T\u00e4ll\u00e4 viikolla kaikki, siis KAIKKI, niiden mummo ja pikkuserkku ovat Visbyn keskiaikaviikoilla, joissa juhlitaan keskiaikaviikkojen 30-vuotista taivalta ja el\u00e4v\u00f6itet\u00e4\u00e4n Visbyn taistelua. Paitsi siis tietenkin min\u00e4, koska en en\u00e4\u00e4 oikein ole matkustuskunnossa.<\/p>\n

Visby on ihana paikka. Ja keskiaikaviikolla ruusujen ja raunioiden kaupunki on parhaimmillaan. Onneksi meill\u00e4 oli ilo k\u00e4yd\u00e4 Mervin kanssa keskiaikaviikoilla viimeksi vuosi sitten. Ajattelin, ett\u00e4 t\u00e4ll\u00e4 viikolla on sopiva hetki haikailla Visbyyn lomakuvien merkeiss\u00e4 ja juoda loppuun viimeiset Ringmursblandning-teet Kr\u00e4nkusta.<\/p>\n

Alla kuvakavalkadi, klikkaamalla isommaksi. Jos n\u00e4yt jossain kuvassa tahtomattasi, pist\u00e4 viesti\u00e4 niin poistan.<\/p>\n

This week everyone, including everyone’s grandmother and their second cousin is in Visby, where they are celebrating the 30th annual Medieval week and re-enacting the battle of Wisby. Well everyone except me, who is not allowed to travel that far anymore.<\/p>\n

I love Wisby. And during medieval week, the city of roses and ruins is probably at it’s best. Thankfully it hasn’t been that long since my last visit. It was only last summer that I got to visit with Mervi. So I would like to invite you to my pity party and look at some pictures from last year. So sit back while I sip on my last Ringmursblandning-tea<\/a> from Kr\u00e4nku.<\/p>\n

All pics open into larger versions. Also, if you are pictured in a photo and do not want to be, let me know and I will take the pic down!<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0Visbyss\u00e4 on ihan uskomattoman kaunista. Ja hyv\u00e4ll\u00e4 s\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4 voi p\u00f6tkotell\u00e4 rannan sile\u00e4ksi hioutuneilla kivill\u00e4.<\/p>\n

Wisby is incredibly beautiful. And when the weather is good, you can chill out on the smooth stones on the beach.<\/p>\n

Gotlands Fornsal on todella hieno museo, jonka laaja n\u00e4yttely kattaa muutakin kuin keskiajan. Mutta t\u00e4ll\u00e4 kertaa keskityimme keskiaikan\u00e4yttelyyn. Viime vuonna museossa oli Visbyn taistelua kuvaava n\u00e4yttely, joka oli n\u00e4yttelyteknisesti hieno. Se onnistui jotenkin v\u00e4litt\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4n tavallista n\u00e4yttely\u00e4 paremmin tunteen siit\u00e4, mit\u00e4 tuollainen taistelu merkitsi koko yhteis\u00f6lle.<\/p>\n

Gotlands Fornsal is a really fine museum, the exhibition shows a ton of really interesting medieval things AND also covers other eras of the history of the island. Lasty year the museum had a really good exhibit on the Battle of Wisby, and it managed to convey the feeling of what such a battle meant for the society as a whole, instead of just portraying the battle.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0 \"IMG_2427\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fornsaletissa on esill\u00e4 samanlainen puolikuu, joka l\u00f6ydettiin Espoosta kaivauksilta.<\/p>\n

Fornsalet has a crescent that is very similar to one excavated from Espoo just close to where I live. Fascinating!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2422\"<\/a><\/p>\n

V\u00e4rttin\u00e4nkehri\u00e4!<\/p>\n

Spindle whorls!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2402\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Kaksipuolisia luukampoja!<\/p>\n

Two-sided bone combs!<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0\"IMG_2398\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ruukkuja, kannuja, oluthanoja ja kolmijalkapata.<\/p>\n

Jugs, beer taps, tripod.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2414\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Kynttil\u00e4njalka, jossa valonkantajana oli eritt\u00e4in muodikas mies.<\/p>\n

A candleholder, with a very fashionable man holding the candles.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2449\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"IMG_2446\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fornsalenissa on my\u00f6s hieno kauppamiehen huone, jossa voi p\u00f6lj\u00e4ill\u00e4 kameralle. :)<\/p>\n

Fornsalen also has this merchant’s office where you can fool around with a camera. :)<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2361\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Kaupungilla t\u00f6rm\u00e4\u00e4 ihmeellisen kauniisiin kukkiin.<\/p>\n

