Off to Gotland. Birgitta and Håkan each drove a car loaded with bodies for the 2 1/2 hr drive to this large ferry to Gotland. They have been so wonderful to us with their hospitality, their driving us back and forth, and for all the wonderful meals. All this and a wedding, and a new grandchild all in one week!!!
Here are Kate and Birgitta waiting to drive onto the huge ferry. The crossing took three hours to arrive in Visby.
Time for a nap on the trip.
Edward's first taste of icecream, he must be Swedish as he loved the salted liquorice coated vanilla.
Arriving in Visby. I'd tell you when it was built but our guide book is in Swedish. The only two dates we have found are 1200 and 1360.
All my dreams have come true, we are staying in a little red house. It is next to Birgitta's father's house where the others are staying. This cottage used to be a place where they made beer a "brewhaus". Birgitta and Håkan have renovated it and it is like a doll's house with a kitchen, bathroom and store room downstairs and two bedrooms upstairs believe it or not. The house is about 30 mins drive south of Visby, at Klintehamn the translation being cliff port.
Dinner under the cherry tree.
I'm staying in a Swedish movie set
