We landed in Copenhagen a little before 7:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 4th, after two long flights overnight from KL. We arrived to clear skies, lots of sunshine and no sign at all of typical Scandinavian rainy weather! The picture above is from the village of Helsingor, picturing the castle, Kronborg Slot, that Shakespeare made famous as the home of Hamlet, the fictional prince of Denmark. (Helsingor is a 50-minute train ride from Copenhagen and was visited on Day #2 of our time in the city.) The picture below was taken from a tower in the castle.
Day #1 in Copenhagen found us taking a popular canal tour as well as a 20-minute train ride up to the small town of Dragor which was beautifully situated on the seacoast and had more than its share of nice looking yachts in the harbor.Tomorrow (Monday) we are scheduled to take a 2:30 p.m. train to Stockholm. Prior to leaving, however, we have at least tentative plans to visit the Rundetarn, the Round Tower constructed by Christian IV in 1642 as well as the grave of Denmark's famous Christian philosopher, Soren Kierkegaard. - rw
