2017-07-08, Vacation 2017, Day 5, Kalmar Part 1

The day after kissing with moose and visiting Eksjö, we packed up and hit the road towards Kalmar on the east coast of Sweden.

Karaktärshotellet (The Characters' Hotel) is, of course, referring to soem charaxcters from Astrid Lindgren's books

After driving most of the cloudy (and sometimes rainy) morning, we arrived at Kalmar Camping Rafshagsudden and set up camp.

After lunch, we drove into Kalmar to visit the castle, made famous by the signing of the treaty forming the union between Denmark, Sweden, and Norway (1397-1523).

On the way form the parking lot to the castle, we passed a park.
