New day, new tour, new tour guide. Our first stop was to explore Kronborg Castle construction completed in 1485 for King Frederick II. It was a very strategic defensive location over looking the Ore Sound. The King would charge a passage fee to any ship that wishes to sail through the narrows. He was successful until Denmark lost the other side to Sweden. It is also know to locals as Elsinore. Shakespeare visited this castle which inspired him to use in description of scenes when writing Hamlet. A little playing tourist before meeting our guides and the bikes we will be using for the next 6 days.
