Swedish Surprise 🇸🇪

Since it was such a beautiful day, and since Sweden is just a 15 minute train ride across the sea from Denmark, a group of us took this journey to add a new country to our experience....a lucky group of 7 on Friday the 13th. This picture is a bit fuzzy, because it was taken on the train as we zoomed past the border point in the middle of the channel.

We went to the city of Malmö, and spent about two hours walking around the historic downtown area. 

We visited Malmohaus Castle, which the Swedish used as a fortress.

Just so I have proof that I was really in Sweden, too, here I am in front of another famous Malmö landmark, the Turning Torso (an apartment building with a unique design).

We also enjoyed walking in one of the local parks, which was just beautiful at the beginning of summer.

A trip to Sweden wouldn't be complete without some souvenirs. We found a great shop near the famous Lilla Torg square, complete with t-shirts, magnets, and bells! 

We took the train back to Copenhagen, and even made it to dinner on time at 6pm....a real whirlwind of a trip across the border!
