Sake has, in his meticulous way, planned a route for us to take so that we can really gain an appreciation of the archipelago , especially the town of Marstrand and the rest of Orust itself.

Marstrand is located on the west coast midway between Gothenburg and Orust and overlooks the stretch of water known as Skagerrak. We take a stroll through the town centre and pay a short visit to the fortress above the town, before enjoying a fine open air lunch on the waterfront. During the afternoon we head back north and visit the small community of Mollosund on the south-western tip of Orust. Sake then gives us a real Cooks Tour of Orust which is a revelation with its rolling hills and a far greater variety of scenery than we had anticipated. In contrast to Vrango where we saw more conventional houses ,dwellings on Orust are far more rustic and apart from the main town of Henan the island seems to have fewer built-up areas.

A full but highly enjoyable day ends when Sven and Anna host a very impressive dinner in their guest house.

Cheers
