Scene 29

Image 0319.. 'Strandbadens Menu' just visible behind window top right-of-centre. Yellow din-X sign reflected in middle pane. Anna working behind counter.

Image 0319a. Right place but completely different internal layout. You can no longer be served through these windows.

Image 0320. Anna's view.

Image 0320a. Now obliterated by different layout.

Image 0323. Anna brings Kurt a drink at the seating area outside. This is adjacent to the road junction with Södra Strandbadsvägen (indicated by signpost, centre right), which is the road to Löderups Strandbad.

Image 0323a. The view here hasn't changed much (but the weather was as different as could be on the day of this visit).

Image 0327. Kurt takes up Anna's offer of somewhere to sleep.

Image 0327a. A little change to the decor.

MY VISIT: 30/06/2017

Whilst visiting Location 4.3.23 I was able to revisit this location from Season 1. Sadly it has now closed down and looks to be in a very sorry state.
