I have spent 1.5 weeks in Sweden to finish up at work and visit family and friends before we go on our trip.
The first weekend I spent in Mariefred with family. The weather was perfect so we did the classic outing. Steam train to Taxinge, had afternoon coffee with lots of cakes and then caught the steam boat back to Mariefred.

Taxinge is a castle, or more of a mansion maybe, where they have a large selection of cakes and sandwiches. I try to come here every time I visit the area. Below you can see my choice of cakes. 🙂
