Got a day travel pass and headed up towards the Northern Archipelago, an Island called Ockero.. It was a LONG tram and bus ride....got there. and really...nothing much. a small town there...loads of kids riding their bikes around....a nice fishing port... I guess they have some nice paths you can walk into the Island but I didn't really bother walking there...Had my regular ice-cream walk around....then waited for the bus.

Put my backpack in the locker and headed towards the Wine and Spirit Museum. It was in this kinda...industrial building but the inside was really nice!..They had a free audio guide so I actually was able to understand things...although, all other signs in the museum were all in Swedish...-__-" It was interesting though!
