Malmo, Kalmar & Våxjo

Thursday thru Sunday were the Midsummer's break. Thursday we went to Vaxjo... for a lil shopping spree but unfortunately i didnt like anything besides the beautiful scenery during our hour long drive... We had dinner at Nivo with birthday boy Bob, Emily, her hubby, Kok Poh. It was a nice evening, they were having a flea market in Centrum and the place was packed. We had no prior reservations at Nivo but were lucky enough to get ourselves a cozy corner where we could see the bypassers and the band playing. it was a nice cool eve and the food was great too!

Friday we had decided to go to Kalmar but our friend informed us that most shops were closed so we changed our plans and stayed in town instead...drove around Karlskrona, did grocery shopping at the new City Gross utlet. went to the Lango beach in the evening spent some quality time with hubby


Saturday we drove to Malmo...two and a half hours away..Alvin wanted to buy a remote control car...those that run n gas. He had enquired if the shops will be open during the break and was told they will be... our disappointemnt started when we reached...it was a dead town... no shops, no eatery nothing was open. So we made the most out of it and visited the parks in Malmo and the St Petri's Church Lilla torg etc... Finally got Macdonalds before we drove out of Malmo. We stopped by at Eko, somesort of a super mart like NTUc back home... i was so happy i found the scrabble board game butwhen i got home and tore open the packaging i realised it was the swedish version...which didnt have a "W" but å, ä, ö instead... But we will play sumhow ;)

Sunday we spent driving around town, flying model planes. It was fun... overall i had a great time these 4 days and good quality time with Alvin... to me thats what matters
