We continue to see parts of the archipelago, the thousands of very small islands that are all around Sweden. Today is our last Swedish stop, in Karlskrona.
The Swedish Navy has been located at Karlskrona since 1680. We saw several small military boats in the water around the port. Pictures are not allowed to be taken of the military buildings.
There are three churches in the old town area. There is a Catholic church, German Protestant and Fredrikskyrkan where the choir was practicing. The square is the largest in Scandinavia. We met Bailey the dog, he was prepared for the rain with his little yellow slicker.
The Marinmuseum, a maritime museum on the island next to Karlskrona is very well done. It explains the history of the Swedish Navy and the progress of ships from the early 1600s to present day. The submarine called the Neptun is on display and open to explore.
Outside of the museum these crazy Swedes were going to platform dive. We think they chickened out.
