Aside from hiking to Sjalsö, the rest of our time on Gotland was centred around Visby innerstad. I ended up with a few random photos, so this post is a collection of moments captured on my phone and camera, in no particular order.
We usually visit Gotland earlier or later in the year, once the main tourist season is over. I appreciate I say that as a tourist myself! Visiting in May meant so much more colour than we’re used to; lots of tulips and other Spring bulbs.
We walked around Visby innerstad picking houses to live in, if availability and money were no object. I really liked this tiny blue one!
A little beach time. Me looking for sea glass, Scott building pebble stacks or skimming rocks over the sea.
Pelargoniums on windowsills is very Swedish indeed, and something I love seeing in so many properties. It’s almost as much a part of the “national uniform” as black clothing. I recently discovered a term called pelargonsjuka that roughly translates to pelargonium sickness, that’s jokingly used describe people who are obsessed with these plants. Pretty sure I fall into this category.
H10 Cafe is one of our favourite places to stop for a pick-me-up. Partly because it’s attached to a shop full of outdoor gear. They have plenty of sweet treats for fika and a tea station stocked with Kränku tea.
Retreating tide gave us a chance to walking along rocks usually hidden by the water. It felt like we were walking out to sea.
We finally managed to get a table at a restaurant called Gamla Masters!! Not booking in advance is usually the deal breaker but we called in and managed to get the last drop in table. Classic meatballs for Scott, butter fried char for me. One of the best meals we’ve eaten in ages.
Already dreaming about going back!
