Today we went on a cruise to Altappen which is a small island off Luleå. The whole cruise was in Swedish which can be a challenge and everyone on the boat was as old as the hills. We had a great time tho. How could you not.
How pretty is this Island! This is one of the few photos of me not fending off the mosquito's. There were swarms of the blighters. We both have bites on our noggins cause that was the only flesh on show. Talk about all you can eat meat.
A small community used to live on this island so it is dotted with ruins. We don't know much about it tho because the tour was in Swedish but I think there was a fire here. That's why they left I'm guessing.
On the way back we got served a typical Swedish dinner. Shit or mighty it was good. We love the food here. Just warning everyone there's a good chance we will come home fat but we will worry about that later :) not a holiday worry.
A view of Luleå from the boat. Gorgeous.
