Visits
- 2015-03-17: After wandering around near the harbor, we finally found the ferry going to Gressholmen with about 30 seconds to spare. Of course, the ticket machine was not working correctly. The captain of the boat was concerned about our trip to the island as the winter schedule meant we would be there for at least three hours. As it turns out, there was only one other person on the island during our trip there.
