Today was pretty much an all day travel day, as we headed to Petra's family's summer home in Simrishamn, Sweden. Simrishamn is in the far southeast tip of Sweden and is actually just an hour's drive from Copenhagen, Denmark. In fact, at one time this area was part of Denmark.
This is a shot of the Stockholm train station. We caught the 10;21 am train for a four hour ride on the first leg of the trip. We actually sat in first class and it was very comfortable.
The train took us to Lund, Sweden, which is pictured here. From here we caught a bus, which was not as comfortable as the train, for the hour and a half ride to Simrishamn.
Lund is where Petra's daughter, Fanny, went to the university. This is a picture of a huge bike parking lot in Lund that was filled with hundreds and hundreds of bikes that belong to the university students. Apparently they just leave the bikes there during summer break and then will use them again when they return to school.
When we finally arrived in Simrishamn, after a six hour trip, it was raining and the wind was blowing, so there was no exploration today.
So we just settled in at Petra and Thomas's beautiful summer home and had a wonderful spaghetti dinner with Thomas, Bjorn and Petra (left to right, not counting Geo).

That's pretty much today's summary. Tomorrow it is supposed to be nice enough to do some hiking and sightseeing. The end is drawing near............
