Klockhuset

We also made it to the clock museum on our trip. It's a really fun place! The man who started the museum bought his first clock in 1967 and he and his wife decided soon after that they would one day open a clock museum. And they did! They have about 800 clocks in the collection and it is so fun to see them all and hear a bit about some of them. The man who started the museum passed away last year, sadly. But his wife still gives the tour when you visit. Siegfried had a hard time keeping up, he was constantly stopping to look at cool clocks! But we were no better so.....

Höga kusten bro

We went and saw the big big bridge called the Höga kusten bro. It is located near Kramfors in Ångermanland. It was big! Siegfried felt very small next to it, but he managed his usual smile despite feeling rather inadequate :).

Afternoon tea

Siegfried had to put his fancy pants on, because today it was time for afternoon tea at the Station in Uppsala! He doesn't have pinkie fingers to hold up properly while drinking tea though, so he had it a bit easier than the rest of us :).

Carl Larsson gård

The other famous artist home we visited was Carl Larsson's house. He was also a famous Swedish artist and was actually good friends with Anders Zorn. His house was also very fun to see, very pretty! And even though it meant we couldn't see them, the kitchen and guest rooms are closed off to the public because the family still uses the house as a summer house. How cool is that? Siegfried enjoyed walking around the gardens as well. He was also glad that there were lots of colors in the house, just like him :).

Biggest Dalahäst

Siegfried couldn't ride this one. He was very disappointed :(. This one is in Avesta and is the largest Dala horse in the world. So we had to stop and see it!

Quaint cottage

The cottage we stayed in was so cute! It was quite old but had been very nicely fixed up and decorated. Siegfried was most impressed with it :).

Nusnäs

Since there were so many pretty horses in Dalarna, we decided to see where they were made. So off to Nusnäs we drove! Siegfried was very impressed with all the horses. And there so many he could ride on!
