Malmö/Ystad
We headed to the station for our trip to Ystad, a town about an hour away on the coast. On the way we checked out the "Knotted Gun" statue and stopped for a flat white, our quest for a decent coffee is never ending and this time it wasn't too bad.
Arriving in Ystad we found the station was right next to the water, but instead of nice cafes and places to enjoy the view (as we'd hoped), it was just a working port which supported ferries to Poland, amongst other places, seemed like a wasted opportunity to us, especially in this weather.
We visited the tourist information centre to find out how we could get to Ales Stenar, a stone circle that was around 1400 years old, but we were told that Sunday buses no longer ran, so we had to settle for walking the streets of Ystad.
Ystad is a very quaint, pretty town with cute, well preserved brightly painted buildings. As it was Sunday many of the shops were closed, but there was enough open to keep us occupied for a couple of hours, before heading back to Malmö where the festival was in full swing on this 30 degree day.
