Copenhagen to Helsingor - Post 2 24/6/10

Yesterday, 23/6/10, there was a festival for midsummer here, they light bonfires along the shoreline and load's of Dane's congregate to watch the sunset. It was, fortunately, a lovely sunny evening, we took glasses and a bottle of red wine and joined the local's on the harbour wall. The sun finally set at about 10pm but we know it's already full daylight by 3.15am so short nights!

The following day we visited Kronborg castle, the setting for Shakespear's 'Hamlet'. We saw the magnificent ballroom where the sword fight at the end of the play takes place, apparently! Personally I had to study 'MacBeth' at school and Mark did the 'Beano' (his words not mine!)

This is right above where our boat is moored. Location, Location, Location!

Sweden is only a couple of miles away, so, tommorrow another day another country
