Our pal Christian picked us up at the airport and drove us into Copenhagen’s sister city of Malmo, Sweden, his hometown. To get there, you cross the famous bridge between the two cities, the one made famous by the Swedish crime drama “The Bridge.”
We first went directly to the AMAZING sauna, Ribersborgs Kallbadhus. Built in 1898, the sauna is built over the ocean and is accessible by a 500-foot pier from the beach. After sweating in the 90c wood-fired sauna for a while, you walk outside and plunge directly into the icy cold Baltic Sea. Twas the perfect post-flight experience.
Afterward, we had high-tea at the Michelin rated Boom in the Park. Beautiful scones with clotted cream, lemon curd and berry jam, a stunning lobster bisque and their fancy take on the traditional Danish Smørrebrød, an open-faced sandwich. Theirs were coriander, beef tartar, beet, and foie gras/mushroom.
Twas a very nice experience, and Christian’s first high-tea experience.
