We drove down to Denmark at the start of April to visit Helsingør and Copenhagen. We would regularly take the ferry from Helsingborg, Sweden, across the Øresund (Öresund as we called it in Swedish) to Helsingør, Denmark. In Helsingør we enjoyed touring the Kronborg Castle, which we did several times. On this visit we coped with the wet snow. Helsingør, by the way, has been identified as the Elsinore of Shakespeare's Hamlet.

From Helsingør we continue to Copenhagen to see the changing of the guard at Amalienborg Palace and stroll along the Langelinie Promenade of Central Copenhagen.

On the Langelinie Promenade we enjoyed Copenhagen Harbor and saw the the Denmark Expedition Memorial, which commemorates the the Denmark Expedition to map the northeast coast of Greenland in 1907 and the loss of Danish explorers Ludvig Mylius-Erichsen, Niels Peter Høeg Hagen and Jørgen Brønlund.  |

Also on Langelinie is the Little Mermaid (den lille Havfrue) by Edvard Eriksen, depicting a mermaid becoming human, based on the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale.
