Roadtrip 2014: Going back to Rindö

A´m back with a new post.. as I promised.. :)
After looking for a place to sleep in Vaxholm I decided to go back to the previos Island Rindö, I though it might be a more relaxing envirement on the island Rindö.. Why? Because there were a lot of folks in Vaxholm and I rather sleep through the night instead of being woken by some drunks. Yah, people in Sweden cant handle alcohol very well.

The trustworthy Toyota is back on the ferry, going back to Rindö again. I got the last place on the ferry, phew.

Enjoying Stockholm archipelago once again. Love seeing and being on the water.

Another view from the carferry. Trustworty Starlet in the foreground. Sleeping bag and all that. :)

Vaxholms fortress. I really don't know why they called the place Wax Island. Perhaps they´ve made wax here before, no one knows (atleast not me, duh).. Well perhaps someone.. nah.

Looking for a place to sleep
Having been the Oskar Fredriksborg previously I knew a place there to sleep. But I still wanted to see if I could find an even better place. So I went round the Island Rindö to see what could be found. AND YES, I found a very handsomely silently place called Grönviksbadet. Here I decided so stay the night! Here some pictures!

Look at the view. Fantastic, and it doesn't it´s all free. That´s how you do it!

Here you see the Starlet parked. Beautiful scenery.

All the evening I could see big ferry's travel the water. And the light was magic. No mosquitoes either. I definitely found the right spot.

Grönviksbadet even got a "Baja Maja" as we called them in Sweden. (A place to go to the loo)

Let me tell you, I slept very well in this place! :-)

Roadtrip 2014: Vaxholm part 2

Still in Vaxholm in the Stockholm archipelago.

Since I took all this images, I though I share them.. This is the second part.

On the car ferry. The driver of the "ship" sits above all the cars. Nice view I guess?

The sign says: Welcome to the archipelago capitol. - or something like that!

View of the Vaxholm castle, view from Rindö

View from the other side, Vaxholm. Big Caste that became old-fashion before it was completed.

Le beach. The only one I found in this little town.

Out "Sightseeing" with the Miyata again. I actually considered this place for the night. Nice scenary. But perhaps a bit crowded? Kept searching..

Another picture of possible place to sleep for the night.

Lots of tourist

There were lots of boats out in the water.

.

I then decided to go back to Rindö.. More about that later.

Roadtrip 2014: Going from Rindö to Vaxholm, part 1

Next to the island Rindö is Vaxholm. A well known tourist place in the summer. Decided to go check it out and see if I could find a nice spot for the evening. Car ferry between Vaxholm and Rindö in the Stockholm archipelago.

I think I will do two post about Vaxholm, this is the first part.

Here waiting for the ferry that will take me over to Vaxholm.

The weather showed it´best side. Lots of motorbikes out riding too.

Tried to find a place to park the car (for free) and then use the Miyata Bike to go sightseeing. There were not that many places you could park the car for free, but found some places i bit further from city of Vaxholm.

This was a nice place. Right next to a small beach. There were not many beaches here in Vaxholm.

After have checked out the city I went look for a nice place to sleep for the night. Could it be found? Here you could only park 4 hour at a time.. I later found a good place, but íll keep it to myself for know.

Other side of the water, see the picture above.

Ingenjörvägen = Engineeringroad, since I´m an engineer i took a picture of this. :)

Selfie

Back to the car. Needed to charge the phone.
