#denmarkday3

Today's hash tags and pictures:


#i'maviking - first stop of the day is to a Viking boat museum where the Danes have discovered and preserved pieces of 5 different kinds of Viking boats.  I'm not complaining about the tour as I know everyone has their tastes, but Vikings are just not my thing.  The boats on the water are replicas that we were told in a video were made using the Viking building method.  I believed it until I saw.....


#vikingsinventedblackanddecker - really?  Power tools in a Viking museum?  Lost all credibility with me.  I'm sure there was some Danish sign saying why they were using power tools.  I could not find the English version.

#restoredship - very little of these boats is actual Viking wood, but still interesting.  

#obligatoryvikingclothingpicture - meet my new friends!

#ageappropriate?  Coloring book showing pillaging and death.  I think I have my christmas gift covered for the pseudo nephews!

#royalchurch - Denmark buries all of their royalty in this church outside of Copenhagen.  It was gorgeous - I won't attempt to hash tag them all, but enjoy.




#oldcrown - Denmark has the oldest monarchy in Europe, so there were a lot of kings buried there and one ruling queen.  Impressive tombs for all of them.  The creepy thing was they had the current queen's tomb designed and on display.  I guess she's probably thankful its not ugly, but not sure I would want that just ready to go.


#harborforferry - next was the wait for the ferry to Aero.  I walked around taking pictures of things that looked cool.  No idea what this ship is.


#smallferry - that's the ferry coming in.  It takes our big coach bus on board!


#hugeferry


#onthewaytofairytaleisland - I'm on the ferry headed to the island! Scenes below are the ferry ride






#cuteonoverload - aero is ridiculously cute.  We went on the nightwatchman's tour which was fun and entertaining.



#justafleshwound - that weapon is serious stuff for a place where they don't even lock their bikes.

Other anecdotes- 

#havanacoke - rum and coke and cards is a fun mix at night.  Not fun the next morning!  So glad there are some really fun people on this trip.  Good clean fun.
