Copenhagen; Monday, 14 March, 2005

First stop of the morning is the station to buy some tickets to Roskilde.

More famous for its annual music festival, the town itself is very pretty and has several museums and attractions. Sadly this being Monday in continental Europe all bar the Viking ship museum were closed.

The museum tells the story of five Viking ships discovered in the fjord, their last role befor being forgotten was as a barradge across one of the navigable channels.

Along with the remains of the ships, reconstructions and background information, the museum also explanes a bit about Viking life at the time.

From the museum we wandered back to the centre of town stopping off to look at the impressive cathedral and for a bite to eat.

We caught the train back to the central station and then brought some more tickets, this time to another country.

Just beyond Copenhagen airport is the start of one of Europes most impressive structures, a road and rail bridge that links Copenhagen, Denmark with Malmö, Sweden. The trains only take 35 minutes to get from the centre of Copenhagen to the centre of Malmö.

Malmö is a very nice city with several pretty squares, though its castle is not as good as its Danish counterparts.

After spending a couple of hours wandering around Malmö's streets we popped for a drink and a bite to eat befor getting on the train and travelling back to Denmark.
