Viking Village

Last night we travelled about 30 minutes to view a working Viking village from the 10th century. It was really amazing. A large number of people actually live there in the summer months just as the Vikings did all those years ago. It certainly gave us all a new appreciation of the Vikings. I think for many of us our only knowledge was of Astrix :-) The children were able to put on the armour and fight with the weapons and yes they were real - OSH would have such a field day in this country!! Today is the practice race for the regatta at 2pm and the opening ceremony at 8pm. The children are starting to get excited about racing so more from the venue later on. More importantly today is Zak's birthday so he's very very excited today :-)
