Day 6: June 1, 2019
After an early start we drove on the Øresund bridge that connected Scandinavia to the continental Europe for the first time since the Ice Age 10.000 years ago... (https://www.oresundsbron.com/en/node/6738). We were on the lookout for a good picture of the Turning Torso, 646 feet tall tower, tallest skyscraper in Scandinavia while passing through Malmö, third largest city in Sweden. Since Øresund bridge was finished, many Copenhageners have moved to cheaper Sweden, and they commute back to work. Countryside lovers finally got their fill, as we were driving through the plains of Scania province or Skane, and later Småland. In small town of Granna we stopped for lunch. Everyone was tired of a delicious, well presented food and wanted something a regular Joe would eat, so we stopped in local pizzeria/burger joint, for some Swedish pizza. What makes it Swedish? You can buy it in Sweden. It also has a thinner crust and some "different" toppings, including banana and kebab, not necessarily separate. To pad up the calories count we visited the Polkagris shop/kitchen, where they produce peppermint rock candy Granna is famous for - except the tastes we were buying were more "adult-orientated".
Another three hour drive and we are finally in capital of Sweden, Stockholm. Very exiting things planned for tomorrow!
