It Takes a Viking to Raze a Village

Woman Waiting at Copenhagen Station

Today we decided to be adventurous. I’d wanted to see the Viking Ship Museum, which is in Roskilde, about 20 miles west of Copenhagen. Rather than renting a car or taking a taxi, our usual modus operandi, we wandered over to the Copenhagen train station and figured out how to get on a train to Roskilde. The train ride took about 30 minutes.

Once in Roskilde, we had to determine how to get to the Viking Ship Museum.  I couldn’t make sense of the bus schedules, so we looked at a map and decided to walk. We basically walked across the town, which, fortunately, is not very big.

The Viking Ship Museum is great.  They have the remains of five actual Viking ships which were excavated from the bottom of the nearby fjord back in the late 1950s.  The ships themselves date from about 1050 A.D.  Wow!

Tonight we are going to a “meet up” of some other people who will be on the cruise with us.  And we get on board the ship tomorrow.
