Vaxholm.. 10000th Picture taken today..

Took the bus 670 all the way to Vaxholm island.. one of the idyllic islands in the Stockholm archipelago..

The Vaxholm fortress.. unfortunately its closed now.. will be open in June.. it was built in the 16th century to fend off the Russians and the Danes from Stockholm..

We went to Battery Park.. posing on top of a disused bunker. This area, i tink, contains most of the island's defensive coastal batteries..

Along the way to the town center, we came by this shop that sells pretty nice handmade stuff..

When we went in, we found a note on the table that says that the shop owner is in the garden.. wow thats very trusting of her to jsut leave her shop open like that with no man tending to it..

Items sold here..


The shopkeeper.. finally back..

Note the exterior.. there is a balcony like area.. Alex say this is the sun room where ppl come out of their house to chill out in the sun..

Diesel for boats..


Back to Stockholm..

Nothing much to see in Vaxholm.. but it sure is a refreshing retreat from the busy city life.. after this, we proceeded to IKEA where we did some more grocery shopping b4 going back home..

After uploading the pictures to my laptop, i realised that my camera had taken its 10000th (yeah i didnt add in another zero by error.. its ten thousandth)picture today
