Welcome back to the blog!
Well we’ve settled in really well to life here, everyone thinks we look Swedish, clearly my highlights have paid off!
Mark has completed his first two days at work and I have walked the length and breadth of the city and given myself blisters! Today we moved into the room that we will have for the rest of our time here so have finally been able to unpack which feels great. Our first room was great but this one is fantastic, large, open plan and Mark has managed to get his Wii connected to the TV so he’s happy.
I have found the local swimming pool and already completed my first bit of training for the Swimtrek. I am building up to the sea but so far it looks very choppy. I also experienced my first bit of Swedish nudity. I entered the sauna in typical prudish British style in my cosie and got a sign pointed out to me of lots of naked women so figured when in Sweden…it felt quite liberating. I then visited the nudist pool and it looked great so tried to convince Mark to go on his first Saturday off, but I think that will take some persuading.
Although Malmo is quite industrial on the outskirts, in the centre the buildings are beautiful with lots of quaint squares filled with cafes and restaurants. We went out for a meal with Mark’s work colleagues on Thursday which was lovely. Really looking forward to the next month here.
