Swimmin in Sweden

On Sunday, after two good nights out in Copenhagen, we packed our stuff and took the long bridge (13 or so km) to Malmo Sweden, to check it off the list as well as check out the town, which is supposed to be quaint and warrant an afternoon of touring.

In order to see the most of the town, we rented bikes for 3 hours (costing about 50 Kr or $10 each). It was an amazing way to get around the town and we'll definitely do it in the next places we visit. We covered the town in 5% of the time it would have otherwise taken. We cruised around the old town, with its cobblestone streets and 18th century buildings, through the city parks, and out to the new part of town, at the developed seaside, which is filled with trendy restaurants, swimming areas, and beach volleyball (for our single friends searching for their Swedish soul-mate).

After biking the old town squares and parks, we made it out to the new area, stripped down behind Erins scraf-thingy, got the swim trunks on, and went swimming in the Baltic sea! It was very refreshing and a beautiful place for a dip. Afterwards we biked back to the old town, had a lunch and were off to the airport (timing was a little tight to say the least, thankfully we made it from Sweden to our gate at Cophenhagen airport in about 40 minutes....I don't recommend it!

A thrilling end to yet another memorable weekend!
