Morning - tour of the Fortress of Karlsborg, constructed between 1819 and 1909.
In the afternoon we enjoyed a boat ride across Lake Vattern to Vadstena.
Vadstena boasts handmade lace, narrow streets and old frame buildings and is home to St. Birgitta's Church and Abbey. Pilgrims thronged to see the saint's relics during the town's great age of glory in the Middle Ages. King Gustav Vasa was a frequent visitor in the 16th century and built the magnificent Renaissance castle we toured.
