We left our hotel in Goteborg in Sweden and caught the ferry across the Denmark and then the train down to Aalborg. The scenery through Jutland was rich grazing and cereal crops. We were surprised just how flat the area is.
Our purpose for visiting Aalborg was to go to Lindholm Hoje. After checking in to our hotel, we caught a bus back over the Limfiord, the massive waterway that dissects the entire Jutland peninsular and up to Lindholm Hoje. This is a massive Viking burial ground with over 700 graves. Most were laid out in the shape of viking boats although there were some pre viking graves in a circular pattern. This was a unique experience and we thought it was better than dropping in on Hamlet.
The museum nearby had lots of artefacts from the graves along with wall murals depicting viking life.
Tomorrow we will continue down the peninsula and hope to meet up with the Bog Man at Arhus.

that sounds much more interesting than stinky old hamlet. I look forward to the photos of this stop.
Poor old Hamlet. First his uncle kills his dad, then his girlfriend tops herself, his two best mates kill each other - and now you reject him too.
However today we visited a palace in Copenhagen which had some stuff from Elsinore Castle in it - so that should make it ok.
