Ribe Viking Market (6-May)

We had one last chance to get to a viking market - this one at Ribe on the west coast of Denmark (3.5hrs drive away).  We'd previously been there as part of our Legoland trip in 2017, but this time we needed to do a day trip as Cam had football on Saturday so we couldnt spend the whole weekend away.

Here's our photos from the trip:

We also managed to catch the big viking battle:

We then stopped for an icecream:
 

 and a play on the playground:

 

 We also checked out the boat and the wooden church.


When we visited in 2017 they were building a church, this year it was completed:
