Sometimes Chuck and I check out the webcameras for Visby, just to see what kind of weather Andrea is having as she's at work, there in the center of Visby. The camera in Stora Torget is updated every few seconds, and you can see people walking and cars driving. I've always thought it would be fun to place oneself there in the Market Square at a set time, and wave at someone at home watching online. 
This is the ferry to the mainland of Sweden. We've been on it once, at the start of our trip to southern Sweden and Germany about 3 years ago. The cars, buses and trucks are waiting to drive onto it. When on the ferry, the assigned seats are almost like being on a very wide airliner. Andrea and Stefan take the ferry for those mainland trips where they need a car - such as shopping trips to IKEA. Sometimes storms and heavy seas make it difficult for the ferry to dock.
The other way out to Gotland is to fly. Here is the airport. 
This is the little Fokker we fly on. It's a Fokker 50 with room for 50 passengers. They serve coffee, tea and pepparkakor on the 50 minute flight from Stockholm.
