Many Swedes have cabins and many of those cabins are in the beuatiful Stockholm archipelago. Most of the cabins are primitiave: no indoor bathrooms. Don't don't have running water.

This has to be my favorite spot in the Stockholm archipelago (25,000 islands and all). Four years ago, when I first moved to Stockholm, I took this picture. Now I have taken this one, without realizing it was the same spot (Norrsund).

Odd back-story to this. Cut my finger this morning and put a drop of iodine on the cut, then blotted it with a tissue.

The Stockholm archipelago is the largest archipelago in Sweden, and the second-largest archipelago in the Baltic Sea (the largest being across the Baltic in Finland).
Today the archipelago is a popular holiday destination with some 50,000 holiday cottages (owned mainly by Stockholmers). Visiting the larger islands in the archipelago is easy all year round, but during winter period the routes depend on the ice conditions. Several companies have regular routes.
The town of Vaxholm was established in 1558, when King Gustav Vasa bought some farms from Count Per Brahe the Elder.
In the 1880s, it became a popular spa town, and many wooded summer houses were built by people from Stockholm.
It was not until 1912 that it allowed houses to be built from materials other than wood, giving the town a distinctive appearance.
