Arnold and Newlin: Denmark, May 1970

A second trip to Denmark in a month is a stopover on a longer journey down to southern (West) Germany. We take this trip when Hazel comes from Los Angeles and wishes to visit her ancestral German lands. We were happy to take her because she insisted on a higher class of hotel (and more expensive) than the family would normally splurge on) and for that reason she also paid our hotel bills. 

In Denmark we visit Frederiksborg in Hillerød, Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, Hans Christian Andersen's house in Odense, and briefly Roskilde.

Arnold and Newlin: Denmark, April 1970

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-ErichsenNiels 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.
