It is kind if exciting!Just behind the house which I´ll buy on Tuesday, I found a number of Viking thombs in the bushy woodlands when I was there some weeks ago. This is what a genuine Viking grave looks like in Gotland. There are a number of them around! You can vaguely distinguish one of my barns in the back of this picture.
So I will now live quite close these graves. I sincerely hope this old vikings are friendly and resting in peace. Anyway, I will have to go there one night in full moon when I finally move into my new house and pour some "Gotland´s dricku" on their graves in an offer and a friendly gesture! The "dricku" is an old Gotland beerlike brew the islanders have been making probably since preChristian times - and still brew in many homes on this island..
I surely want to make friends with my long dead Viking neighbours..Wouldn´t you have?
But even more exciting: I soon detected the foundations of Viking long-house nearby the graves. I have seen a few before on this island and I know how to distinguish one. So I marked it down on this picture with smal read dots to spot more easily. In a long-house not far from here they discovered the largest silver treasure ever on the island.Hmmmm...No. no. Don´t make any mistake! I´ll be financing my new house through a regular bank!
With interests and morgages and stuff..That might be an even more exciting deal to pull through in these financially plagued times! A good loan today will surely be quite a treasure!
