One day the past week we did visit the annual Medieval Week Fair in Visby town at Gotland Island, Sweden. The sight I enjoyed the most at the fair this year was the medieval bath scene “Katarina with the vat”.

Katarina and her colleague offered baths as follows:
• Total bath with birch branches and soap 10 coins
• Foot bath 5 coins
• Brushed on your back by young maid 2 coins
• Brushed on your back by old maid 1 coin

This photo below is one of my favorite travel photos. It got such an ancient look….

What do you say? Need a proper scrub? *lol*
