So I've posted a bunch of pictures from the past week...in reverse order. The pictures of the Roskilde Cathedral and the Viking Museum are from today. Both places were amazing. The architecture and design of the Cathedral were beautiful. The Cathedral itself is home to 22 Danish Kings and 15 Queens dating back to 940 A.D. And they are actually in the Cathedral, lying in the ornate caskets that I could actually touch. It was really cool. Most of the Kings and their immediate families had a chapel room just for them. Unfortunately the Cathedral was being renovated, so some of the potentially beautiful photos were somewhat inhibited by the scaffolding and construction.

The Viking Museum was extremely interesting. They found remains of these 4 old Viking ships off the coast of Denmark 40 (ish) years ago and had to go through all these intense processes over a 25-year span to figure out which pieces went where. We were able to walk out on the Fjor (the bay) because of the frozen ice, which, oddly enough, hasn't been frozen in over 25 years. In other words, it's the coldest here it's been in over 25 years. It's not torture, but when the wind is blowing, it really is painfully freezing.

The surrounding town of Roskilde is also very beautiful. It was a great trip, and now I have to recharge the batteries before heading off to Frederiksberg Castle tomorrow.
