Tunų harbor. It's late in the season, so there are not that many boats in the harbor. The whole island is closing down for the season.

My boat Kon-Tiki anchored up for a few hours

The island also offers several ponds, and here live some frogs that are not seen anywhere other than on the island.

One of the many old farms. In the past, many buildings were in very poor condition, this is no longer the case.
1072
Everywhere on the island there are old apple trees. Many of them are quite sour, almost like wild apples.

Then I'm taken to the dairy to eat a shooting star and get myself a beer.

Before the trip goes home, it's time to buy some fresh vegetables and potatoes.

North of Tunų harbor is the campsite. It is of course empty at this time of year.
