Though we do take the bus to far-off points here in Lund, most of the time we walk. As I have mentioned previously, there is a large number of bicycles cruising these cobblestoned streets. Though sidewalks and paths are marked for both pedestrian and bike use, you really have to watch your step.
We went to a supermarket on the edge of the city last night that we'd heard was the most affordable around. We did some online research and found the bus line that would take us, packing our IKEA and Änglamark shopping totes, up there. We stepped off at what we thought was the right stop and wandered about for a bit without finding the place, and went into a Statoil station to ask for directions.
(In Swedish)Jacob: Hi. Is there a Willy's supermarket around here?
Clerk: A what?
J: A Willy's.
C: Oh, a "Villys"! Yeah. It's to the left and way down there.
J: I guess we didn't walk far enough.
C: Exactly!
So, yeah, we hoofed it on past three more bus stops and found it. And it's open 7 days to 22! It was big and comparatively cheap. We hauled our booty (incl. a Kinder Egg!!) to the stop right across the street to get home.
Today, we walked peacefully... protected by the mob. No, really... a large group of people. I got to tag along with E's class on a walking tour of central Lund. A high point (and really kind of the only one) of the tour was Lund's Domkyrka.
We got to see the giant astronomical clock play its 3 o'clock show, and went down into the underground crypt. For some images, check the albums!
On the way home we picked up potatoes:
This was a pre-packaged-grocery-store ice cream cone by GB with bits and a coating of black licorice!!
