Southern Sweden (Post #33)

Wednesday, August 3rd, 2005

Hi friends!

Michele here…today is Wednesday, August 3rd, 11:00am our time, 5:00am Washington DC time. We have been traveling a lot from town to town lately. Most of our travels recently have been in southern Norway and southern Sweden. Here has been our schedule:

Wednesday, July 27 – Olso, Norway
Thursday, July 28 – Oslo, Norway to Gothenburg, Sweden
Friday, july 29 – Gothenburg, Sweden to Varberg, Sweden
Saturday, July 30 – Gothenburg, Sweden
Sunday, July 31 -Gothenburg, Sweden
Aug 1 – Gothenburg, Sweden to Ystad, Sweden
Aug 2 – Ystad, took day trip to Kåseburga
Aug 3 (today) – Ystad, Sweden to Malmö, Sweden

Our last few days in Oslo, Norway we got our India visas, went to the King’s castle, and visited a reptile park. Getting the India visas was important because you MUST have the visa before you even get on the plane to India. Most of the other countries we are going to you can get the visas in the airports but no so for India. We basically visited the King’s castle because it was on the way to the reptile park. The reptile park was quite funny. It was on the 4th floor of an office building and there was nothing really park-like about it. However, it was definitely more quality than quantity, meaning that although there were not a lot of reptiles the ones there were really quite spectacular.

The first night in Gothenberg, we somehow got into a suite in a hotel.

I was sitting on an NSB train on the way from Bergen to Oslo (both Norwegian cities) just after consuming a rather mediocre Crispo chocolate bar when my right hand touched a napkin on my left leg. I picked it up and wiped the corners of my mouth. “Huh. This doesn’t feel like a normal napkin. It feels a bit more like a dried out wet-wipe,” i thought. I looked at it as i pulled it away from my face and saw
