We’ve been here about 3 days now, and I was able to upload some pictures using Nina’s parents computer! It was quite grey on Wednesday when we went in to town, and it rained off and on. Yesterday it cleared up around lunch, so it was nice then – we got to go up King Christian’s Round Tower from which you get a great view of town (one of the King Christians, not sure which one. Pretty much every Danish king has either been Christian or Frederik) and we saw the Little Mermaid Statue. Much cooler than the girl in the wetsuit at Stanley Park.
Today, we took the train up to Helsingør where we checked out the town and Kronenborg – the castle which Shakespear used for the setting of Hamlet! That was pretty sweet. The only thing that would have made it sweeter is if there had been one of the live, on-site productions of Hamlet on when we were there. After wandering around, we decided to take the ferry over to Helsingborg, so, 20 min later, we were in Sweden! They didn’t even ask to see passports. So we wandered around there looking at some cool Medieval buildings – a tower and a Danish Gothic Church – then took the ferry back to Helsingør and trained back to Copenhagen.
Anyway, so here are those pictures. Enjoy!
