The Tranquil Little Town That Is Vaxholm

I have tried white asparagus before, and I did not enjoy...

After a quick fifteen minute Google search, I stumbled upon the Karlberg Castle - a castle in Solna which was a mere six kilometers away from where we lived. We packed some water bottles, wore our jackets and off we went.  After arriving, we got to see a small dock where we got to sit and take pictures of the castle. Check it out! After another kilometer of walking...
