(a nice city, which by the way celebrated it's 1000 year anniversary last year - Here's a link to information in english)
- but in april 1999 I emigrated to Australia - Sydney to be precise - to marry a wonderful woman and start a new life with her ....

Situated in Roskilde is a Viking Ship Museum which houses an exhibition of the remainders of 6 (5) viking ships found in Roskilde Fiord.
Besides these wrecks the museum has an impressive collection of traditional scandinavian boats including sailing copies of two (soon three) of the above mentioned wrecks - here is a picture of HELGE ASK - a replica of wreck no. 5 :
