Europe 26 – Road Trip Back to Copenhagen

Tuesday, 18 August 2026

Left the apartment early and headed out for a long day on the road…

Dalum Kirke… Great great great grandfather Jens Christensen Lamp is from here. I just really dig his name 🙂

Fraugde Kirke…really interesting stone work.

Interested in why there’s a model ship on the ceiling 🙂

Roskilde Cathedral…UNESCO heritage site

Started out as a Gothic Catholic structure…switched to Protestant during the Reformation. Some things were removed.

One of the most beautiful organs in the world apparently. Wish I could have heard it…

Walked to the Viking Ship Museum

Crazy that some of that wood has held on that long!

I tried to lift this chain mail and it’s crazy heavy

I sail!

Fun viking ship replica complete with “viking” giving the orders to the “crew”

So cool to see them actually making boats the old way. This one they are planning to sail to Florida

The ARKEN museum

Funky installation simulating climate change and being underwater…

The reason I came…The Thomas Dambo exhibit!

They had this awesome little staircase in a tunnel to the top of this heap!

I love these trolls so much 🙂

They had a spot where people could build trolls as suggestions for what Thomas could do next. So cool!

Such a good question…

Hilltop Trine didn’t have a plaque that I could see. She was being restored…

Dropped my rental car off at the airport and then took a bus and walked to my hotel. The crazy smallest place I have ever stayed and that includes on cruise ships!

Decent view though

And the WiFi is pretty good. Much better than at the place in Odense. Dinner of PBJ spread with a coffee stirrer haha
