Hamlet's Castle and a Side Trip to Sweden

Hamlet's castle Helsinger Denmark

My mother was very into all the literature types of things so of course we had to visit Hamlet's Castle. Her note says "Very interesting - take sturdy shoes"

When we went to see Hamlet's castle in Kronborg in 1950, we discovered that we could almost see Sweden and there was a ferry that went across. We had planned to visit ten countries, but when the ship was a day late, we missed going to Luxembourg. If we took the ferry across, we could pick up an extra country and make a round ten countries for our trip.

There are still frequent ferries across, and the trip takes only 20 minutes. According to the website:
All the Helsingborg Ferries have been recently modernised to high standards and are equipped with all the latest facilities such as restaurants and bars, spacious lounges, Cafes, toilets and disabled facilities.
