I was going through some pictures from our summer adventures and came upon this one. This was a cool little viking shop in Copenhagen, hardly visible unless you happened to stumble down the little street it was on. We passed it a time or two when we were avoiding the crowds on Strøget but it was closed. My son wanted to see the contents as did I. So on our second to last day in Copenhagen we made a special trip to find it (which wasn’t easy–it’s easier to find when you aren’t looking for it).

The place was owned by a guy who looks like a viking. He was a very nice man who spoke perfect English. He spends his days in his shop making viking wares by hand.

Another reason I share this photo is it captured a bit of my Copenhagen bike which I miss so much.
