Merry Christmas 2024

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! The title of this post could just as well have been a Misty Merry Christmas. Can’t remember when we had so much rain and misty conditions in December. The photo above is taken in Hillerød with our friend Anders Schomacker and with Fredensborg Castle in the background, although you can hardly see it. Despite the weather, we managed to do some sightseeing and meet up with friends in Denmark. I took Erik to the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde as he had never been there. It was just us and a few other tourists. Thus, plenty of space to walk around the museum and Erik really liked it. There was the possibility to dress up as a viking and stand on a re-enactment copy of a viking ship. Both the real viking ships on display and the copies they have made over the years are spectacular! The most impressive of course being the Sea Stallion from Glendalough, which was built in Dublin by the Vikings. Take care and see you in 2025!
