Day in Sweden

We went on a day-long bus trip up the coast of Denmark to Helsingør over to Helsingborg, Sweden by ferry.  We then drove down to the city of Lund, where we had about 2 hours to walk around, eat lunch, and go touring.  Thank goodness for the ham sandwiches we made from the breakfast buffet at the hotel!  We had a nice picnic in Lund's Botanical Gardens.  Then, back on the bus for a ride to Malmö, where Danes go to shop.  I had a slight meltdown (I got a cold and was feeling the worst of it) and sat drinking coffee while Will went off to shop.  Then back on the bus, over the Øresund Bridge, Europe's longest rail and road bridge, back to Copenhagen.

Minus my meltdown, it was a fun day and the bus driver was quite funny.  We had headphones with commentary about the areas we were seeing. We watched a lot of other tourists attempting to take video and photos out of the window as we drove by places (all of them were blurry, of course!) The driver also did a bit of extra touring for us, taking us to the Turning Torso tower in Malmö and a lookout point to see the bridge, which is pretty amazing.
