Travelling to Malmö, Sweden

Friday September 15, 2017

As we had to transfer to the flight for Copenhagen we needed to hurry, because we only had 10 minutes before boarding.  However, we quickly found out that our next flight was delayed by an hour, so we had time for a cup of cappuccino and a bit of a rest.  

The short flight from Amsterdam to Copenhagen was quite uneventful, but as it was not a high altitude flight and the sky wasn’t very overcast I could see a lot, because we had been allocated a window seat.

Soon we landed in Copenhagen where Dianne, Patricia’s daughter, was waiting for us.  We re-loaded the luggage and were soon crossing the bridge from Denmark to Sweden.

As Dianne lives in  Malmö, and very close to the bridge, we were home in no time.  

See the yellow straps on Patricia's suitcase?  They were put there to show that the case had been opened by customs.  A letter with explanation was enclosed.  Patricia had not realised that she had packed her powerbank with lithium battery in her suitcase.  It was detected by the Xray machine and removed, because they are considered dangerous goods.  You're only allowed to take them in your hand bagage.  That was an expensive lesson, because she could only claim it back within 7 days within China!

We took our time settling in and having lunch and soon it was dinner time.  Dianne’s two sons came to see her as well as a few friends, because it had been Dianne’s birthday the day before. We spent the night chatting and playing a few games of Sequence.  Four people knew how to play, four people were new to the game.  The newbies won!

That's how you do it!

Couldn't decide on which picture...

Playing Sequence - No, I am not looking bored! I am just a darn serious player! :-)
