Moving on to Malmö, the drive was uneventful, but a pleasant drive through more agricultural areas. (Anyway, uneventful is good!) Sweden is mostly forest, but a lot of the area visible from the highways is farm land, and quite flat for the most part. The highest point in Sweden is less than 7000 feet. On the way to Malmö, we saw many, many gigantic windmills of the modern type, and we saw one windmill that looked like classic windmills we associate with Holland. We hoped to go back to it.

The GPS had a little trouble again in Malmö due to construction–and my taking a wrong turn, but we eventually found our way to our destination, a nice AirBnB apartment. It is bright and roomy and has modern conveniences such as a dishwasher and washer/dryer, which are not that common in the areas where we have been. It has a little private deck that is cool in the evening and where I can sit out and work on this blog. Rather than inserting a bunch of my own pictures, you can see where we “live” at this AirBnB link.  The pictures are accurate, except for the private garden, which is now a covered deck.

We walked to a square today where there is an open-air produce market, and had lunch at a pub, where we finally got our fish and chips!

Along the way, Janie noticed this very descriptive sign, which required no words to get across its message!

Across the street from our apartment, there is an interesting church tower.  It looks old and I want to find out more about it.  There is a church next door and I plan to go ask about its history.
