Malmo, Sweden.




It seems to be taking me a very long time to get through our trip. Oh well. Just to recap, we have already been to Amsterdam, driven through Germany and took the train/ferry to Copenhagen. After spending the night in Copenhagen, we took a train to Sweden over one of the world's longest bridges. We arrived in Malmo early, ready to pick up our car and begin our drive. However, the Hertz rental car office decided to not open until 3pm. So, we had some time to kill. It was so so foggy everything seemed like some kind of dream. And, we could barely see where we were going. We wandered into town and through it toward the old palace. Mike had been to Malmo before, so he knew where we were going. There is a botanical garden around the palace and it was just beautiful in the morning fog. The palace is a museum now and we went to the gift shop and then walked back to the square for lunch. It was cold and all of the restaurants have blankets draped over the chairs outside and heaters, so we ate outside. After lunch, it was finally time to get the car so we walked back to Hertz. Everything looked very different without the fog! We picked up our Volvo wagon and drove into the Swedish countryside on our way to Norway.
