So our third day on Gotland and second day on medieval week has passed. We had breakfast, went to the beach and got some tan, had lunch at Klosterlängan and watched both jesters and jousting.
We started with a good breakfast at hotel Slottsbacken where we stay.
Headed for the beach and got some sun.
Klosterlängan
After a couple of hours on the beach we headed for Klosterlängan and lunch. Mum had sheep and I had a vegetarian stew made of wheat, carrots and sourdoughbread. We both drank Klosteröl/ beer with the name Klosteröl.
Jesters
After lunch we walked to the medieval market where we saw jesters do a short show of juggling and more. Half the fun is looking at people in their cool outfits.
Jousting
The best part of the day was the evening that we spend watching knights and jousting. That was something extra and an event full of different events, jesters and fire. Totally recommendable for everyone, history interested or not.

A very, very, different Visby from my first visit in 1948!! 🙂
Oh my! You visited in 48? Do you have any photos? Scanned? That would have been cool to see. What were u doing here?
Glorious, Katarina ! – those knights jousting … how proud they look, and so do their steeds.
I would have given anything to be there amid that festive revelry and enjoying the people enjoying themselves ! Thank you for these wonderful posts !!!

Nerwositeten har inte kommit ännv, jag känner mig mest spänd, och hedrad. We, Gycklargrvppen, are young europeans skilled in medieval .
