9/1 Skanor Sweden

 Skanor is a cute little town with a marina that is very touristy.

The first thing I noticed were these boat houses - actually changing rooms along the beach.  But we were far away.

The actual area where there was parking looked more like this with lots of buildings in this dark red color. We stopped for a snack at the building to the far left.  We all got savory standwiches.

Then we walked around the area.

There is a small marina.

A hotel with restaurant with wonderfully reflective windows.

A beach with this little colorful building.

Back to the marina.

We stopped for actual fica later - with a sweet and a drink.

9/1 Falesbo Lighthouse

 Today Rob was busy so it was Alexis and us driving along the coast.  We went to Falesbo Lighthouse a ways away.  

The walk to the lighthouse is through the golf coarse.  There were signs with warnings - if someone yells "Fore"  you need to duck!  

Golfers  playing.

Looking back at the lighthouse.

I walked to the back of the lighthouse area thinking I would be close to the water - no - so far away.  But a better view.

Then we headed toward the water and the wildlife area.

There were many of these plants along the way.  They are Rugosa Roses which originated in Eastern Asia. 

There were so many people coming and going from this area.  It turned these are birders.  They were all men.  All facing different directions - all with strong binoculars and perhaps cameras.  

I am more of a landscape person myself.

I took a photo of the wildlife in the distance thinking it was seals - but no - it was birds.

This area is actually a seal sanctuary from February 1 until October 31.  You can only walk on this beach in November December and January.  

Walking back to the car through the golf course.  

8/31 Malmo Old Town

 We headed into Malmo Old Town.  The first three photos are still in the park.

Alexis wanted to show us this deer statue.

Heading into Old Town.

Lovely street views.

Then into the main square - Stortoget historic market place.  There were many restaurants at the corner where we entered.

The Apoteket Lejonet.  Alexis has purchased pharmacy products here.  See below for photos of the inside.

A statue of King Charles X Gustav a 17th century king.

Teh Apoteket Lejonet still has original advertisements from long ago painted on the side of the building.

The inside has been restored.

Loved the corner mirror - a modern touch.

More buildings around the square.
