 It was a very cheerful, fun and sunny day in Lund where 2800 participants joined the Lundaloppet with start at Nygatan close to Stadsparken, through the nice streets of Lund, via Lundagård (water provided there ) passed Stortorget, Lilla Fiskaregatan, Blå banken and with FINISH at Idrottsplatsen (Bollhuset).
Many thanks to Lund University who sponsored the ESSS team among all other teams witihn LU (around 160 participants).
Lund University also had a welcoming tent with baguettes, water & fruit, handed out by Susanne and Liselott from the Service department.
On top of this - I was the lucky winner to a voucher 6000:- at the store Team Sportia, so now I can allow myself to be even more sporty.
What a day!

Today was a lovely day for a walk on the Lomma beach near Lund. You could really anticipate summer in the fresh Scandinavian air. Some high-spirited person took a bath in the water! Another one was fishing. A selection of photos from the spring in Lund can be seen in our new picture gallery here: ESS Scandinavia Picture Gallery

 Lund is an ambitious city when it comes to the development, renewal and expansion of its cultural life. The “city of ideas” have produced both a cultural strategy for the city authorities to use as a guide for improving cultural activities in a municipality which has already been voted for being the best place to live in Sweden(!). Lund has also produced a monumental “bid” as the application in the competition for becoming European Capital of Culture 2014. The city has invested a lot in this complex development work, started in 2000.
Out of four Swedish cities - Gävle, Lund, Umeå and Uppsala - the selection panel have now appointed Lund and Umeå to the final round. The jury is composed of six Swedish jurors and seven from the rest of Europe. The application should function as working material and inspiration for the more in-depth work which will begin in January 2009, if Lund goes on to the next stage in the selection process. That is when the fundamental and strategic guiding principles that have been set out will begin to be turned into concrete projects and programmes. |
