Sweden - Day 5

March 16, 2008
Copenhagen

Just a quick note to let you know we're back from Aero and situated in a hotel just outside of Copenhagen. Tomorrow we'll head across the bridge to Sweden, explore Lund, and then head north back to Goteborg.

Aero is amazing. It's a town preserved to its medieval appearance and very interesting to see. We took a drive in the countryside as well and enjoyed it immensely. Our B&B last night (Pension Vestergade 44) was great and we had a terrific supper at Mumm's Restaurant.

Gotta move on, 'cos this is a free computer in the lobby (internet access in our room is not free and we're cheap!!).

Bye for now. We'll be in touch again from Gotheburg.

Sweden - Day 4

March 14, 2008
Denmark

Today was our Denmark day. We left our B&B bright and early this morning and headed across the countryside to Frederiksborg Castle, the grandest castle in Scandinavia. After we toured the castle, we headed back to the highway and drove to Svendborg to catch the ferry to Aero. the town of Aeroskobing is everything Rick Steves said it is. We were greeted at our Pension by Susanna, who welcomed us like old friends and served us a pot of tea in the library.

She recommended Mumm's, a restaurant around the corner, for dinner, where we were greeted as 'The Canadians'. Apparently, not many Canadians make it to this little corner of Denmark. We had a little walk around the town after dark tonight, but plan to have a better look in the daylight. Then we're catching the 2:55 ferry back to Svendborg and then we'll hi-tail it back to Copenhagen for the night.

We'll probably have internet there, but in case we don't or are too tired to email, our plan is then to cross the bridge to Malmo on Monday morning, visit Lund for a while and then head back to Gothenburg (we have to return the rental car by 5 on Monday). We'll get established in our hotel and probably meet up with Charles and Michele who will arrive on Monday as well.
