We decided last night that we would put our fate in the hands of the Gotland
Tourist Service in Visby, and ask them to book rooms for us for the rest
of the trip. They take an hour to find out that they can do absolutely
nothing for us, so with the help of the girls from the Yellow Hen, we manage
to secure rooms for the next two nights, tonight at "Gannarvegården",
a hotel/hostel near Klintehamn on the West coast.
After a rainy day with not many highlights, we arrive here at Gannarve
where there’s a splendid ship burial right next to the house where we’re
staying. It’s an old place, and we get a large room (no bath) where we
use our own bedlinen which we’ve been carrying around all the way from
Denmark. There’s a café here which promises well.After a ham and
vegetable pie at the café, we decide we have to do something about
lodgings for the rest of the holiday, so we collect our loose change and
get busy on the phone. It’s a patchwork ? the last two nights at Suderby,
quite close to Visby, where we catch our flight home on Tuesday next. One
night at Stora Karlsö, an island half an hour’s boattrip from Klintehamn,
and there’s Friday night missing. Our kind hostess here at Gannarvegården
takes pity on us, and offers us a room for both Thursday and Friday night,
so after calling up and cancelling our accomodation at Tofta for Thursday,
we are finally able to relax.
