Simrishamn

Every summer the southern Swedish public transport offers a summer card that allows you to travel anywhere in the southern region for two months at a really low price. This year we decided to check out the east coast and visit Simrishamn. We packed up some lunch and the family and headed out. Charlie hadn't been on an adventure in a while and he was ready to go.

The train ride was good. Charlie fits well and always makes friends. We hear comments like, "fint hund" and "stor hund" (nice dog and big dog). We are proud parents so we always smile and say thanks, while inside we are thinking, "yeah, he's the best." Other dogs are crazy. This little guy across the way was having a fit, which always confuses Charlie

 

The train station is very near the water. So a short walk had us on the coast. It's a cute little coastal town with this ingenious restaurant concept. All the tables were full. Maybe because it was pretty chilly and really windy. It's always nice to find shelter.

Charlie loves the water, and was dying to go swimming. He's scared to jump into water though, so we weren't worried.

 

 

 

He did get a chance to stick his paws in the Baltic.

 

The waterfront is set up well for walking and water watching, picnicking and such. There is also a nice path along the beach. The beach was beautiful, but there was only one person on it. It's funny to think that I live closer to the beach than I ever have, but it's so cold (even in July) that no one is on it.

 

After lunch and a long walk by the water, we made our way back through the streets of Simrishamn.
