Vikings don't climb stairs and Swedish teenage boys make donuts in the middle of town

August 20, 2016 - Helsingborg, Sweden

No docks deep enough for our boat, so they ferried us from the boat into the town.  The town information center provided us with a little walking tour guide, so we followed that and had a very enjoyable time.  Primary point of interest was an old fortress, 367 steps to the top.  Janis and I were going to give it a try, but it cost $8/person to do it, so we used that as an excuse not to climb all the stairs.  We were about a block from the Main Street when we heard this roar and commotion along the Main Street, smoke billowing up.  It was 4 or 5 young guys in their souped up cars spinning their tires, doing donuts, etc.  No police ever showed up, so we figured things must be a little laid back here.  One elderly Swedish lady but us seemed to be indicating this wasn't the first time it had happened, and she didn't like it.  Beautiful day, interesting little town.
