Vikings

We had the fantastic fortune this week of a once in a lifetime visit and stepping foot on the Dragon Harold Fairhair Viking Ship this week.

What an experience, such a beautiful ship and what fantastic history.

The kids learnt a fundamental fact that the Vikings did not run round with horns on their heads.. 

 You can find out all about the ship here http://den.vikingkings.com/en/dragon-harald-fairhair.html but for those that don't want to click the link the ship is the largest Viking ship built in modern times.

What a superb vessel, the ship had a broken mast which was being replaced at the sailing Club in Walsall and they kindly allowed visits before it sails back again to Norway.

You can take a peek at their facebook page which will give details of its visit to UK.. https://www.facebook.com/groups/277020215675452/

We had a fabulous time on board and decided to visit the beach before heading back home where we drew names in the sand and fund some shells.
