The Naval museum was interesting and so much bigger than I had imagined. The short guided tour was interesting. Unfortunately the weather was not on the cold side, so doing the boat tours was not so enjoyable as it could have beeen. Good choice of shops in the city. Pedestsrian streets are always good.

Karlskrona was a wonderful surprise for us as we were just stopping over on our way to another destination. We had some extra time, so we visited the Maritime Museum which is excellent and a must-see experience.

I stayed in Karlskrona one night to help my son get started at his new school. I will visit Karlskorna again and that time a bit longer. It will be in the spring or in the summer when I imagine Karlskrona is more pleasant to visit.

Beautiful old city. But the county (kommun) seems not to deeply understand what it means to have a city that is a UNESCO world heritage site. They insist on modern but ugly buildings and asphalt parking lots everywhere. A friend of mine describes it as "technocracy". Those who decide have in mind to facilitate their own work and lower costs, it is easier to maintain a paved parking lot than a garden or a path with flowers around it. It is more profitable to have parking lots than green areas and parks. A land is more profitable than caring for a rocky area. And this is done by taking over small community projects and even the municipal plan itself. A sadness. It will all end in a couple of pompous buildings and lots of parking lots and private buildings with balconies. A shame simply because the asphalt does not have to be cared for and the gardens do. State laziness. It is easier and cheaper to maintain asphalt than a garden. ...Its very windy, good and warm clothes! :)

Karlskrona is a small town, located by the sea. Wonderful views, beautiful nature and kind people. Nice restaurants, especially Antonios, Mont Martre and Elsas lilla krog. Also good food at Arts thai but no alcoholic drinks there. Very nice food. Go by boat to Nättraby, and visit a small medieval church at the last stop. Go to Aspö by ferry without any costs. Go swimming and visit "Kastellet".
