No sign of the ferry operator

No sign of the ferry operator Malhuvud
This is one of the shorter ferry rides anywhere. It goes to an islet in the Nynäshamn archipelago called Malhuvud, you can see the farm house on the second photo. The tiny islet, (53 hectare), is surrounded by the Norviken bay and the Svartfjärden bay, and you can see the whole ferry ride here. All that is missing is the ferry. It takes one (1), car and runs on batteries. The man that usually operates it is the former baker, turned farmer, Erik Jarvin who was born on the island and still lives there today with his wife. His family have lived here for more than a century.

Musköloppet

Musköloppet
The annual Muskö run took place yesterday. Muskö is an island in the Haninge archipelago, and you get there by car driving through the 3 km long tunnel. Around 300 people call this home. The island was crowded with many runners of all ages, and there was also a (crap), market at the old ice-hockey rink. We had "plastmuggskaffe" and cake and my buddy Hasse bought some locally made marmalade.
