Brändö in the Åland islands

We are staying at this rather nice place, just biked 26kms this morning so it’s good to have a break!
The hotel Gullvivan
On Friday we got a ride to Kustavi and picked up our bikes from the camping ground there, then rode to our hotel on Brändö
Waiting for the ferry just out of Kustavi. It was a slightly anxious wait as we had to get to the big roro ferry by 1:30 which was about 8 kms away and this ferry was delayed for maintenance.
You don’t expect to see immaculate Rover SD1s in the ferry car park!
Waiting to get on the Roro ferry to Brändö  – we made it!
This morning we biked to the ferry terminal at Torsholma and back, via quite a lot of little islands.
This church near the township of Brändö was lovely
“To those lost at sea”
Just charming
This is the scenery while biking
It’s hard to do it justice
Nearly at Torsholma

Pauline has always raved about Åland and I can see why, I’m very happy we got here while I can still ride a bicycle 🙂
