Helsingør, Denmark

We rode the train to the king’s old castle and we journeyed around the palace. We went upstairs, downstairs and even on the roof! This castle was where William Shakespeare’s Hamlet was set so it had a lot of “To be, or not to be” stuff. There was a second floor, first floor, cannon floor (although there were no cannons), and the gift shop.

Then we went to Louisiana art gallery and we went down a super slide, ran down a massive hill, looked at art (the boring part) and we made clay sculptures.

Then we got lemonade and headed home to play some Greed (somehow Miles won both times) and we also played Hearts (in which Miles rage quit because in the first round he got the queen of spades and in the second round he got the queen of spades again).

This organ was completed in 1843 by Marcussen & Reuter. I could not find anyone who would let me have a turn.

If Hamlet had been set three hundred years later, it presumably would have concluded with a spectacular organ recital. I will research some Danish organ composers upon my return.

I went to the Kronborg Castle and I got to see the cannon tower. There was a good view I also got to see the grand ballroom. And there used to be giant feasts that went on for about 2 days.

In the cannon tower there are cannons so old that they don’t even work.
