Ozbrecht 2019 - Iceland & The Baltics
Aalborg, Denmark
August 19
Aalborg is in the northern part of Denmark. It is a port on the southern side of the Limfjord fjord, which runs from the west coast (North Sea) to the east (Kattegat). The Viking Sea entered the fjord from the east, which is very narrow. There were green and red buoys guiding the ship in.
Looks pretty shallow over there!
Lots of wind turbines in the Baltic; some are offshore

Ominous. But it ended up a lovely day

One of the smart things Viking does is get their town walks started early. This old town street will be much busier later
