Malmo

We woke about 4am to daylight. We have to work through the large time difference. Today was certainly slow for both of us. Regan managed to collect a cold on the trip so was hard to tell if the jet lag was worse than the cold.

The weather was cool with passing showers. Malmo has a lot of wind which explains the many wind turbines in the area. We managed a walk to the local cafe for coffee and cake. One of those passing showers decided to corner us on the way home.

We have had a lovely introduction to Emily and Fredrik’s new family home. A large house with many secret cupboards including a basement. The suburb has many similar houses so was lovely to walk the back streets to see the Swedish architecture. We also had to get used to doors opening outwards.

Of course with a new home comes many new jobs to do around the house. Grant and Regan needed to assemble the obligatory IKEA kit set. We think it may be part of the visa requirements to enter Sweden!

Another walk later to the supermarket for a few groceries. I found it unusual that you can tap and pay while the checkout operator is scanning the groceries. No need to wait until all the groceries are totalled up. Another early night planned and hoping for more energy tomorrowMeer informatie
