The first week of Yinis visit was spent mostly on walking around, parks, downtown, museums and that kind of stuff. And when we were not walking around, mostly staying at home relaxing with a Stig Larsson book in our hands. Yini introduced me to the trilogy and even though I dont usually read criminal novels or the like, i am completely caught in them.
However, on Monday it was time for something a little more adventurous. We hopped on a tram out to Saltholmen and picked an island in the archipelago rather much at random. We ended up on the small island Köpstadsö with a parking lot by the ferry pier full of wheel barrows – the only form of transportation on the island. After a short walk we found a small wooden platform on the edge of some round cliffs, full of kids and families. We got a spot on the far end of the platform and while Yini finished her book, I went for a swim in the sea, slightly chilly but refreshing.
So far, pretty much the same as any other day except the change in scenery but when i had dried up we went for a stroll across to the other side of the island and, according to a badly drawn map there was supposed to be a path from there back to the pier. we did not find the path but decided to climb on the cliffs by the water all the way back. This turned out to be more of an adventure than we had hoped and we ended up climbing over cliffs and going through thick forests in a way that we were not prepared for. Exploring the rocky terrain and stinging nettle covered forest floor in slippers and shorts is not a good idea. Poor Yini had to suffer for my bad choice of way back. Perhaps there is a reason why explorers on TV always have proper shoes and long trousers.
In the end it was a nice day though and we had fun.
