Malmö and the last of the Sun and Sweden

Crayfish for Midsummer celebrations

So summer is drawing to an end and the sun is being replaced by rain as the nights get colder! I haven't seen rain quite as heavy or thunder as loud - very cool!

As part of the Midummer celebrations, crayfish is eaten! We had crayfish...and true to tradition, Vodka - a shot after each crayfish is eaten! Every time the glasses are refilled, everyone has to sing a swedish song - there were some strange sounds coming from the courtyard..!

A week later I visited Malmo for the last time - its a really great city - small but some beautiful old historic buildings!

I went to Stortorget, Malmö's largest square built in 1536, which has the town hall and also a great equestrian statue of King Karl X Gustav. Also explored the a market square called Lilla Torg (Little Square). It's a really cute and charming square with lots of outdoor restaurants, that are full in the summer...but dead, when the winter hits.

I also saw Pirates of the Carribean at the movies in the city centre.
