31/5/19 Kalmar to Karlskronar

81km  Total 366km

One of the hassles of travelling by bike is not having any other way to get around once you get to a place.  Yesterday we were pretty cold and weary when we got into Kalmar and staying several km out of the centre so never got round to having a look around the place.  We heard today that it's a pretty nice place.. So today, we caught a but into the centre of Karlskronar.  Topped off the day with a really nice meal in a fancy restaurant.
