This is a part of the wall around the city of Visby, Sweden on Gotland Island. The keys were worn by the women as a symbol of their homes and their command over running it. The sea birds were nesting by the ship and if anyone walked too far to the right coming back to the ship they were dive bombed. Quite intertaining for those of us already aboard!
St. Petersburg, Russia was amazing. We only visited palaces but they were crazy in opulence! The grounds were just as massive and beautiful. This lizard was part of some hand painted wall paper. The door knobs were fantastic.
Of course I had to get a few of those wonderful domes. I was intrigued by the massive inlaid wood floors. There were so many types of wood in each of the intricate patterns.
