Papperhavn

View from Papperhavn, and a beautiful evening in the making

When we set out it was miserable weather. When we arrived the rain had cleared and later it turned into a beautiful evening at this charming old fishing-boat harbor.

The charm-scale peaked when the “harbor-master,” an old guy that oversaw the disused fishing-boat dock, gave us a load of freshly caught shrimp.

However balance was soon restored. A westerly wind will send waves into the bay and beat the boat against the dock. This we learned during the night.
