Day 9: Helsingor and Kronborg Castle

Today we went to Helsingor to see Kronborg Castle, known by many as "Elsinore," the setting in Shakespeare's Hamlet. This is where Hamlet was first performed. It was cool with a great view of Sweden (Some Danes don't think this is the *greatest* thing in the world, lol)...the creepiest but coolest part of the castle was going BELOW it....spooky spooky.

Below the castle there is a stature of Holger the Dane. Legend has it that if Denmark were to ever be under attack, Holger would wake up from his sleep and protect them. dun dun dunnn...

Then we had some yummy open-faced sandwiches in Helsingor...did some shopping...hehe ;-)

Tomorrow: Tivoli! :-D
