Bound for Norway

We just finished breakfast and are getting ready for a 2.5 hour drive to Halden Norway

Sketching over the Kattegat

A misty rain falling at this lookout over the Kattegat Strait (Hovås, Sweden). Still possible to do a watercolour sketch but the humidity makes the results unpredictable.

Dinner Tonight

Day 2 in Sweden

We dropped the boys off at the Lisberg roller coaster park and are now at the Nordic Watercolour Museum in Skärhamn.

Breakfast

Hovås, Sweden

Picked Melanie and the boys up at the CPH airport. Got the rental car and drove up the west coast of Sweden.  Hovås is just south of Gottenburg.

The Bridge

It is no secret that one of my favourite shows on Netflix is The Bridge.  It cost about $35 Canadian to get a return train ticket from Copenhagen to Malmo via the Øresund Bridge.

Malmö Sweden

It was super easy to take the train from Copenhagen Central Station to Malmö central.

Malmö central station

Windmill near Malmö castle

Malmo castle (Malmöhus Castle) is Scandinavia´s oldest surviving Renaissance castle.  Denmark´s coins were minted here in the Middle Ages and here Crown Prince Frederick held wild parties in the 16th century. Prisoners were beheaded in the courtyard in the 19th century. 

2018 Trip - Denmark, Sweden, and Norway

Stay tuned :)

Smiley Monkey Candy

Take a close look at the monkey on this package. Notice his smile.

This is a very salty black licorice snack.

Skalle

These are interesting little devils.

They are wine gums that are a mix of licorice and sour berry that we picked up in Sweden.  You would think that black licorice mixed with anything would be a disaster.

So these were a surprise - confusing flavour at first that was pleasantly nice after awhile.

Consensus is an 8.5/10

In Sweden

Drove over the bridge from Copenhagen to southern Sweden today.
