Part 1- An interesting day with Henrik and Bettina at Middelaldercentret

Henrik and Bettina served me a very nice breakfast and had a plan today to take me to Sundkøbing to Middelaldercentret, a lifelike museum of a time of life 1408, far back in Danish history. Everything has been reconstructed as accurately as possible and the people are dressed in period  costume. Henrik and Bettina have not been here for quite a while and there are more new attractions. Bettina packed a lunch and we were off in their car.  First we drove to Nykøbing to pick up their race numbers for a century plus ride that they will do tomorrow. Bettina gave me her race shirt.
We entered and they paid for me (thank you) and I just had to get on this tall display horse.
