On Tuesday morning, we picked up our tour bus and drove from Stockholm to Kalmar in the southern part of Sweden. Kalmar was the site of the signing of the 1397 treaty which united Sweden, Denmark and Norway for a brief period.
Our group dinner was at Kållaren Kronan, a romantic candle-lit restaurant in a converted wine cellar which, ironically, never actually stored any wine except for what is on the current wine list. It was very authentic, however, with brick ceilings, walls and arches throughout the interior.
On Wednesday we toured Kalmar Castle. Although built in medieval times, the interior was decorated in the Renaissance style by King Gustav Vasa in the early to mid 1500's.
