Treacle in Ystad

Ystad, Sweden: Distance Travelled = 160,506 miles
Hello!
I'm now in the city where Wallander is filmed - Ystad. It's a really lovely place and there are definitely more things worth seeing here than just taking the tour and seeing where Kurt lives (in the programme, not in real life). There has been a settlement here since the 11th century, which is so cool! We also took a trip out to see the Ales Stenar, it's a really old stone circle in the shape of a ship and they think King Ale is buried here. No-one really knows how old it is, but carbon dating has given us a couple of dates, 600CE or 3500BCE. Confusing, but still awesome and very old! More soon.

Treacle in Smygehuk

Smygehuk, Sweden: Distance Travelled = 160,525 miles
Hello!
We've travelled to Smygehuk, which is the most the Southernmost point of Sweden. It's got a lovely shallow sandy headland and lots of pebble beaches. It was a lovely way to finish the trip. There is a statue of a lady wearing very few clothes looking out over the harbour. The lady that posed for it was the grandmother of the American actress Uma Thurman! I wasn't allowed to go and see the statue, too young. :) More soon.
