J and I took a short day trip to the island of Fjäderholmarna. It's a 30minute ferry ride from Slussen. The ferry also stops at Nacka Strnd and it was nice to see the place I worked in 2000.

Fjäderholmna has a small museum of old, and I mean old, boats. I've been told that one of them is a reconstuction of a viking boat which was fould when construction crews found remants of 13 such boats while excavating for an underground garage. The authorities asked local craftsmen to build replica's using only the tools available during the Viking era.

There's also a glass blowing shop where you can buy grossly overpriced glass made on the spot.

We enjoyed some snacks in the sun while we were there. There's a fine restaurant on one end of the isand and also a whiskey distillery!

All in all, this is a great place to show first time visitors to Stockholm when there's not enough time to explore further into the archipelago.
