"Gotland - the island of roses and ruins. " a Gotland Travel Page by jacob_m

This page is about Gotland, a beautiful island located in the middle of the Baltic sea with the old medieval city of Visby as "capital".
This is the place where I've spent many many summers, even if I know the island very well I can't stop going back there, it's just too amazing. Look (and enlarge) my pictures and you'll understand.

(This page used to be my Sweden-page but as they included Gotland as a destionation I moved the page to its right location)
