Grandpa Stefan arrived on Monday morning after a 16 hour bus ride from up north and after a day of rest he was fit for fight and ready for an outing. So, said and done, us older boys decided to check out Fjäderholmarna here in Stockholm.
Nicked from 'Destination Stockholm':
This island is one of the most exciting places to visit in Stockholm. Here the archipelago begins before leaving the pulse of the city. Appreciate Swedish handicraft, enjoy one of the many cosy restaurants, sunbathe from the smooth rocks or beaches whilst admiring one of the world's most beautiful sea approaches.

Funky tree
Fjäderholmarna is an old military installation and the army has left a number of cold war relics behind. Grandpa Stefan obviously had to take this anti-aircraft gun for a spin. Literally. 
Another gun
We managed to stumble upon a Swedish whiskey distillery exhibition hidden in the old military mountain bunker system(!)
We also managed to stumble upon a wall with mounted pike heads(!)
Another beautiful view of the island
