| | The Stockholm Archipelago by Kate Morris Travel Reviews from Travel Intelligence |
| | We had wanted to camp overnight in a hunting hut, barbecue some ‘fisk’, and wake to the sound of the waves, but the seas were high and the weather was turning bitter. | | | This is most definitely not a holiday where you will stumble upon a sunburnt package tourist downing lager and chips in a video theme-pub. | | | The graceful capital city of Stockholm, which consists of fourteen islands between Lake Malaren and the Baltic Sea, is an obvious place to begin a voyage of the vast Archipelago, which stretches 80 km east into the Baltic Sea. |
