Where am I ?

Now in Malmo, Sweden, it’s cool and rainy. Tesla supercharger is seriously qued up so using another type. I don’t even know whose it is but the Octopus Electroverse card works, just a single tap.

Didn’t know this until I watched someone just use a bank card and EV charge process started, I always thought it was specific EV cards…. I use the octopus card, and find it no hassle

Are you going across ‘The Bridge’ Nowty ? (Or have you already done it !)

If you’ve never been to Copenhagen, well worth a visit - we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Had a lovely swim in the canals at Kalvebod Wave where I learned from one of the young ladies there that I was definitely Viking

The original plan was from Poland to drive north through the 3 Baltic states then take the Ferry from Tallin to Helsinki or Stockholm. But the weather is pants for a few days so we took the easier option on a Ferry from Gdynia (near Gdansk) to Karlskrona, then drive to Malmo. We are meeting up with one of SWMBO old friends who works here in a hotel which is currently hosting part of the Malmo Pride event which finishes today. SWMBO has just informed me we are meeting her friend in an hour or so for the rest of the party , eh….. I wasn't expecting this, but should be fun.

We will be returning via the Denmark bridges and Copenhagen is definitely going to be our next stop.

While you’re in Copenhagen, which is an eminently walkable city, it is worth using public transport to cut out some of the longer walks.

I’d suggest loading the DSB app on your and SWMBO’s phones.

Makes journeys so easy.

Obviously can be used for journeys outside of Copenhagen too.

We found it so good to use, particularly when jumping on an about to leave train from the airport without tickets - instantly recognises you’ve boarded the right train and automatically ‘checks out’ when you exit the train.

And the metro is a delight to use.

Malmo is also currently hosting the world championship of “walking” football. The hotels are full of middle aged participants.

It’s the cup finals day today, six simultaneous matches being played in the same stadium.

[nowty]

First final game is women’s England vs Sweden.

[nowty]

SWMBO who used to play in goal in Brazil is becoming very animated.


And England are now 1 - 0 up against the home side.

[nowty]

And it’s the first final game to women’s England, they won 1 - 0 and were the far better team.


The games seem to be 6 per side including the goal keeper and are 30 mins long and no half time so no changing ends.
