We're Painting the Roses Red, We're Painting the Roses Red!!

 Once upon  a time, there was a town called Visby.  In these times however it is split in to two towns: New Visby and Old Visby.
   I mostly got to visit the  Old Visby. 

Visby is amazing..  Most people start from the center of Old Visby and explore, like the Sweden Guide says.

However, we started from the Main Gate.  The Main gate is connected to this fabulously old  wall called the Town Wall,  which  is 18 ft high and about 2.5 to 3 .  long.  It looks like a like a castle, with it's towers.

Once you get in Old Visby,  it's gorgeous with it's cobbled stones and Swedish Style Cottages. 

The rooftops make you want to jump across them like Arrietty jumps  through the leaves and grass in The Secret World of Arrietty.

The hills give that Diagon Alley feel that you have always wanted..  Big, with shops on the side and lots  hiking.

The ancient ruins in the main square are amazing,  though I didn't get to go in,  I could just imagine
what it felt like to worship their or have a Wedding as they were today.

My favorite out of everything was the Botanical Garden. With it's lush grass and the water-lily pond, it is amazing.


Not only that, but it's rare plants as well. The smell of the pineapples growing and the rare purple flowers, were amazing together.

Pinus Aristata, not pineapple, but looks very similar!

Roses!!

The Roses  that were just popping out, beautifully,   made you want to sing "We're painting the roses red, we're painting  the roses red" from Alice in Wonderland.

I definitely recommend the Botantical Gardens, because not only does the sun shine  through the trees,  but it sparkles and both it and the calming of the quiet breeze make you feel at peace.
