A weekend in the archipelago


Do you wonder how to say an island in swedish ? Well maybe not but I will tell you anyway :
" ö " wich is prononced "eu" like in "beurre"

An hour by boat from Stockholm there is an island called Vaxholm where we all went campimg for the weekend (my parents, David and me).
We did some canoe the first day (2 persons per boat) and kayak the next (one person per boat). My job on the canoe was almost exclusivelyt give the direction because (as anyone that went kayaking with David before knows) he can never go straight and zizags all the way if left by himself...

And at night we got to eat in a typical swedish restaurant (we tasted herring and salmon and did not regret it)
If Elsa or Gabriel reads this, you have to know that David said it was almost as good as the chinese restaurant in Lausanne ...

And we left my parents for the rest of their trip at that point and came back by boat to Sockholm (which allowed a quite dramatic goodbye with a lot of waving involved)

The picture is of a gas station for boat, I will have better pictures from my dad later on...
