So it’s been ages since I last blogged. That’s because I’ve been sick and haven’t had the energy to do much besides lying on the couch, watching movies. I’ve been sick for more than a week and I’m still not well but screw that, I’m going to work tomorrow anyway. I just can’t stand another day at home. I’d rather sleep on a bed of nails than spend another day at home on the couch. I’m bored! It’s probably even more boring to read about so… change of subject!

Me and my sisters have decided that we’re going to the medieval week in Visby this summer. The medieval week is kind of like those renaissance fairs held in the U.S. There’s a fair, a medieval tournament and a lot of other things going on. And a lot of people – including me – dress up in medieval clothes. Visby is the perfect city for something like this because it’s the best preserved medieval city in Scandinavia and has been named a UNESCO World heritage site. The inner city is surrounded by a medieval wall and the city is full of old houses and ruins. It’s my favourite place in the world. Not that I’ve seen much of the world but still…

When I was looking at camping prices I was greatly annoyed by the discovery that my favourite camping no longer accept guests under the age of 25. Apparantly they think that anyone under 25 is a potential disturbance since young people are more likely to party and make a mess. That may be the case but not when it comes to all young people! Of course I can live at the camping since I’ll be 26 this summer but my sisters who are 21 and 18 can’t live there with me so this camping isn’t a option anymore. First of all they call themselves a family camping and that’s what we are – a family. Second of all we’re not there to party but to experience the culture and nature of Visby. And third – my 18 year old sister barely even drink alcohol. But oh no, all young people like to get drunk, party all night and disturb the other campers! Fucking bullshit…

There is another camping though. The problem is that it’s located 3 kilometers outside the city. That doesn’t sound far but compared to the other camping which is located 800 meters from the inner city it is. It’s also more expensive. Unfortunately we don’t have any other option since we can’t afford a hotel. At least it’s a really nice 5 star camping so I think it will be a great place to live, even though it’s a little too far from the city and a little too expensive.
