After an important family meeting, our return ferry from Stockholm to Latvia was booked and we knew that we had just 4 days to go. The boys were excited, tired from a long trip, and ready to get home. Now, although our list of places to visit in southern Sweden was short, Sweden is much, much, much bigger than Denmark so these few stops had great distances between them. In just four days, we would have to travel about 950 kilometers. It would be a long few days in the car to wrap up this voyage. The stops, however, gave us a better perspective on southern Sweden, a region that we haven't had a chance to explore yet. We visited the historic university town of Lund, then the busy, historic port of Ystad. The following day, we took a detour through the Glasriket, the Glass Kingdom, Sweden's historic glass blowing region. After that, it was grand Kalmar, access town to the long, rustic, windmill-covered (there are more than 400 of them) island of Oland. Following that, it was back to familiar Stockholm for our favorite vegan buffet at Hermann's and some ice cream before heading to the ferry at Nynashamn. And, so ended our 7500 kilometer journey around the Baltic Sea. Back to work soon...
