Malmo (Sweden) photos

On Sunday, we took off from Copenhagen Central station (Kobenhavn H) at around 9:30am and arrived in Malmo approximately 40 minutes later. We were supposed to spend our day in Malmo and Lund, but we end up spending too much time in Malmo because we went to quite a number of places and we spent quite a bit of time in each place.

Malmo is Sweden's third largest city. The wind was VERY strong when we were there and I will prove to you (with photos) that the wind is really strong and the fact that my hair looked messy in the photos is not my fault at all. Haha....
Anyway, here are the photos....

Justyna says, "Look! This is the proof to you that the wind is strong." Haha.....

Justyna says this is the sign of Autumn. She says she used to collect and play with them when she was a kid

It says, 'Form/Design Center opened in 1964 and is Sweden's oldest Design Centre.'

Arriving in Lund's train station from Malmo

Lund (Sweden) photos

We arrive in Lund from Malmo. Some of us are already very tired by the time we arrived, so we only spend about 2 hours in Lund. However, Jon, Nick and Bryan decided to stay longer to walk around the city and supposedly try Swedish food but it was too expensive so they end up eating in a Thai restaurant, which is not cheap either. Train ride from Malmo takes approximately 20 minutes (I didn't notice the exact timing because I was too tired and was resting in the train).

The Romanesque Lunds Domkyrka (cathedral) is a massive 900-year old reminder of the city's former reign as Scandinavia's religious center.
