27th June, 1155am - MALMO

The town square in Malmo

See the 2 benches there? We sat there eating dinner when we arrived in Malmo, sandwiches that we had made in Stockholm before leaving. As we sat there, I noticed that we were being watched intently by some pigeons, so I chucked a couple of crumbs from my bread to the nearest one, who quickly pecked it up, while swatting away some others who flew for the same crumbs.When I stopped giving crumbs, the bird would take to flight, flying in circles around me, while I spun on the same spot, following him with my eyes. The moment I threw some bread on the ground, he would swoop to the spot, and peck it up. When I stopped, he would coo at me, asking for more, before circling me again. This game continued till Jordan berated me for attracting the pigeons in the area, and warning me about the acidity of pigeon shit. Spoilsport.

Sitting on the train, waiting to go to Copenhagen now. We're just about to leave Malmo for Copenhagen via train now.

We reached Malmo at around 4pm yesterday, and decided to spend the night there before setting off for Cop. After driving around the town asking around, we found the Quality Hotel. OMG, after staying in student hostels, it was such a luxury to stay in a REAL hotel. I swear we all went crazy at the sight of the beds, the bathrooms, and the TV in our rooms. Personally I went crazy at the sight of the hairdryer. :p

And there were jacuzzi and sauna services included! OMG OMG OMG! How the hotel worked, is that the sauna for men and women were in 2 separate rooms, connected to a common jacuzzi, so when the guys were in the jacuzzi, us girls would be in the sauna, and vice versa. AAAAHHHHHH.........

Then we spent the night in the room playing cards, ( heart attack ) watching some TV ( a Brit movie about how ordinary British folks coped during the Blitz. Never found out the name )  and that was it.

Malmo itself seems to be quite a dead town. There were hardly anyone walking around and the place seemed pretty deserted, though quite pretty at the same time. A little unnerving to imagine up reasons why it could be so deserted, but never mind.

Mornign we woke up to the best buffet breakfast we've had so far, and all were satisfied. Even managed to steal some fruit. Now the train has started moving. Onwards to Copenhagen!
