Landskrona och Helsingborg

I was hoping to get some relaxing hiking in on Sunday. There was a tour organized by the school so I met up to go with Alexandra. Once the guide finally showed up at the train station, he told us it would be a 30km hike--which is not at all what I had in mind for a relaxing Sunday. We decided to start off with the group and take the train north to Landskrona. There is not much to say about or to see in Landskrona except the citadel.

But I did find this very strange statue...

We decided not to continue with the group and somehow found our way back to the Landskrona station. We weren't exactly sure how to get back so we stopped an older lady on the street and asked her if she spoke English. She didn't so I used my broken Swedish to ask about the train station and so we stood on the corner for a minute both gesticulating trying to tell each other what we meant.

So we hopped on another train and arrived in Helsingborg and were able to salvage our Sunday. Alex and I found the remains of a castle (built in the 1300's and fought over for years between the Danish and Swedish kings) and even had time to stop for a varm choklad by the yacht club before making our way back home.
