After touring the castle, we took a train back down to Copenhagen, where we eventually found the European Beer Festival, which was a giant tasting event. Kinda expensive, but really cool to try genuine beers from all around Europe. Didn't get any pictures of the event though, sorry. It was held at the Carlsburg Brewery in Copenhagen, in one of their warehouses. I got a kick out of their slogan, "Probably the best beer in the world."

Kronborg - Hamlets Castle
So we went into Denmark for the second weekend in a row. This time we took a train in Sweden up to a ferry which took us directly to the town with holds Kronborg, which is the castle that inspired Shakespeare to write Hamlet. We walked around the town of Helsingor, which the castle was in, taking in the sights and the views of the castle. We also toured around the castle and took a bunch of pictures. We also got attacked by geese, saw some jellyfish in the harbor, and drank from a pathetic, small fountain in the middle of the castle (the swedes stole the big nice fountain a long time ago).

Wow! That castle is beautiful! Those geese looked angry haha. And what was up with that kid in the green spotted sweatshirt with the plaid pants? hahahahaha. I'm still living vicariously through you btw. =] miss you!
My favorite is the photo of YOU! I'd give you extra credit in English for touring a Shakespeare site.
