Day 4 (Friday, May 24th) The real Vikings, a new favorite place, AND a boat ride ... it just keeps getting better! |
| Today we traveled via a time warp that started in the Viking age. Then we passed through the 20th Century crossing the Storebaeltsbroen Bridge (it took 15 minutes to cross at 100 kph). And finally we went back in time by ferry to Aero, an island that might have been created in a fantasy story. This must be where Danes dream of vacationing. | |
|
At the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde, Jack tried out a long boat. Conclusion, seaworthy but lacking in amenities (he couldn't find the bar or the head). Our respect for Viking fortitude just kept on growing. |

Det Lille Hotel, one of three our group stayed in, was excellent. Our second floor windows overlooked the sea. |

The other side of the hotel opened onto the past with cobbled streets and few vehicles. Here George, Shan and Paul get ready to explore. |
