So here's some pictures from our trip on Friday to the Roskilde Cathedral and Viking Ship Museum.
The Roskilde Cathedral was really cool. It's where a lot of the Danish monarchs were buried so there are some impressive coffins and rooms in there. It was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. I went a little snap happy and took a huge amount of pictures. I only put a couple of them up here.
The Viking Ship Museum was a lot of fun too. Not the bulk of the tour, though out tour guide was really good, but the end was awesome. There were the costumes you could try on, and you can see in the pictures that I did. I was actually the first one brave enough to do it. We had a lot of fun there and there are some interesting pictures from us all trying the clothes on. Well us girls. None of the guys would do it. Wusses.
After we finished at the Viking Ship Museum, me, Andrew and Elaine decided to go pick some things up. I needed a hair dryer and Elaine and Andrew wanted to get kettles. So begun our adventure. We ended up in this little mall Elaine had seen when coming in from Copenhagen. There was a store there called Fotex which sold pretty much everything so we picked up some groceries along with my hair dryer and their kettles. It was when we were leaving the problems began. Outside was a bus stop and since our train clip cards work ont he buses as well and we didn't want to walk all the way back to the train station we checked the schedule. It said that this bus went to RUC (Our university) so we decided to catch it. This was around 5:30pm. What we didn't know was that this bus was going in the opposite direction and it was the one across the street that would eventually go to RUC. This was also the last bus of the night as we discovered once we got to the end of the line. Luckily we ended up near a train station. I can't remember the name of this station other than it was two parts and they both started with S. To make matters worse this train didn't go directly back to Roskilde. So we caught a train to this place called Koge, where we were able to switch lines and finally got back to Roskilde. From Roskilde we were able to catch a train to Trekroner and walked back to our residence, Korallen. We got in at 8pm. Last night it was annoying but today the whole thing is pretty funny. The three of us got ourselves randomly lost in weird suburbia Denmark. We saw a whole new side of Denmark last night.
