Well yesterday we flew in early from Tallinn to Stockholm where we picked up a rental car and drove south about 5 hours to Kalmar Sweden. We drove in to quite a rain storm in Kalmar. We checked in our hotel and had about an hour before the museums closed so we stopped by the Kronan ship museum. It was another warship from 1636 that exploded and sank during battle and they recoverd several artifiacts from the ship, it was really interesting as they are still exploring the site and finding things to add to the museum. That evening we wandered around the town in the rain under umbrellas and found dinner.
Today we toured the Kalmar Castle which is a true medieval castle with moat and all. Most of the rooms were empty but the tour guides make it interesting with tales of the kings who live there.
We then got back in the car and drove further south in
Sweden and west to Denmark. We got to cross the new bridge that links sweden and Denmark. It expanded over the ocean linking the 2 countries. Another 6 hour drive and we arrived tonight in Kolding Denmark. Tomorrow we head up to Arhus Denmark about another hour north to see a famous modern art museum, another folk air musuem and if we have time... Legoland! It's free after 7pm so we may check it out for dinnner.
Until tomorrow!
