From the comforts of being looked after by Stina (and her Mum and Dad) to the comforts of being looked after Stina's sister (Matilda) in Malmo. It was great to be able to relax in a house with some luxuries of home life again - a kitchen with a fridge, and a nice lounge with state of the art surround sound and DVD player.
Malmo is home to the tallest building in Sweden, the 'Twisting Torso', and some great museums. We spent our time looking around the beautiful town and went to the beach for a bit of a dip. A series of the museums have the one entry ticket to them all. We decided to hit up a couple of them. The Science and Technology was a real find, they had a submarine you could look around, and a whole floor of hands-on exhibitions to explain different scientific theories. I'm not sure what we learnt but we had a great time playing on different games. We left with the high score for the geography game, (as you would hope with a Master in the team).
Watch Amelia on the oversized piano, again not sure what we learnt other than don't give up the geography.
The Bodies exhibition was on in Copenhagen so we decided to go have a look. It is amazing, they have all these real bodies that have been disected and preserved in all these different ways so you can see how the different parts of the human body works. It helps to not think that you are actually looking at someone's insides.
That was our time over in Scandinavia, after a great night sleep at the airport it was off to Paris.

Malmo is connected to Denmark by a 7.8km bridge, which takes you to Copenhagen. In the water under the bridge is a wind farm, good luck getting that past resource consent in NZ. We spent a couple of days looking around the town, seeing the Changing of the Guards, the Palace, the Little Mermaid, and the Calsberg factory. The port area which was also very beautiful (and expensive).
