Had a very nice breakfast before going on deck to be greeted by an overcast morning for our arrival into Visby harbour on the island of Gotland.
It looks to be a very narrow entrance!
Our first glimpse of this lovely medieval town.
Nearly the Captains eye view from the fly bridge.
The Birka Paradise.
A busy little yacht harbour. Elin and Jim on the right of the photo. We walked along to the tourist information centre and booked a guided tour, in English!
We noticed these bike stands outside the library which had built in covers for the bike saddle.
This was really the start to our tour. Its a lovely place and the following pictures tell the story.
This man was applying tar to his slab house.
The magnificent stone arch roof to a ruined church.
Rune stones every where.
Visby Domkyrka.
Visby market square (Stora Torget)
A stop for fika. We had some exquisite pastries and coffee here.
Lovely weather for alfresco dining.
Back to Visby Cathedral.
A stop in Stora Torget for a quick refreshment.
Heading back to the boat. This is truly a lovely part of the world and maybe needs to be explored on another trip. We have had a great day!
The boat left Visby at about 1800. We had another nice dinner, did some duty free shopping, read a little and then to bed.
