Viking Ship Museum, Bgdoy

From Karl Johan Gate we made our way down to the harbour, a little behind schedule but still following some sort of plan. From here we had to decide which island we were going to visit by ferry. We settled on Bgdoy, which technically speaking is a peninsular but is treated much like an island as the bus route is far too slow. The ferry left soon after we arrived and it was only a 15 crossing to the museum 'island'. Although there were plenty more to visit we kept to the Viking museum with its original Viking ships recovered over 100 years ago from an ancient burial site. Although they've obviously been restored their condition is remarkable for their 1000 years. Even a cart had survived in seemingly perfect condition together with extensive intricate wood carvings that must have taken months of work all those years ago. Katarina and I took plenty of photographic evidence.
