You thought that ONLY Australia did big things?!?! Think again. This BRIO man was spotted on our way towards Kalmar
So you like history?
This place has some history.
The castle's ancestry stretches back to the 1100s. It was here Kalmar Union (Denmark, Sweden and Norway got united under one king, which Sweden then left as they were upset that Denmark was being too bossy) was signed in 1397 and during the Vasa kings time in the 1500s the castle got its current look.

No trip of ours would ever be complete without a trip to a cemetery. The one near the castle was stunning
