Nov 13 “Lund City Park”
We live on a street called Nygaten, in Lund. At one end of our street is this amazing park. We love to take walks in it. It has many pathways, play areas, big duck pond, a bird Avery, and a huge sports center. It also has an observatory (it is not open in the winter) we still have not gone completely around the whole park yet.
This "Artwork" was carved from a tree that was here. It was very well done with lots of detals.
The pathways in the park are just beautiful. Later on in the blog you will see this same spot in the winter!!
There are tons of apartments in Lund. This one is next to the park.
If you click on the photo it will enlarge it.
This is the entrance to the park from where we live.
The blue car behind Neal is in front of our apartment. Our apartment is the one with the red roof. That is how close we are to the park. To the right of us is a cross street, that is the street we walk up to the center. It takes us 5 minutes.
In Sweden everyone WALKS or ride bikes. It has taken me awhile to figure it out but I know why they walk/bike so much. It is impossible to find parking and when you do they charge you for it. Plus gas in Sweden is $8.50 a gallon (they use liters, but Neal figured it out!!!) Plus everything you need is so close or you can take a bus. Their bus and train systems are incredible. Plus they love to walk for exercise.
Here is one of many bike “parking lots”. Bikes have the right of way or so they think!! Better watch out or you will get run over! They have sidewalks that have ½ for bikes and ½ for pedestrians. Better not walk in the bike part!! We know from experience.
The Central Station is the lit up building in back of the bikes.
The Grand Hotel
On the other end of our street is the Torg (Tory) with the Grand Hotel in it. It is a beautiful Hotel. We love this area. Across from the Torg are cute stores and down ½ block is the Central Train Station!! We walk this way almost every day. Neal is in hog heaven. We have been on the trains a lot. (You can buy a train/bus pass and have unlimited use of the trains and busses!!) I think they lost money on us!!
