leave first thing for Copenhagen, where I have about 24 hours to explore before flying home. Lovely to see Sarah but I don't wish I was staying in Kristianstad any longer!

... cloudy and rainy those first few days so I couldn't even tell which way was North. I've been relying on the help of my corridor mates (who are pretty awesome). Some of which have already been here for a semester. I really like the feel of Lund. It's like a small European town with ...

... and Jill went shopping. We eventually got to see a small castle (which really couldn't be called a castle), the twisting tower, and the Sweedish side of the Batlic Sea. Two of the splintered groups got back together to go home, while Antonio and Carla stayed to move onto Lund the next day. (Carla and Antonio spent the night with a very nice Communist lady and went to one of their meetings.)

Hey! Det her er så vores sidste entry for denne gang. I sidste entry lovede vi jer slutningen på vores eventyr, så den kommer her! Efter Taj Mahal tog vi som sagt videre til en mindre by, Orchha. Endnu en by med et fort og et marked. Noget Orchha havde patent på var dog en overbefolkning af fluer!! Vi overvejer lidt om Orchha er stedet hvor alle Indiens fluer tager hen på sommerferie, for det var virkelig ekstremt! Vores eneste aften i ...

... exhibition in the arena where the other bracket is playing in Halmstad, about an hour north of here. The arena is much nicer than the one we are in, but apparently it is not a hockey town so it will be tough to draw fans. We beat Finland there, 8-4. Monday was the best day of the trip so far. We had the day off and we went to Copenhagen. We drove the bus to Helsinborg, which is the largest city in the area. From there, we took a 20 minute ferry ...
