Eeny, meeny, miny, Malmo

With all that nature around us we just had to go for a walk. Lovely it was too, and the rain mostly held off. We then headed to Malmo which we had skipped when we entered Sweden way back when.



We found our overnight spot in yet another marina, this one with a view of the Oresund bridge,then got the bikes out and pedalled (or in J's case powered) into town. 

Not a German one, but a bunker all the same. Not surprisingly they line the beaches along this stretch of coast. The German's didn't have a habit of respecting neutrality back then.

The 'Twisted Tower' is a Malmo landmark. Interesting architecture.

A bathing resort

Malmo castle. The lighter coloured patches are all that remain of the first castle. As seems to be the usual it was a prison for a time.

Art deco? Art nouveau? Arty anyway. This was opposite a shop dedicated to liquorice in which we ignored every new and original piece of liquorice and bought RJs Chocolate Liquorice Logs which we could have got anywhere in the UK.

We've seen a couple Order of the Oddfellows buildings in Sweden.



This chemist still had the old shelves and display cases from the 19th C





The old adverts have been renovated, and contrast nicely with KFC.

Prince Phillip would be proud, as he invented carriage racing apparently
