jay's blog: Björnö

Since the Gotland trip didn't motivate so many people, we went for the back-up trip in the Archipelago, which turned out to be really great!!

Christelle had read about a really nice island in the Archipelago named Björnö (litteraly Bear Island). So why not go there? And Christelle had Audrey, Pel and me come to Björnö allong with her.

We took a bus from Stockholm that brought us into the Archipelago. Then after some time walking, we finally arrived to the place. Time for a break.

The island was really beautiful. Pure nature, no human activity, nice weather. Perfect to forget about the stress of the week and spend a great time with great friends, soon before departue.

After walking around the island, we agreed on a place to set our tents. In pictures.

With water!

And here we go!

First tent.

And second one.

After some time, we finally succeeded!

Nice colors!

Once the tents set, we couldn't resist to the temptation in climbing in the tree that you can see behind us on the previous pictures.

We then went for a little walk around. How the island looks like.

And after contemplating that small lake, we started playing cards next to it.

Audrey on the phone near the lake a bit later.

After a while, we noticed that some cows had arrived not so far from us, so we deciced to go say hello to them!

Pel and I with our headbands. Ready to go close from the cows!

I tried to fed one...

Headband!

Then we came baco to the lake to admire the sunset...

The girls too tried the headbands.

We went on playing cards...

... until it became too cold. We then moved to our tents. It's still cold!!

I managed to tie Christelle's socks!! I was proud!

Pel and me.

The next morning, the sun (and the rough conditions, including loads of mosquitoes) woke us up quite early. Pel even woke up for the sunrise, at about 4am.
