Sucky-sucky, frou-frou

After dinner at an Italian/Greek restaurant in Roskilde, I ordered an Italian coffee for dessert. The drink came with a unique straw that looked ike a cross between a Christmas ornament and a frilled lizard.

Headed to Helsingborg

Friday August 31st I headed to Sweden the first time. A ferry system runs three ferries (Hamlet, Aurora, and Tycho Brahe) continuously across the Øresund between Helsingør (Denmark) and Helsingborg (Sweden). Thus you can take a trip roughly every 20 minutes at any time of day.

Roskilde

Frederiksborg/Hillerød

Frederiksborg castle in Hillerød, Denmark.

Helsingør

Click here to see the photos (more coming soon) from around the town of Helsingør. This is the site of the Kronborg castle, which is purportedly the inspiration for Elsinore in Shakespeare's "Hamlet".

Copenhagen, Take 2
