We awoke to a lovely sunny morning and a chorus of waterfowl cries.
Schleswig has a very good museum in a Renaissance castle - the Schloss Gottorf, with some items that we particularly wanted to see.   We packed our lunch and set off on the path which ran right along beside the sea.
Our entrance fee was 9e- unlike other countries Germany has no reductions for seniors....

We first made our way to a separate building to see the Nydambaden (Danish)/ Nydamboot (German)   This is a 4thC Viking boat, found almost intact in a bog at Nydam, nearby, in 1863.

It has been 'fought 'over by Germany and Denmark ever since!.   It was at Kiel, but during WW2 it was moved deep into the country.  It was then moved to this purpose built building in Schleswig.   In 2013 it was 'lent' to the Danes for a special exhibition in Copenhagen. The end wall of this building had to be demolished to get it out. It then went on a special transporter by road to Copenhagen, where it had to be lifted over rooves by crane to the exhibition centre!
At least the Danes gave it back.    
The lighting in the hall is kept very low (no flash allowed) and everything is temperature controlled.  The exhibition is very good, but everything is in Danish and German only, so we had to guess at a lot of the info.
We had our lunch in the sun down by the lake.
After lunch we 'attacked' the castle.   It would take days to go round and see every thing, so we were selective. One thing we wanted to see was the 'bog corpses'   These were mummified bodies, thousands of years old, found in the peat bogs.   I managed to sneak a couple of photos without flash, but the lighting is low and the glass cases very reflective.   They don't think they died of natural causes and one is blind folded.   We have seen Utzi, the Ice Man, in Austria and he is a bit better preserved. 
We had a good look around the Schloss/ Slot until we were 'museum-ed' out and needed to get back for ' a nice cup of tea! '
