The Rest of Gotland

Sorry for the delay.

 Here are the rest of the photos from Gotland. 

On Friday we went on a bus tour for Gotland and then over to the small island of Fårö.

The shoreline.

Det är blåsigt!

We took a steep staircase down the jagged, rocky cliff.

Back up the stairs.

 We stopped at a small fishing village.

Colin.

Camouflage.

 Next stop on the tour was to see the Rauks, vertical rock protrusions formed when "part of a headland is eroded by hydraulic action, which is the force of the sea or water crashing against the rock. The force of the water weakens cracks in the headland, causing them to later collapse, forming free-standing stacks and even a small island."

 Many of them look like faces!

After playing on the rocks we paid our tribute to Ingmar Bergman. We visited his grave site and the small movie house where many of this films were premiered.

 The tour continued through the beautiful country side. 

Apparently there are tiny horses (1 meter tall) that live on Gotland. We spent much of the bus ride trying to spot these tiny horses along with gnomes, trolls and fairies. :)

Saturday was our last day in Gotland. We had the whole day to spend on our own before the ferry departed at 4pm. Liv and I decided to go for a walk in the morning. We walked around the wall in the bright sunshine. We picnicked in the park, enjoyed an ice cream by the water, and then got on the ferry and headed back to Uppsala.

Visby Glass. Best soft serve ever!

This was such a nice trip. It was fun traveling with all (well nearly all) of the students on the CIEE program. It was really fun to travel with a large group of students, stay in a hotel together, and be treated to nice meals cultural/educational activities.
