Viking Ship Museum
August 18th 2017
Today we went to the Viking Ship Museum. This is where the famous Oseberg, Gokstad, and Tune Viking ships are housed. Here are the world's best-preserved Viking ships and more than 5500 other objects from the Viking Era. We walked through the exhibits, watched a video presentation on the history of the Viking Ships and how they were discovered and I even found a penny press. (although it did not take a penny, needed a Krone)
We also saw the Kon Tiki.
They even had some cut outs of traditional Norwegians for us to pose our heads into.
After the museum, we stopped for a few beverages. I tried a local Norwegian Gin and had a Gin and Tonic. It was garnished with Rosemary, blueberries and raspberries. Hmmm interesting. I also was able to stop in an Irish Pub for a cold Guinness. See my travel blog on Guinness Around the World for more information.
We headed back to the rental and enjoyed the sunset with some drinks poured into our new Viking Horn Glasses that we got as souvenirs. It was not too bad to drink from, but difficult to set down as it would trip over. Needed to get the horn sling for my belt or a horn holder!
