East Gotland is very small, at least the town of Slite is. However, on the way it did have some interesting sight seeing things to see.
Especially, the church, Bunge Kyrka.
There is even a legend behind Bunge Kyrka. Apparently at one point, a man promised to God that if God could fix his daughters eyes, (they were blind) he would sacrifice the Ox to the church. However, The man got half way there and his daughter's eyes got see. Then the man decided that the didn't think he had to sacrifice it anymore, so he turned back around. However, his healed daughters were turned into stone, which are still in the middle of the field not far from where the church is.

The inner Harbor of Slite
The rests of the town of Slite is very small, pretty much a square with a mini skateboard ramps. There is a pretty little Garden, an excellent Pizzaria place, and a Ship museum that is only open on Sundays and Mondays.
The garden has a little stream that runs up to the what I think might be the legendary lady of the Water. Who I'm not sure what her story is.
There are also many places for fairies to live, hide, and play.
The lily pads were very pretty, and the water looked warm enough to swim in. In some parts of the town, there is a swimming beach, but it is to cold to swim!
Lady in the Water?!
Little water stream and pond!
Fairy House near the stream :)
