Today’s adventure was to Helsingør to see Hamlet’s castle!
Ok, technically it’s called Kronborg. But you can get a tour with a man in tights who’s pretending to be Horatio and loosely reenacts the whole play, so…. Paige and I signed up for that one based on a recommendation from our friend Emmy. Which was pretty great. The phrases “to be or not to be” and “something is rotten in the state of Denmark” were both uttered, and at one point he pulled a skull out of the vent and waved it around. If you ever go, definitely do this tour.
We also went into the creepy basement section where we saw a statue of Holger the Dane, who is supposedly the great defender of Denmark. At times, we used our iPhone flashlights because they didn’t really have a whole lot of lights down there… and when we came back up one of the employees looked at us and said, “You survived!” …..thanks. Really comforting.
I’ve crossed off another Denmark bucket list trip! I can’t believe I have less than 40 days left in this wonderful country. Next week is another travel break, so I’m headed to Kraków, Poland and Paris, France. Details to come.
Hej hej!
