Loving it in Lund


It was quite exciting to visit Lund where Sarah / Constance was at uni for a year. It's a cool place. You're more likely to make way for troupes of pushbikers than for cars as you amble down the middle of the cobbled streets. It's a real university town, full of academia - students gathered in crowds in full O week costumes to professors in leather elbowed cardis on vintage bikes. 
We met up with Tornjiorn ('Swedish John', so named for the rambling nature if his house and gardens), at his stall at the markets. He is an organic vege farmer whom Constance worked/woofed for while at uni. He is really lovely.


Very cool astrological clock in the Lund Cathedral, made before Columbus' time.

The lovely Grand Hotel, $1500 a night, where  we didnt stay... but had a delicious breakfast


Cool bar where we reminisced student days and dreamed 'what ifs'...we had studied here? What would we be now? Etcetera. Tried to viber Constance to share the moment but she was hard at work! Not like the council days when she was quick to answer her phone.


Botanical gardens were themed, medicinal plants, etc, all transferred from ancient gardens. Great bramble patch with burstingly ripe blackberries.
