October 29, 2011: Train to Malmö. From the station is it a few minutes walk to Luftkastellet in Slagthuset. At the entrance is an apple tree, an artificial tree strung with apples. pay the entry fee, 150 SEK, leaving the coat in the closet, and buying wine tasting coupons (5 pc) and a glass for 70 SEK. If you return the glass one get 30 SEK back.

I give no reviews of tasting of the products from exhibitors visited, but sometimes with a comment. It was impossible to visit all exhibitors, so they were selected in part by the interest and part by impulse.

Lunch was eaten in the fair's restaurant, chose a fish soup with a glass of white wine Dragunera Grillo (Sicily).

It is more serious than it may sound, many of the world lacks a toilet of good sanitary standards, read more on http://www.worldtoilet.org/.
