Bexi is taking off tomorrow afternoon but what we saw during dinner was really special. A microlight was flying over Vaxholm, no excitement so far you say. But it had an inflatable dinghy strapped underneath and could land on the water! Absolutely fu***ing fantastic.
We went to the “Kaffeekuchenhaus” in Vaxholm earlier this afternoon and had a teeny-weeny sweetie. Here the full set of Törtchen we ordered – yumm!

After a couple of not-so-nice days we are having a wonderful evening on Akka. The sun has come out again and we are sitting on deck watching the sunset and listening to a live performer from the marina bar singing nice cover versions of some classics pop songs. Life is good!…

There were about 200+ people gathered round the Midsommarstång, joining all in with the singing and dancing. From babies to…
