Vacation

This week we're on vacation with AL & UM. Yesterday we visited the Viking Ships Museum in Roskilde where viking ships excavated from the Roskilde Fjord are on display along with replicas built using the same techniques. Also lots of Viking history. Other plans for the week are still flexible (weather-dependent), but we've also done a fair amount of walking around town.

Friday was Kulturnat (culture night) in Copenhagen. For 100 kroner you can get a button which gets you into museums, galleries, tourist attractions and also onto public transportation for free (well 100kr isn't free, but it's only $16). We didn't go for that (we will next year) but instead just chose to wander with the crowds, window shop, and enjoy the evening. AL & UM arrived that morning, so we thought we would go easy on them the first night.

This week is efterårsferie (autumn vacation). All the schools are closed and many people travel. There are lots of children's and family activities this week in Copenhagen. There is also a winter break in late February, a reward for those who make it through the darkest days.
