It's quite a wonderfully interesting place isn't it? The stone "portrait" is actually a tombstone!

[deponti]

Does that mean the Baron is buried there, or the tombstone has been brought to the castle? SO much information, and poor Kejn could only translate so much!

[pondhopper]

No, he's not buried there but the stone was brought in for the museum. I hope they left a suitable marker in its stead!

Lovely! And er, the 'slingshot cannon' is a trebuchet. :) I know my weapons of mass destruction!

[deponti]

Yes, you're right, it's a trebuchet... a war catapult. Now if you can find ten more people (born after 1983) who know that word....!

I'm enjoying your photos from Sweden.

It's been a wonderful trip, though very, very expensive for someone who has only rupees! I'm going to follow YOU through Melbourne without spending a penny, though, Debbie!
