I think lufsa tastes like dog food. Anyone who doesn’t like kroppkakor isn’t using enough lingon berry. I think lufsa tastes like dog food.

Look it up on google and try it next time you're on Öland or make it yourself! You won't regret it! Bacon is one of the ingredients! How can you go wrong?!

It's not a real tradition, it's just amde up by the tourism board. Mostly people just get very drunk and drive around in the middle of the night looking at art. Not a good combination. Believe me it's not fun. At all. About the beaches, what do you mean "quite okay"? Most of the beaches (and there are a lot, and I'd say 95% of them are sand beaches) are very beautiful and unique. Take Byerum for example. A stunning view of the island and national park Blå junfrun (btw a great travel destination, definitally go there!) and the cool rock formations called "raukar". Stunning views. Take Böda sand, very long sandy beach. What's not to love? They're as good as the beaches in Spain or whatever. The only problem with going to beaches in Sweden is that most of the time the water is too cold. Other than that, I'm very glad that you're writing about my native island and I'm glad you like it.

LOL! Cornelis, you are absolutely right! Actually, that was the reason we went to Öland back then - my hosts were serious birdwatchers. Ann, I LOVE the Kalmar castle!!! The whole town is just lovely! :) John,
