Museum . . . WOW, it is definitely a must see museum and the most visited Scandinavian attraction. We ended up spending 2 hours watching every video clip, reading every sign, and just looking in amazement at the detailed carvings of the actual ship. It is amazing that it was under water for over 300 years . . . and so much of it is original. Of course no picture I took can do it any justice . . . it is just that amazing.
A small reproduction model of what the ship probably looked like when it set sail back in the 17th century . . . very colorful.
And today after restoration . . . to show what was not original the replaced new boards are smooth and a little lighter in color . . . very few of them. This is the back view, same as above in the photos.
Of course we had yet another visit to TGI Friday's for wings; oh stop laughing! Before heading to dinner a quick visit to the Ice Bar . . . it was cold but nice to escape the warm afternoon for a little bit.
A view of my favorite part of the city from our hotel . . . taken through the window.
Look, you're finally in a picture! Thanks for the tip on this museum, I definitely am sold on this area after your travelogue. We went to the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde, Denmark - same thing, just older ships. Very interesting, especially how they got them up!
