In the morning, we headed straight to Sweden through Malmo over the Øresund bridge, the longest and quite possibly the most expensive highway and railroad bridge in Europe. Unfortunately there wasn’t a place to stop to take pictures of the engineering wonder. Out stop for today was Gothenburg, the second largest city in Sweden. The city seemed to be one big shopping mall and we had never seen so many H&Ms in such close proximity that they all seemed to stream into one gigantic H&M complex engulfing the whole city. No matter which direction we would turn the red H&M sign was sure to be somewhere in sight.
So we did what everyone else seemed to be doing in the city and went shopping. We had come across rain too often already in our brief stay in Scandinavia, so we decided it was best if we get proper raincoats. We were headed towards a country where it rains more than it doesn’t. We live in Belgium, anyway so I’m sure we’d use them again. After shopping, we ate Indian take away in our room at the B&B we were staying in since it cost quite a bit extra to eat in and oriental food is a little bit cheaper than other kinds of food in Scandinavia.
