Trip to Malmö Sweden...

Today was another unusually nice day in Scandinavia, so we decided to once again hit the road and do some exploring. This time, as mentioned in my previous post, our destination was Sweden's third largest city, Malmö (pop. 275,000).

A group of six of us met at Copenhagen's main train station this morning at 10:00 am and off we went. The train ride was only 30 minutes or so and took us across Europe's longest bridge (8 km or 5 mi), which connects Denmark and Sweden. The group today included 4 Austrians, including my roommate Chris, and 2 Americans.

Upon arrival in Malmö, we took a 1 hour scenic boat tour around the city. One of the most interesting things on the tour was the very large, modern, and architecturally interesting sky scraper which serves as a posh residence for the well to do. We also saw some of the old buildings which line the water and are, as the guide said, "where the rich and famous live."

After our boat tour we made our way through the cobble stoned city center and on to the park where we had a picnic in the sun. In the park, we enjoyed the scenery and sun as well as made some new web footed friends.

All in all the trip was great and marks the third country I have visited since I left last month. Three down and many more to come! Take a look at the pictures from our trip here.
