The plane ride was great – great service, great food (really) – but hot. 

John and I sat next to a Danish woman and a man from Lund on the airplane.  Both were very friendly and informative.

We arrived in Copenhagen airport at ~0700.  There were no security checks, and we did have to not pay to use a luggage trolley.


 I loved the two statues in the above picture!!

Managed to get our 6 suitcases, two computer bags, and ourselves onto the train to Malmo.  From there we took a short taxi ride to the apartment.  The driver was a very friendly 27 year old Palestinian who said he has 200 cousins in Malmo.  The tab was 127 Kroners.  When John gave him 150, the driver returned 50 and said it was enough.

A woman rode by the apartment in a tricycle with one wheel behind and 2 wheels in the front.  She had a child behind her in a child carrier chair.  In the front of the tricycle was a very large basket that was close to the ground and was probably around 30” in diameter.  In it was sitting an older child, probably ~ 4 years old, and a bunch of groceries!  It was great!

 We went to the grocery store to pick up odds and ends, fully aware that we had to carry everything back (no car – though we could have taken a bus.), so we didn’t by too too much.





Then out for another walk.  We are trying to walk a lot so that we can get our bearings.  We noticed that the Avengers movie – which was filmed in Cleveland, partly at NASA was opening tonight full week earlier than in Cleveland.  So of course we went.  We really enjoyed it!!  Two differences of note are that the seats in the movie theater are assigned – and that the bathroom was for both men and women.  The stalls went from floor to ceiling, but it did seem strange. 



Then more walking, and home.
