Malmö , enroute to Stockholm | Me at Malmohus Castle and the Stinky Moat |
After Liz and I spent about a week in wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen(!), we reluctantly left the delicious beers, sausages and fun behind so that we could attend a wedding in Frosunda. Where the hell is Frosunda? Yes, I heard you saying that. Liz and I didn't know either so we were actually reluctant to leave . All we know was that it was somewhere in the depths of IKEA land. Perhaps where the cows were. But we didn't care. Our shallow game plan then was to enjoy first and check out places that were actually in the Lonely Planet. After that, we could panic and throw our hands in the air in despair if a planned rendezvous in Stockholm didn't work out. Yes, we were supposed to meet another Singaporean (living in London) in Stockholm so that we could be escorted to the wedding venue. But till then, Malmö(pronounced mahl-mer and not mahl-moe) was our chosen destination. Why? Simply because it was along the way to Stockholm and it was clearly marked on the map. Despite our lame reasoning, it turned out to be a good decision. After a beautifully scenic train ride from Copenhagen Central Station across the Oresund (the watery channel seperating Denmark and Sweden)... |
| Malmö's Antiquated St. Petri |
|  | Antiquated Churches and more.. ..We descended on a wonderfully quiet place with antiquated churches, parks, castles and museums. Encouraged with our find, Liz and I bought the card with the Duck's ass and toured this beautiful place. |
| Suntanning, the Malmö way |
| | The card with the duck's ass got us unlimited rides on the public buses, entries to many museums including an impressive Renaissance. But what caught our interest most were the parks in the region. They were beautiful post autumn and better still free. Click open my pages to find out more. |

I had not noticed that European kings were green! I must have a closer look! The “Musée océanographique de Monaco” founded by Prince Albert Ist is another Royal establishment housing a lot of aquarium. Great photo of the Stadsbibliotek ! | Nemorino Mon Apr 23, 2007 10:15 UTC
Good tip on making local friends: show them photos of the sculptures and ask for directions. I doubt if it will work for me as well as it did for you, but it's worth a try. That train journey across the Øresund Bridge sounds great, though short. | Sjalen Sat Mar 24, 2007 21:09 UTC
On your "party animal" text I'd just like to inform you that Malmö has Scandinavia's largest dance floor at Slagthuset and plenty of night clubs at Möllevången so it's more daytime that's quiet! :) | Pixiekatten Fri Sep 22, 2006 23:18 UTC
