Day 8: Aero, Copenhagen, ferry to Oslo, Tuesday, June 21

Today we reboarded the bus and cruised back into Copenhagen for some lunch at the market in the city center. 

Our tour of the island brought us to Bregninge Kirke — a 1000-year old church full of medieval frescoes, including a Pietà-style painting with an age-appropriate Mary.

We had some time for a walk in a lovely park and then it was time for our big (18-hour) ferry ride through the North Sea and into Oslo. We found a passenger lounge that nobody else seemed to know about, and had it to ourselves as we enjoyed the long, late sunset on the shortest night of the year.
