Sweden
For Sweden, I planned to spend some time in Malmö and Lund, which seems to be a young student city. I was kind of undecided, so I let my AI friend put together a day according to my likes/dislikes. Seems as good an approach as any.
I took the car ferry to Sweden from Helsingor to Helsingborg.
I ended up not doing much in Malmö, because I was enjoying Lund so much.
Lund Cathedral
The main attraction is Lund Cathedral, which was constructed from the 11th century onwards. In those days, when Lund was still a part of Denmark, this was the main religious center.
Beside its importance, it exudes a peaceful feeling.
Astronomical Clock
Inside the church, people are mainly drawn to astronomical clock which dates back to the 15th century and tells you just about anything you could possibly want to know about the skies.
It is quite confusing, shows a 24 h time of day, position of sun and moon, lunar phase and the zodiac.
The bottom shows the date. The clock was reconstructed in 1923 and shows dates up to 2123. It also shows important saint days, Easter computation, etc.
Lund is a lovely place to just wander around, people are quite laid back.
Stunning house.
They seem to take great care of their town.
I left Sweden by way of the Oresund Bridge (almost 8km). I had tried to book the ticket online, but the app told me my car was already registered to a contract. When I got to the booth and wanted to pay, the light switched to green. There were cars behind me, so I had no choice but to drive. I guess I must be on someone else's bill.
