While at Roskilde Cg, Cx and I made our way to the Viking museum near the inlet. When we got there we found out that the museum offers a sailing trip. We all thought it would be a great thing to do. However the lady at the front desk said that there were only two seats left but she would ask the captions when they arrive if it was ok to add another passenger.
I volunteered to be the one to sit out cause there was a jewelery workshop that I could do instead. We told the lady at the front desk that we will be at the cafe getting some lunch. Just as we were about to finish lunch the lady from the front desk come by and said that I was able to join in on the sailing trip. Yeah!!!
The sailing trip was not until 3:30 so we still had time to check out the jewelery workshop. We noticed that the jewelry workshop was more geared towards children but that did not stop Cx and I. Both of use made some cool necklaces with a Thor's hammer charm. I think the guy who was working at the jewelery workshop got a kick out of two 20 something women making Thor hammer necklaces.

Then it was time to go SAILING!!

| The caption was giving us instructions about how to row the boat. |
 |
| We are all in the boat, and we are getting ready get the oars out of the boat and into the water. |
 |
| Those oars were solid wood and really heavy but once we got then the oars into the water they were much easier to handle. |
 |
| We had some great wind that day and a full sail. It was just amazing on how fast we were going once we got the sail up. |
 |
| You can see in this picture that there was a storm coming. Actually soon after I took this picture we heard a roll of thunder. |

It was just amazing this was my first sailing adventure and even better yet it was in an old Norwegian sailing boat. It was just amazing. I am so glad that I was able to do this!!!
After sailing the three of us when into the other building on the museum site where all the old viking ships were on exhibit.
