On Saturday we took a trip across the Öresund (the Öre Strait) on the bridge and Tunnel that connects Sweden with Denmark. A bit like going from Bristol-Wales across the Severn bridge but this took a bit longer and the difference on the other side was more pronounced. The Swedish accent is quite strange, but I guess we have become acclimatised to that, the Danish however sound like a tape in reverse when they speak. We had been on holiday here before so were not particularly bothered about seeing the sights, we just meandered around, drinking beer, eating food and enjoying the sun as last time we visited it was snowing and freezing cold. After our delicious tapas meal we bought ourselves a Danish for pudding, but here they just call them pastries. In the main square there was a basketball tournament going on so we sat and watched several games. The competitors varied greatly in ability, some were like a bunch of old dads doing it for a laugh and others looked like the Harlem Globetrotters. One Scandinavian team were very entertaining to watch and what they lacked in height they made up for in showy dribbling and over-sized clothes.
