Trip to Åland

In the last second we booked a trip to Åland, an island that belongs to Finland but where the official language is Swedish (it once belonged to Sweden).

(thanks for the comfy chair, moster!)

We left home yesterday afternoon and headed for the ferry. In accordance with the reservation information we arrived to the ferry 1 hour before departure, only to be told that we were supposed to be there 1,5 hours before departure... They could not let us on the ship!

We waited by the port and eventually the same company could get us on a later ship that would pass Åland, too. We would only arrive one hour later. The trip with the ferry went fine and we arrived to Mariehamn on Åland where we found our guesthouse. A cute little house by the water.

Today we spent the day driving around and we have visited a lot of cute and beautiful places. I am positively surprised with how nice this place is!!

Marlee went "swimming" when we got back to our guesthouse. He never really went swimming but dipped his little behind in the water :-) I started our with just taking off his socks and shoes but soon realised that it all had to go...
