On our last day in Sweden, we drove up the coast to Helsingborg. We discovered that there was a castle across the water, in Denmark, called "The Hamlet", the inspiration of Shakespeare's play. It's origins date back to 1499. So we boarded a big Scandlines ship... a ferry... but it was huge... to cross the channel and explore. It took us to Helsingor, Denmark. This crossing point is the closest Denmark and Sweden come to each other. This is what our ship looked like.
The front of the boat would open to allow the cars, motorcycles, bicycles, and even big tour buses in and out.
The Hamlet came into view...
Helsingor is quite picturesque.
After visiting the castle, we walked around the town. Christmas decorations were already going up everywhere.
We found the ultimate gingerbread house.
When we got back to the Helsingborg side, we checked out the tower in the middle of the city. It was closed, so we couldn't climb to the top, but it was still amazing to behold.
The next day we went back to Copenhagen to catch our return flight to Germany. Marty picked up a new car in the airport. Nice huh?
I kid =)
