Sweden

Wednesday we took T&W to "that other" Scandinavian country. Malmo, Sweden is a fun little town to visit. It is a short hop skip and a jump away from us and we get to ride over the amazing Oresund Bridge. It is a bridge and a tunnel that goes under the water. This was our third trip to Malmo and enjoyed it. Our day was filled with parks, baby geese, coffee, and lots of walking. T&W said they were thankful we saved this walking day to closer to the end of the trip or they might have decided to just stay at the apartment the rest of their trip! haha.

We always compare going to Malmo with crossing the Border in El Paso to go to Mexico. But the truth is, it is nothing like that at all. Its a cute little town that is cheaper than neighboring Denmark. While they are just a strip of water away you can definitely feel that you aren't in Denmark anymore. At least in my opinion.

When we arrived none of us could go on without coffee. Well, Tanya could, but shes sweet and didn't mind the three of us stopping for coffee. Wayne surprised her with this delicious looking hot chocolate.

Ummm YUM!!!

How cool for Wayne that you found a Wayne's Coffee!

That fountain sure is creepy!!

I've never been to Malmø. Your pictures from there reminds me of Århus. I don't remember if you have been there?
