Day Trip to Malmö, Sweden



During our trip to Copenhagen, we decided to take a quick 20 minute bus ride over the ocean on the 5-mile Oresund bridge to visit Sweden.

Malmö is a sweet little town on the water with 270,00 residents. When we arrived it was rainy but the quaintness still shined brightly through the waterdrops. We made our way to the main square and discovered the ornate city hall. Everywhere we went the Christmas decor was lit up or at least being worked on (see photo). The Scandanavians take their Christmas decor serious, afterall...this is home to Santa Claus! And Sweden is also home to some amazing tennis stars, including our friend Björn Borg...who owns an undie store that is really expensive (see photo and be sure to click on his name to be directed to his HOT website). We had spicy hot thai food, visited the chocoloate museum and were entertained by the musical characters all along the pedestrian mall. Before we new it, it was 3:45 p.m. and we were boarding the bus back to Copenhagen.

Do they only sell men's undies? That is a real hottie standing in the door to his shop. Maybe she could buy a pair for her brother? Oh, well, guess you missed that chance.

I'm not sure Bobby is worth $40 US for a pair of undies...!
