You have this photo of Gabby and I eating a lovely meal (still at the bread and Olive Oil stage) at Pate Pate restaurant on the last night (back in Copenhagen). Just in case you don't want to see Bog Body photos which start 9 or 10 photos down. Here is our hotel too - very modern and swish.
It was round like these other buildings. We were on the 8th floor.
In Silkeborg, we had to walk into the town to reach the Museum - poor Gabby hauling the heavy suitcase. These houses were typical of the older style of property and many houses had the steep pitched rooves.
What they think Tollund Man looked like in life.
The contents of his last meal.
These figures were also put in the bog at Bakkegarten near Krageland. Similar abstract figures have also been found in bogs in the Netherlands and Germany, and were possible markers for a safe route through the wetlands.
Elling Woman, who was found not that far away some 12 years earlier.
Damendorf Man, or at least his skin. 290 - 360 AD.
Various hair styles.
He just looked like he was asleep . . .
It was well worth the wait to meet him. I have 8% Danish blood (Gabby too) from my mum's side of the DNA. I was glad to pay my respects.
