We left Hällevik this morning after three nights. Our destination was Tärnö, an island in the Blekinge archipelago. I don't like the translation of the Swedish word "Skärgård" into archipelago that much, as it does not really explain the number and size of the islands. But anyway, that's the official version. The Dutch is 'scherenkust".
Tärnö is - relative to most of the islands - quite big and it has a guest harbour and quite a few summer houses. As midsummer is coming up this week (it's a big celebration in Scandinavia), quite a few of the owners of the houses have arrived in the last few days and are busy getting the houses and gardens ready. Also at the harbour there is quite a bit going on, in spite of the relatively cool weather, people are barbecueing and the harbour is quite full of locals. Just us and a Dutch yacht as 'strangers'. It's quite a small and 'informal' harbour.
We had a walk to the lighthouse which is claimed to be the oldest still functioning wooden lighthouse in Sweden.
I can't post pictures from the iPad, so that will have to wait a day or so.
Tomorrow, we plan to continue a bit East to Rønneby.
