Roadtrip 2014. Nice Houseboat in Saltsjöbaden!

So walking around in the harbor, took some pictures to who show you.... This looks like a nice place to live! The view is among other things the Saltbadens hotel

Solar power and wind power. Pretty much off-grid. Nice.

Sundeck and small windows. Looks built on floating cement.

The houseboat has this as a view. Not to bad, right? Looks like a castle except without a wall surrounding it. There were some kind of party there, playing soft classical music

Next to the houseboat were Friluftsbadet  jumptower located (nearby beach).

Perseverance. I like that word! To never give up. Follow the life philosophy and the values  that you're guided by.
( steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. )

Roadtrip 2014: Saltsjöbadens friluftsbad, Free air's bath :)

Found a free parkinglot, only 30 min. Which car is
the most white? Ok, perhaps the Toyota lose.
White is my favorite color (I think).

Friluftsbad...Thats right! Free airs bath, that´s how they pronounce it here if you translate Swedish into English.
Anyway....
As I said in the previous post I decided to park the car and take a small walk. Just do a small check up of Saltsjöbaden harbour, to see if I remember anything.. Why? Because I have been here about 14 years ago doing a matchrace with my colleges on a sailboat J/80. It was my at the time managers boat. We had a really fun day (since I love to sail), and love to compete so I have always hold Saltsjöbaden close to my heart. So.. How did the matchrace go? I was on the winning boat all the time.. ;-) No I´m not bragging, I´m just stating a fact!! :-)
Anyyyywaaay...
First I stumbled into some sort of gathering at the Saltsjöbaden hotell (Grand Hotel). I Took some pictures of it. Dont know what was going down. Wedding?

I soon continued. After I walked over a small bridge I found a "friluftsbad" (freeairsbath), and took a couple of pictures to show ya (incase you're considering visiting this place). It was not free to enter but it looked like a nice beach. At least the air was free I guess. :-)

Here the gathering. Lots of chairs.

Live music played by two people.

It's pretty late in the day, but there still people hanging out on the beach, relaxing. Nice place!

More of a closeup on the beach and cafeteria/restaurant.

Outside and entrance to the beach: Saltsjöbaden friluftsbad.

Road2014: Arriving in Saltsjöbaden

Arriving at Saltsjöbaden, found a 30 minutes free parking-lot, just to do a first check of the surroundings.

Nokia N8 phonepictures:

Parked the car near the train station, and could see the well known hotel, which name I didn´t know.

This nice looking hotel was built 1893. At least that what the sign says. Maybee the fools are lying to me, no.

Moving on by foot. Saltsjöbaden friluftsbad In Englai: Saltlakebath freeairbath :)

Got back and took the car to go check for a sweet spot to stay the night. Solsidan is a posh place here in Sweden and I though that would be a nice place for a sleepover. Just to stir the place up a little, haha. However I thought it would be a hard time finding a sweet spot. . A television show has made Solsidan even more famous. According to the myth, this is were all the rich lives. You know, robotized lawnmowers, and everyone transporting them-self by a segway or that is at least the picture in the tv-show. Quite funny actually.

Look! Me satisfied. I found a really nice place, The sun i lowering itself and the car is getting some shadow. Too warm otherwise. This were a really nice spot I may say. You could park here over night for free.

I have a book that´s called discover Sweden, and here I could read a little about the place and its surroundings.
