And on Day Eight the touring began anew.
Having seen Wife and my posts on 'The Exciting Vistula River' our top notch local guides insisted that we first see...
Exciting Malmo!
Brought to you by Number Three Malmo Tours
"Hi! We're your guides from Number Three Malmo Tours!
"Um...There are just two of you."
"Yes"
"But you are Number Three Malmo Guides."
"Yes"
"Okay. Never Mind."
FIRST - EXCITING ÖRESUNDSBRON VIEWPOINT
One must fight to get a parking place
With a lovely view of the world's most expensive (in toll charged) bridge between Sweden and Denmark
Then it was off to the EVEN MORE EXCITING RIBERSBORG BEACH
Which (if you can believe it) was even MORE crowded
We caught a view of Espouses Fotograficus Nordica
View of Malmo's famous 'Turning Torso' building (that neither turns nor in any way resembles a torso)
HOWEVER, it did have something that was WORLD CLASS!
I present to you...
THE FINEST PUBLIC TOILET THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED IN ALL OF MY TRAVELS!
This is NOT an exaggeration. It is a GIVEN that you average public toilet will be lacking in some facet of its requirements. No hot water (almost universal), automatic dryers that don't work. Paper towel holders that are empty. Dirty, flimsy toilets. And that is the 'average'. There are plenty that are less than average.
Behold what a public (male) toilet should be!
That urinal? Solid. The two buttons in red? One is for water...HOT water. The other is for a hand dryer with HOT air. And there was a soap dispenser, WITH SOAP.
Then it was into Malmo City itself
Sweden is known for its centralized childcare
Walking through a park we noticed a tree with two different kinds of leaves
Something we've never seen before. A tree, with another kind of tree growing right in its center. Believe it or Not
Karl Gustave Fika, Royal Scion in the Seventeenth Century and developer of the Fika concept of having coffee and a sweet during the day. He clearly enjoyed the concept.
