leap in time

I didn't find a lot of time recently for blogging so one could say my blog is out of date. This is especially - unbelievable - true for one particular post that should have been written months ago. It's about the visit of my Mum and her friend Irene to Lund. While I was busy in Lund I did not really find time for a while afterwards folled a time where I did not want to write a shitty short entry and finally I felt the post being out of date. My Mum (understandably..) got angry about those kind of ignorance so here - finally - is the report(prepare for a leap in time now!):

My Mum arrived with Irene on Friday night in Lund which was a bit of a hazard since they lived in a bed&breakfast accommodation with an older woman(who stressed a lot!). She was also shocked when we decided to go for a drink at around 23h what we finally did. It was surprisingly hard to find a place to go in Lund on a Friday night without ending up at a nation :)

Saturday: We start the big Lund round tour, visiting all major attractions including the Dome, the university, all outdoor-shops and the whole inner city with it's beautiful buildings. Luckily we have nice weather! In the evening we all have been very tired, so we went to an Indian restaurant to get some excellent food and joined our bed right afterwards.

Since we had only this weekend we got up early and explored the major attractions in Skane.

The lovely city of Ystad where police officer Wallander from the books of Henning Mankell works.
After a walk through Ystad we continued along the coast to "Ales Stenar" a nice spot directly on the coast with big stones that form the silhouette of a viking ship.

Our last stop was the small national park Stenshuvud on the east coast with it's lovely sandy coast. Unfortunately it got windy here and we did not have much time left since my Mum booked a hotel in Copenhagen for this night. So there was not much more left than driving home and showing them our lovely mental hospital :)

On Monday we meet once more for our last day together which we spent walking around Copenhagen. Unfortunately I haven't brought my camera that day. On Tuesday my Mum and Irene left again back to Austria. We had a couple of really nice days together!
