| Öland
www.olandsturist.se You have to visit the island Öland. A very beautiful island and very nice people. My favorite place is called Mellösa (in the middle of the Island, close to Borgholm city). There you will find a place called Kastanjegården, you can stay overnight and eat "Kroppkakor". Lovely!
