Lucky Bastard Adventures: Ystad, Wallander Country Day 2

Today was chill out day, do the washing, little driving, sitting in the sun.

Went into Ystad, which is about 35k from here. By the way if you search for Hedmans Krog (which is a restaurant) in Google maps for Sweden, the B&B that is "here" is in a Old School house about 100-150 meters past the restaurant on the left as you are leaving the coast.

Ystad is the setting for the show Wallander and is nice little town with a big port that services ferries into Baltic destinations. The local cafe and tourist info centre have street guides to all the Wallander shooting locations, we looked at a couple and thought that is enough. We did find a place to do some washing, as stated in earlier posts, public laundrettes are a rarity in Scandinavia and you may need to travel 30-50 km to find one. Most of the Camping grounds seem to have one but they are usually not available unless you stay there. We found one at the Marina which I imagine is for the Yachties to use. There were boats from everywhere at the Marina, German, Italian, Scottish, French etc. I got adventurous and put a toe in the Baltic Sea, but I don't think I would want to have swim. A bit cold and full of weed.

Have not seen the Swedish Chef, I guess he must be out picking lingon berries.

Also, I did not bump into "Saga", from "the Bridge" in Malmo, but wanted to have a "where's Saga" T-shirt to walk around in. Apparently. the Bridge is very expensive to use, around 700 Sk to cross and back to Copenhagen, thats about $105. The local advice is drive slowly and enjoy the view to get your money's worth.

Arno, I found a System Borgalet grog shop in Ystad today and asked about Catalogues. I was told they were stopped 3 months ago and now everything is online.
