Small misadventure with the train system, but we managed to get out to Roskilde at about the time they opened up what was going to open on a White Monday holiday. As the Danes are a very religious people they take off every semblance of a holy day they can and even make up a few to have some more days off. The good news is that the places we wanted to go in Roskilde were open but just about everything else was closed due to the holiday. Try to think about a tourist town with all the shops closed on a holiday in the US...
In any event, we visited the viking ship museum and went out on a viking boat recreation. Due to the activity involved in rowing the boat and getting the sails up and in George's case steering we did not get any pictures from the boat. It was a lot of fun and I would do it again in a heartbeat. After the boat we went to Roskilde Cathedral then got lunch and eventually returned to Copenhagen. After a short rest back at the house we went out and had dinner and a couple beers before returning for the night.
