Viking Dreams

Touring Scandinavia May 21 - June 7, 2002

 

Denmark

Day 5 (Saturday, May 25th)  Exploring Aero.

What a busy day.  So busy and delightful that the next three pages are dedicated to today.  In the morning we were free to explore Aeroskobing, the one town on Aero, or to bike around the island. 

We all met at noon to explore the island by bus.  For lunch we stopped at the Dunkar Kro to enjoy our first Swedish smorgasbord. 

The interior of this 12th Century Church, Bregninge, is still painted the way it was 900 years ago.  The hanging ship was for the safety of those who went to sea.

Next we visited a 6000 year old early-Neolithic burial place called Langdysse (Long Dolmen) Tingstedet.  As a holy place, it predates Christianity by 4000 years.  Lisa and Sonja "volunteered" to enter.
