Good nights sleep and a very good breakfast at The Grand. Then spent the morning and some of the afternoon visiting the National Museum in Copenhagen. Saw the most interesting and very provoking exhibition White Busses. Saw a couple of clocks, One made in Copenhagen looked very sad with a very badly bent hour hand. Also noticed in a typical Copenhagen merchants room in the museum a clock which I would have called a dutch clock, so borders were well and truly broken, puts some preconceptions of scale and nationality into or perhaps out of kilter..
The grand hotel had been looking after our cases and we then took the train to Malmo. getting a ticket was a bit fraught as the ticket credit card system were broken and we had to pay in cash but they were able to accept euros. the journey to Malmo was a bout 40 mins and very good. The trip from the station to our air B and B was a bit lengthy due to the directions being a bit inadequate.
A quick foray to a grocery shop to stock up and then I attended a very interesting meeting of the Malmo clock and watch collectors club it was very good and I was able to look at a very attractive wood wheeled clock, which has the alarm mechanism made form box wood a wood that is not found in Sweden. interesting . The clock was made in 1780 ish.
