Tropical weather is rather rare in Sweden, but last week was very close to that. It gives a lot of energy, and also, it creates a relaxed atmosphere. However, yesterday and today is rainy. In a way it is good, because it gives people who are allergic easier times.

I don´t know why, but I have thought of the ocean a lot lately. Water is connected to freedom for me. And I have been missing the ocean so I have spent some time in Stockholm archipelago. No bathing yet.

Waxholm was so great, so it inspired me to go to Fjäderholmarna. Just half an hour from central Stockholm. Photo above is from there. Green, fresh and friendly.

A week passes so rapidly, and it has been so good just to have a few days off. To do the little things in life that I say “I will do that next week when I have time”. I did the third Hepatitis B vaccination.  It is good to have protection against, a rather severe, chronic infection that affects the liver.

Even though it is several months ago, I still had a few memories left from my vacation in Sri Lanka, so now they are nicely put in a box for future. That is why I didn´t feel like going anywhere this week. Still had beautiful Sri Lanka memories in my mind.

So, I chose to stay in Stockholm. To do the little things in life. And also to enjoy the lovely city of Stockholm. Water is very present in central town and I like that a lot. I have always liked water. Previously, I wrote that it is probably because I connect that to liberty. When I was in Gothenburg I got to learn the archipelago there very closely. And I miss it a lot. The salty water. So fresh. To watch the horizon and all the ships going to all over the world.

To remember and refresh my memories I went for a trip to Waxholm yesterday. The return from Waxholm to Stockholm was very beautiful. It reminded me a lot of Ha Long Bay in Vietnam, but smaller lime stones. It is so nice that the light now is present in the evenings, the temperature was perfect, even though a little chilly. Sharing a few photos. Feels like the first taste of summer is very tempting.

A few words about the beautiful weather that finally has arrived. A week passes rapidly and I am alternating between doing little, necessary things, and relaxation. I am lucky, I must say. It is like summer in Stockholm. So, yesterday I went for an excursion in Stockholm. Since I am grown up in the countryside, there is always some sort of longing for nature when the weather is fine. And, even though Stockholm is a big city, there are green areas in center town.

I don´t know why, but I like water a lot. I like to watch boats passing by on the sea. Probably because there is some kind of liberty I connect with water. When I go bathing I just love to dive. The sentence of freedom. But, I did not do that yesterday. I just watched the boats and happy people on holiday.

Yesterday there was a big football game at Friends Arena in Stockholm and there were happy supporters from England and Scotland going to the game. I usually don’t watch football very often, but yesterday I did. I was so glad to see that Manchester United qualified for Champions League after being in European League.

Sharing a few photos from yesterday.
