Back from the land of the Vikings

The good lady and myself traveled over to Denmark for the Easter weekend. An early morning flight and we were in Copenhagen by 1030am. 

Over the course of the next few days we got in some good steps, a boat trip (well on a water taxi) and a quick visit to the remains of a great hall. 

On the boat trip we passed the Danish naval academy - there seemed to be a number of visiting vessels from Europe there too. We could also see the little mermaid (but been there done that). 

We had a wander around the city - pop over to the royal palace - it was rather overcast the whole time we were in Denmark. We took in a visit to the great hall of allegedly Rolf Krage  - although this just was an outline in a field. Rolf is mentioned in the epic Beowulf. A pleasant walk and I would probably would have liked to pop in to the museums in the area. 

We also managed to get into a few of games - Harry Potter munchkin, we my novice wife won - claiming not to have a clue what was happening and not really enjoying it! I of course was robbed. We - well my brother and nephew played a couple of games of Star Wars - The Clone Wars using the pandemic engine. It plays well with some nice miniatures. I must admit I thought is was a little easy on the first game as we defeated the separatists - we didn’t seem to be getting many blockades - an outbreak in pandemic. We also managed to keep the separatist leader off the board, so a number of her powers didn’t affect us. However in the second game order 66 was activated and the sith won. My nephew was well up on the lore for this game, knowing what named clones were famous for and the actions on different planets. A nice game - I think that used the pandemic engine in an interesting way, with fair replay ability. 

So a good weekend away.
