Elsinore Slot ### The Castle of Elsinore ### Helsingør Slot/Schloss

Facing west:


You guys all know the story of Hamlet, right?!
Well Börn Afzelius has a slightly different version:
This is one of the most beautiful, passionate Scandinavian folk-pieces!


Facing north-west:

Those pics were taken a few days ago - on the ferry between Helsingborg (Sweden) and Helsingør (Elsinore, DK)


Facing south-west:

Rosenborg-slot (Elsinore castle)
and shortly afterwards we're about to dock

Total action on the water! ¤¤¤ DIE ETWAS ANDERE ÜBERFAHRT...


That was a really weird trip!

DIESMAL WAR WIRKLICH WAS LOS


First of all: look at all the action on the water.

- AUF DEM FEHMARNSUND!


I have never seen the strait this busy before!

JEDE MENGE SCHIFFSVERKEHR


And then: check out the weather!!!

UND DAS WETTER WAR GANZ BESTIMMT AUCH NICHT LANGWEILIG!


I mean: totally dramatic and strange! You think you're up north, on the arctic ocean! LOL!

MAN KANN KAUM GLAUBEN, DASS ES SOMMER IST!


It was actually the afternoon of a warm summer's day - not far from our farm in Denmark!

DOCH ES WAR WARM UND ES FIEHLEN NUR EIN PAAR TROPFEN...


You wouldn't have guessed that, would you?!

However, not too much rain fell on our heads and we had the deck all to ourselves!
And it was really interesting to see all the activity in connection with the new bridge - in spite of the building work not having started at all. I think they're not even at the drawing board... lol!

Anyways. a boat trip is always an experience, you never know what you see or what happens - even if you've done it a million times before!

DIESE BILDER ZEIGEN, DASS EINE SEEFAHRT IMMER EIN ERLEBNIS IST - EGAL WIE OFT MAN SIE SCHON GEMACHT HAT UND DAS SKANDINAVISCHE GEWÄSSER MANCHMAL GANZ SCHÖN NORDISCH SEIN KÖNNEN, AUCH WENN MAN SICH NOCH WEIT SÜDLICH DES POLARKREISES BEFINDET!

Quick evening meal ### SCHNELLES ABENDBROT


Fresh strawberries, warm waffles and a couple of savory sandwiches...

FRISCHE ERDBEREN AUF WARMEN WAFFELN MIT SAHNE UND MEHR ERDBEEREN UND KIWIS...


You can tell those guys have a sweet tooth...!

UND DANN NOCH EIN PAAR BELEGTE BROTE!


MAN KANN SEHEN DASS DIESE HERREN SÜSSES LIEBEN!