Incredible flowers about town.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_3907\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Joskus s\u00e4\u00e4 voi olla t\u00e4ll\u00e4inen, mutta hyv\u00e4 varustelu auttaa. Patiinit ovat mahtavuutta kun sade on muuttanut markkinat mutavelliksi.<\/p>\n

Sometimes the weather can be like this. Pattens are the best thing ever when the rain has turned the market into a mudslide.<\/p>\n

Meill\u00e4 oli viime vuonna pressikortit, joilla p\u00e4\u00e4stiin tutustumaan keskiaikaviikon laajaan tarjontaan. T\u00e4ss\u00e4 nautin ansaittua olusta Kapitelhusg\u00c3\u00a5rdenin<\/a> pihalla. Se on yksi parhaista hengailupaikoista keskiaikaviikolla. Ravintolan ja baarin lis\u00e4ksi tarjolla on mainioita ja\u00c2\u00a0 tasokkaita myyji\u00e4 sek\u00e4 kiinnostavia luentoja ja kursseja!<\/p>\n

Last yearwe had press cards, which allowed us access to a lot of really interesting places. Here I am in Kapitelhusg\u00c3\u00a5rden, which is one of my definitive favourite hangouts during medieval week. It is a bar and a medieval restaurant, but the yard also has some of the bestmarket stalls and they also host a wide variety of interesting lectures and classes during the week.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2302\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Historiallista pukeutumista k\u00e4sittelev\u00e4ll\u00e4 luennolla historiallisessa milj\u00f6\u00f6ss\u00e4!<\/p>\n

Historical surroundings for a brilliant lecture on medieval dress!<\/p>\n

Markkinoilla shoppailu on oma osansa el\u00e4myst\u00e4. Kojuja on paljon ja valikoima on vaihtelevaa. Vinkkini on kierrell\u00e4 ja penkoa ja olla ronkeli sek\u00e4 jututtaa rohkeasti myyji\u00e4. Kuvassa Historiska rumin<\/a> koju.<\/p>\n

Shopping at the market is of course really important. There are a lot of vendors and there is some wiiide variety in the offer. My tip is to take a look at everything, dig around, be picky and bravely talk to the vendors to ask about the product. Here we are shopping at Historiska rum<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4091\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Niin voi p\u00e4\u00e4ty\u00e4 onnelliseksi uusien kenkien omistajaksi. Prosessi edellytti runsaasti ruotsin puhumista, juoksentelua ymp\u00e4riins\u00e4, soittelua ihme numeroihin mutta p\u00e4\u00e4tyi lopulta aivan mahtaviin varsikenkiin. Mit\u00e4 ei tekisi mahtavien kenkien takia?<\/p>\n

A lengthy shopping process can lead to epic shoes. it took alot of speaking Swedish, talking to vendors, asking for directions, calling odd numbers but HEY – it resulted in really really nice shoes! What would one not do for really nice shoe?<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2328\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Peili! P\u00f6lj\u00e4 ilme ja kamera!<\/p>\n

Mirror, goofy face and a camera!\"IMG_2487\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Markkina-alueen syd\u00e4messa on tori, jossa voi seurata erilaisia esityksi\u00e4. T\u00e4ss\u00e4 taitaa olla narriryhm\u00e4 Trix.<\/p>\n

At the heart of the market is an area where you can see all sorts of performances. This I think is Trix.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0 \"IMG_2540\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yksi klassikko on isot hevosturnajaiset, jonne p\u00e4\u00e4simme kunniavieraskatsomoon \u00c3\u2026san ja Martinin kanssa!<\/p>\n

One classic is the big horse tournament, and we got into the same audience with all the honorary guests with \u00c3\u2026sa and Martin!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2548\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Parasta oli kun Mervi hevosten yst\u00e4v\u00e4n\u00e4 p\u00e4\u00e4si tapaamaan turnajaisten hienoimman hepan ja oli megaonnellinen.<\/p>\n

The best thing was when Mervi (who loves horses) got to meet the finest horse in the show and was megahappy!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4181\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Kaupunginmuurin ulkopuolella on keskiaikaleiri.<\/p>\n

Just outside the city wall is the medieval camping area.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4179\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Aina parasta on kuitenkin kamut! Uudet ja vanhat!<\/p>\n

The best thing is always pals! Old and new!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_4187\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ja tunnelma!<\/p>\n

And the atmosphere!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
