Today we took the train to Roskilde, which is about twenty minutes away from Copenhagen, to the Viking Ship Museum where they are building Viking ships using experimental archeology. They have five wrecks that were sunk a thousand years ago to be used as a blockade of the port, and they are building replicas using the same technology that was used back in the day. Very interesting place, it’s a bit like Guédelon in France except that’s a medieval castle.

In the summer you can go sailing in some of these boats, we may have to come back some time. The little town of Roskilde is actually very pretty and has an impressive brick church, as they tend to go in for here. We had nice traditional danish open sandwiches with fish and shrimps, or in Paulines case egg, shrimp and avocado. Very tasty. Nice day here when the sun was out. The wind could cut through you with a knife at times though.
