You know how it can be with postcards. Nothing for days. Then they all come at once.
So here’s one from Malmö, our first Swedish port of call. We wish we’d stayed longer. More later but let’s have this postcard set the scene:
Malmö was where we spent a happy morning with Ann-Christine, who blogs as Leya, and is a key member of the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge team. More photos later!
Now we’re in Gothenburg. Only we weren’t. Our city travel pass allows us not only on buses, trams and trains, but to jump on the ferries plying between the many islands that scatter the coastal area. So we toured the southern archipelago, visiting 3 small islands, including Vrångö and its nature reserve. Photos now. Stories later.
Rain tomorrow? Probably. Never mind.
From Pyrenees to Pennines 
How wonderful that you were able to meet🙂

Lovely shot of Malmö! Bringing back happy holiday memories for me, not least of our eccentric B&B host with her two parrots one of whom liked to settle on her head.

Oh! I’m afraid our hotel was delightfully uneccentric.

I’ve just read Ann-Christine’s account of your meeting, with a great photo of the two of you! You’re clearly having a good time and I was about to comment on the lovely blue skies too, until I saw your mention of rain tomorrow. Hope it doesn’t mess with your plans too much.

What a wonderful way to travel! The archipelago looks absolutely beautiful, and I love how your travel pass turns the ferries into part of the adventure rather than just transportation. The photos capture such a peaceful, unhurried atmosphere. How special, too, to meet a fellow blogger in Malmö after knowing each other online. Looking forward to seeing more photos and hearing the stories behind them. Safe travels and may the rain continue to cooperate!

We visited Malmö and Göteborg (where my son studied) two years ago. I absolutely loved both cities and would love to go back. Thanks for the reminder.

My son had put Malmö first but in the end, I think Göteborg was the better option, more to do for students.

It is a special experience to meet up. Ann-c couldn’t make it when I was last over that way so I’m really glad you met. You will now have a stronger connection. So far I have met 6 of my blogger friends- all wonderful experiences.
