We had a surprisingly peaceful day though, full of Viking activities: bread making (and eating), braiding to make cords, deciphering and writing in runes and making longships. We learned a lot too- especially about how Vikings travelled huge distances exploring, trading and raiding. They were incredible people and we have really enjoyed finding out more about them. Have a look at our pictures to get an idea about our fun first day back.
