Vaxholm is gorgeous!

We got up early this morning to get to the docks at 9 am to catch a ferry to Vaxholm, one of the islands in the archipelago. The view on the ride there was gorgeous from the upper deck of the ferry, as expected. It took us about 45 minutes to get out to the island.

On board! Tickets cost less for 19 and under!

Nice houses on islands we pass

Um. Pilot's licence please?

  Vaxholm is much less crowded than Stockholm proper. The town is on the small side, but it definitely is set up to receive a number of tourists throughout the year. A woman at the tourist office helped us set up our visit and pointed out some excellent hiking trails for us to check out. We spent all day walking around and taking pictures every 10 feet.

Old military fort which costs 50 SEK to get to and 50 SEK to go in. Yeah… not going there.

Pretty!

Can't take a bad picture here.

After a while we crossed the bridge to the next island to do some more hiking. We found it very funny that the blue spots marking the trail had several variations. We decided some of the spots must be for Twister: Forest edition.

Kristina is cheating!

Look out behind you!

Last day in Stockholm tomorrow! Wrapping up everything we want to do & making the most of it!
