Malmö!

Malmö was our last stop in Sweden. Now, when we have reached it, we arre not sure of where to go next.

During the last two days here in Malmö we have been at Sammy's friend Danne's flat in. We arrived in Malmö already on Sunday, but there were no ferries going to Travemünde, Germany, on Monday so we will leave today Tuesday instead.

As we have stayed for more than a couple of hours in Malmö, we had the time to do more than usually. We had the pleasure of trying out some falafel at a local restaurant. It was awesome! Besides providing us with falafel, he gave us fresh organge juice and gave us the nicknames Niklas and Maria.

We have also checked out Malmö's beach, got us some food for our ferry journey, drunk some beers, cooked and watched a movie. Last but not least we have also had the pleasure of drinking milk to breakfast!

We have recieved the best of service from our great host Daniel. We really want to thank him for letting us stay here and for ínviting us for food and drinks. Today when we woke up, we found a pile of food products and a note saying "Take what you want!" How nice and kind isn't that!

Answers to posted questions

We have now been away for about two weeks and you guys have sent us some questions. We'll now try to answer them and encourage you to send us some more of your thoughts.

Hur känns det i rumporna? Hur laddar ni mobiler etc.?

(How are your butts? How do you recharge your mobile phones?)

We must say that our butts are quite OK. We've found some red marks and sometimes we take "butt pauses", but otherwise they are just fine.

We solve the charging situation differently depending on situation and creativity. So far we have charged them at Mange & Mia's place, Biltema, a camping, Eva & Kurt's place, McDonald's and Danne's place. Another option is random charging spots, like the one below.

Another tricky question concerns our water supply. Preferably we take water from fuel stations and public toilets, but we have also approached strangers and asked for water. We have refilled out bottles both in stores, cafés and private homes. A good place, not to forget, is public buildings, like schools, churches and kindergartens.

Backspegel?? I Skåne finns väl inga backar, eller??

(A rearview mirror? There are no hills in Skåne, right?)

It turned out that you are both right and wrong (and yes, we are just going to ignore your pun). Skåne is indeed very flat, but there are also some hills. In fact, we faced our longest uphill slope in Skåne. It was aroound 3km and it took us about half an hour. When we got to the top a bus driver slowed down, looked at us through his glas door and smiled.

hur går det för er? Överlever era stackars "benmuskler"?

(How are you guys? Does your poor "leg muscles" survive?)

We think that our muscles are doing pretty fine, but we must admit that they do hurt - quite a bit. New muscles have however become sort of a hobby. Every evening we lye down and poke our sore, but freshly made muscles.

Nice bag dude! what happened to the old German one? did it die after half a century or what?

The "Made in Wester Germany" bag is still alive. It was just Sammy who bought one. I've still got mine.

Men tänker ni undanhålla oss de andra problemen så som ont i häcken, trötta ben, krokiga tältpinnar, blöta skor och ännu blötrare telefon som givit upp?

(But are you going to withhold the other problems, such as, pain in the ass, tired legs, crooked pegs, wet shoes and the wet phone that has given up?)

Yeah, Sammy's front bag wasn't exactly rain proof. His mobile is kind of... out of order, so to speak. We are working on a solution. My HTC will do for a while, but unfortunately it suffers from acute amnesia.

Keep posting your questions and comments and we will try our best to answer them.

Thanks Eva

Me and Sammy would really like to thank Eva for letting us stay at her place during one night in Hoka, Asarum, Karlshamn.

We arrived very late at night after some navigation problems. We litterally ended up in the woods and we didnt know how to find our way out from there. Sammy said he felt like one of the hunters from Animal Planet, rushing through the jungle to find lions or tigers. All we found, however, were toads and mosquitos.

When we were just about to give up, in the rain with dying cell phones, Eva showed up in the dark. We rushed forward and hugged her. Later, she told us that it had felt like one of those reality shows where the contestants finally reaches their goal and falls down crying on the ground. I don't know if that was how we looked like, but that was surely how it felt like.

(When we find a better computer we'll post some pictures)
