Photos - Day 2

12 August 2014

The second day of the journey took me from Visby over Stockholm to Mariehamn, the capital of the Aland Islands - an autonomous part of Finland. After a bit of rest I continued to Vaasa. The ATC controller at Stockholm Bromma Airport let me fly and film the centre of Stockholm so you can enjoy some of the beautiful sights of Stockholm here. Then there is the small island of Market which is divided between Sweden and Finland. Of interest is also Faro island where the famous movie director Ingmar Bergman lived, filmed and is buried.
