We stopped over in the beautiful city of Kalmar on the southeast swedish coast. The old town (actually the "new" old town is beautiful, and overshadowed by a moated castle. It was an important sea port during the 17th century and played a key role in that centuries' Sweden-Denmark wars. It also has the island of Oland, a world heritage site, just offshore. We did not get a chance to visit that place (no time!).
Our day was spent seeing the sights, so this diary will mostly show pictures. We had a nice day, but also a bit slow, as we were in a bit of a holding pattern waiting for the ferry to Gotland. The highlights were an evening stroll through the castle grounds, a morning run, a trip to the museum, and a bit of impromptu natural "art."
