Final Port of Call Visby, Sweden on Gotland Island

Last port of call on this Scandinavian cruise was Visby, Sweden.  The town of Visby sits on Gotland Island. Since our port was on an island our ship had to drop anchor and we had to tender in on life boats.  Once on the island we took a tour sponsored by the cruiseline.  Our first stop on the tour was Hogklint which is huge cliff South of Visby.  This site boast spectacular vistas of the Baltic Sea as well as our ship.  At this site our guide told everyone that we could walk out to the cliffs edge to get a better view.  We noticed that there was a narrow staircase made of weathered wood that was rickety.  I saw that two others where down at the bottom so Robert and I decided to sneak down to get better pictures.  As we were all making our way back up our guide was at the top of the staircase advising everyone to come up as we were an insurance liability.  There was no rope or sign advising anyone not to trespass.
