Lifecruiser

Well, that was our share of the medevial week in Visby, Gotland, Sweden. It has been truly amazing to see all this medevial things, clothes and to taste wild pig etc.

The first day we were strolling around in our own clothes from the 18th century (actually the clothes we were wearing at our wedding last year). We even did wear wigs and mine is about 24 cm high! I had to duck everywhere or I got stuck with the wig.

Boy, did we get peoples attention… pheeeeeew…. All the tourist wanted to take pictures of us and sometimes with them standing in between us too. I cant even guess how many countries our picture is spread to now :-)

Another guy that was standing out from the big crowd was a man dressed in women clothes from around 1975, from a boutique called “Polarn och Pyret” that was very popular during that period. He was a brave man - a real viking….?

We even bought our selves some medevial costumes to really blend in among all the others. That was really fun. Mr Lifecruiser was sooooo cool in his different kind of hats we managed to find for him. One of them even had horsehair hanging out of it. Just outstanding!

Most of our clothes we bought at lunar plexus design, sorry that their website is only in swedish, but you can look around at the pictures. It is not all of their clothes, they have more, nicer ones too.

I even bought a dress from another place too, a kind of medevial and fantasy mix, more suitable when it is sunshine and warmer outside. It was in a boutique in Visby, on the mainstreet there, Adelsgatan, Wåtz wear.

The same goes for another place with medevial things, handelsgillet.

Yesterday evening we went to the restaurant and pub called Bistra Haren (The Grim Hare), to listen to medevial music and relax among other people in medevial clothes. It is on the side of the S:t Nicolai ruins, so the feel of the medevial time was complete!

They serve - among other food - something called poor-man’s stew, all to get the feeling right. The music was very special and people were dancing in an medevial way, really interesting. We really liked that place a lot. We will defenitely come back there next year.

Another medevial restaurant that is very popular is Clematis - we tried to get in there but it was full at the time.

Time to leave Visby now.

C U somewhere else soon again :-)
