One of the things listed in tour guides to do in Lund is to visit the botanical gardens. I made a point of taking a walk over to the gardens to check it out and regretted my decision about 6 minutes after arriving.
It is 20 acres housing about 7000 different types of plants...all of which are trying to have sex by spewing forth clouds of pollen. For someone with allergies going to the botanical garden in June was about as smart as going to the local animal shelter and rubbing my face on the cats for an hour.
I left the gardens and walked up wind for a bit. Not having any antihistamines with me I sought out the next best thing, beer. It isn't as immediately effective, but after enough it gets the job done anyway.
I started my day wanting to see the sights of Lund and ended up drinking beer by myself with tears streaming out of my itchy eyes. Next time I guess I'll start with beer in the morning.
