Kalmar and Moose 31/8 1/9

Lunch was a very nice village that had been a spa with choices of mud, pine needle and water. Not sure how much fun a pine needle one would be.

We spent the night in Kalmar and walked around the castle.

 There have been defences there since 1180.

I like the tents in front looks like jousting might be due to start. In fact it was a music concert that went on till 2am, fortunately far enough away that it didnt really bother us.

I love the caretakers house.

We had a walk through the  town which had a lot of pedestrian only streets and some grand old buildings.

There was a gathering of old american cars, we have seen this a lot in Scandinavia, a passion for old USA Cars.

People were even sitting in chairs watching them go by.  Mostly driven by older men with all the passengers drinking. Lots of beards and tattoos.

The town has a lovely beach with a jetty that takes you out to the deep water for swimming.




Driving today we passed a ski race... with no snow, they only use their arms.

Today we headed to a moose safari, we sat in a trailer towed by an old tractor and for an hour fed and patted the moose.

last years babies one is silver with blue eyes.

the owner enticing them over with silver birch twigs

a nice way to cool off

and then they had a large bbq where you could cook the moose sausages and moose burger that they sold you....
