189 ) A very brief interlude


Christiansborg castle, Copenhagen

A brief interlude from the Cairns birds to report on my meanderings  I have been in Roskilde, DK for the past 3 weeks on sabbatical. I did get out in the country to ride a bit on one of the few sunny days









The famous world heritage Roskilde Cathedral - 800 or so years old and with great bells







 A reconstruction of a Viking ship - Roskilde is the home of a fantastic archaeological site of scuttle 1000 year old ships. They created an island (now the museum as they excavated the ships from the harbor and now build, and sail reproductions, using only technology from the time. I have a short video of this ship - the Sea Stallion, at sea- rather frightening!















One of the Danish royal crowns at the Rosenberg Castle.

 I am currently aboard the Pearl Seaways traveling up the arm of the N Sea to Oslo. Quite a flossy ship (multiple restaurants, a piano bar, a casino  yes that is a hot tub in the lower left...
 Just outside Copenhagen - doing it right...
