Never Mess With a Viking Woman


Jean Sue gets into the spirit of the 9th century at the Lofotr Viking Museum on the central island of Vestvågøy. So did Bob, though he makes much too happy a Viking.

The museum's centerpiece is the reconstruction of a Viking long house on the site of the excavation. Inside, historic interpreters, in period garb, explain Viking culture and everyday life.

Not wanting to further brave the typically inclement Lofoten weather with an additional hike down to the water and the museum's Viking boat replica, we limited our visit to the longhouse.
