Trip to Copenhagan and Malmo, Sweden

I went to Copenhagan and then drove to Malmo, Sweden on 1st March and stayed tilled 9th March. Though it was a short trip, I had enjoyed myself alot. I love the nature and the peaceful surrounding in Malmo. Lots of land and I could see the animals like deer and wild boars. It was a great break away from the noisy city.

I stayed in the cottage and I love the stove. It kept the cottage warm and cosy. I remembered watching the stars in at night. I felt like I'm watching lots of diamonds glittering in the sky.

It's a great experience and very fortunate being able to visit places where only the locals go.
