Island Hopping in Sweden

Posted 6th May 2009 - Journey: 2005
Frösvik, Sweden: Distance Travelled = 36,150 miles

Evening,
Springis here, summer is on its way. I'm back from Thailand and once valborgsmässoafton is over there is only one thing to do in Sweden, especially in Stockholm and that is to go travelling round some of the islands. So my first island was Frösvik. I love the water being everywhere, I feel just like a sailor. It's brilliant! It's so beautiful and peaceful round here. Lovely. Another island very soon!
lots of love

Finnhamn, Sweden: Distance Travelled = 36,166 miles

Hello all,
I've come further out into the wonderful archipelago of Stockholm. This is the Lilla Jolpen on the island of Finnhamn. The weather has been wonderful and I'm really getting my sea legs. Everyday we have lunch outside, a simple hunk of bread and cheese. It's wonderful! I think I really love islands! Now, to find my boat again!
lots of love

Ahoy there me ship mates!
Ooh arrr, startin' to talk like a pirate, I've been out among the islands so long. I'm on the island of Ornö and loving every minute! You can see that I found my own lighthouse to live on and my very pirate ship to be captain of. Oooh arr indeed! Well, maybe not, but I am having lots of fun out here! Another island soon though, maybe a bigger one this time!
Take Care!

The Island of Gotland

Posted 28th May 2009 - Journey: 2005
Visby, Sweden: Distance Travelled = 36,295 miles

Morning all!
I've now made it down to the Island of Gotland. It's a really lovely place. Full of old interesting places. The town of Visby was amazing. There are nearly 100 medieval churches, there's a Viking village, Gotland is jam packed full of history including lots of old Arab dirham coins! It was really great fun and I'd like to go back, but for now it's time to leave the sea and go somewhere else in Sweden I think!
Another adventure very soon!
lots of love
