It was great to be able to go around freely and at our own pace. Malmo has a great infrastructure for biking in place, and it is really easy to go around. For the small one (6 yrs) we choose to get a cargostyle bike, which worked out really well.

Linnaeus studied the different kinds of plants, and what it is used for. He also named each plant so others will know how to take care and use the plant for what it's purpose is for being there. It is walking distance to my Uncles house.

We did the Uppsala tour today. This guide, Magnus, has a great knowledge of the geography and history of the area. As we began the tour he asked if we had any special requests, and he adapted the tour to our wishes. We visited cathedrals, the Uppsala University, and other interesting sites including an outstanding Swedish pastry and coffee shop. Magnus knows his history well, and answered some specific questions I had about Swedish/Finnish relations. We both recommend this tour as among the very best we’ve ever taken.
