travelogue: a birthday weekend on the island of sandhamn
keeping to tradition, stefan and i went away for my birthday. our one night and two days on sandhamn, an idyllic village in the outer archipelago, was bliss. with a party scene vibe during the summer, on the off season, there with few people. it was peaceful and relaxing.
we walked and walked around the island, one day this way and the next that way. of course, being sweden, there was an evening of sauna-ing and floating in the heated pool. we also booked the outdoor hot tub… it was so dark, we almost didn't find it. but once settled in, with proseco in hand and a light snow, it was pretty perfect.
pickled herring plate, a classic swedish appetizer! |
fish soup and fried herring
aren't the autumn colours just dreamy, my favourite!
