30 May 2018. Kertemimde


Visited the Viking ship burial. Only a few miles from the harbour by bike. It's the only Viking ship burial in Denmark and we kept comparing it with the Saxon ship at Sutton Hoo. This ship was the same beam as our boat, about the same weight, but at 21.5 m long was more than twice the length.

The remains were preserved in situ by building a concrete roof over the top.

Later in the afternoon we swam off the beach and found it much warmer than during our brief pre-breakfast dip. This time there was a layer of warmish water at the surface, after a day of warm sun, but the water up to knee deep was still cold
