While discussing the trip on our train ride to Sweden we realized that we have managed to be in 3 countries within 24 hours. We have jumped from Norway to Denmark and to Sweden in this small timeframe.
We took the ferry over to Norway on Monday (which is more like a mini cruise) and spent a day wandering around in Oslo. We visited the Royal palace where we watched the very formal changing of the guards, and we made our way to the Vigeland Park (sculpture gardens). The sights were magnificent and beautiful. There were so many statues lining the bridge and then a tower in the middle of the garden. It was a huge beautiful area that most of us got to wander around at. We finished our tour of Oslo just by wandering the streets and taking in observations of the people.
Then we hopped back on the boat and we're off to Denmark. During this bout in Denmark we visited the aquarium. We got to see the beautiful exhibits and the playful sea otters.
We then hopped on a train to Sweden. There were not very many "tourist" attractions that we could visit so we decided to just wander in the city of Malmö. We came across fun coffee shops and good restaurants. We were trying to figure out our map and which direction we wanted to go and a very friendly man asked us if we needed help finding something. This has been the first time someone has came up to us and offered to help us. This experience made Sweden feel more like home with the more approachable and talkative people. When looking around all of the people in Sweden felt very relaxed and genuine. We then wandered through beautiful parks and made our way to the beach on the Baltic Sea. Sweden in my opinion has felt the most relaxed of the countries we have been in. Each place has a different feel while also still feeling the same. It is hard to put words to explain but each has been a great place to visit. 😊
