As we left Svolvær to drive south along a chain of islands towards the famous town of Reine, we passed the Viking Museum. Before our trip, we had written this museum off as a “tourist trap”, but now, 2 months of adventures later, we were seeking other ways to learn about our environment. This interactive museum was a fun change from learning on the internet or from books and chance experiences. These are few of the hundreds of pictures and hundreds of laughs we had pretending we were Vikings and learning about their history.
