We headed off to Helsingor for a day trip to visit the castle made famous by Shakespeare and his whinging, crazy Hamlet. The castle was very impressive and we got to explore the tunnels and fortifications under the walls.
Swedes to port
From this part of Denmark, you can actually see Sweden. It is about a 30min ferry ride to get there. This freaked me out a bit. Due to their proximity, like all neighbours, the Swedes and the Danes apparently don't like each other all that much, but it doesn't stop the Swedes coming over on the ferry to buy their beer - all I can say is, beer must be VERY VERY expensive in Sweden, cos it ain't cheap in Denmark. The Danes apparently all go to Germany to get their beer. Crazy beer economy.
On the way back to Copenhagen, we stopped in on the Louisana Gallery of Modern Art and saw their Matisse exhibition - it basically rocked. The gallery has some really cool paintings and sculpture. I saw my first Picasso, Matisse and Warhol.
