Polferries
Polferries has bought up old Gotland ferries that are a little worn, but perfectly ok.

We danced until quite late and today we enjoyed the sun on deck. But in Stockholm we were met by rain, thunder and hail ...



From sun to thunder and hail
When we rolled off in Stockholm, it felt like the holiday was far away. Now there was no longer any sun, but instead thunder, rain and hail.
