Marstrand
Getting to Marstrand was less easy than it should have been, there is a train which connects to a bus in Ytterby. Unfortunately due to technical problems, the train was cancelled and the next one was two hours later. When we queried this and if my tickets would still be valid, we were told due to the delay we could take a taxi and Vastraffik would refund me. 1000 SEK journey later we were in Marstrand.
Vrångö
A had a friend over and took them out to the Archipelago. We went to Styrsö and Vrångö. Styrsö is one of the largest islands, with several places to eat and one of the highest points of the islands. Vrångö is one of the smallest inhabited islands, but has a nice cafe bar right by the ferry station.
