Make A Trip

Today's weather was so pretty and quite perfect for beach. The entire day was fully sunny and no rain. So, we didn't waste this weekend just in shopping and watching movies at home. We went to a small island in Southern Gothenburg, Vrångö. It has a very nice beach for bathing. Here we got a magnificent view of the sea. Enjoy some excellent pictures of the island.
