Denmark part VII - Elsinore
Blog: Sophie's World - 17 August 2009
On our way back north was my third World Heritage site, Kronborg Castle, Hamlet’s castle, in Elsinore. The town is actually called Helsingør in Danish, but Elsinore sounds so much more romantic, doesn’t it? Thanks to Willie S., no doubt, but also, just the sound of it: Elsinore!

We’ve just spent 6 days in Denmark. Alex begins Copenhagen University in September and we went to set up her apartment. But first a more thorough exploration of Denmark. Considering it’s the neighbourhood, it was long overdue. Also, I wanted to see Denmark’s three UNESCO’s World Heritage listed properties. (As you can see, there are [...]

Baltic Boating Part 1: Copenhagen
Blog: Bec and John in the UK - 24 July 2009
Quick! What are your first thoughts when we say Cruise Ship? Old people? Shuffleboard? Overeating? Expensive? Titanic? Probably not for you?Yeah, same here. But what if you found out about a cruise that went to a whole heap of places you wanted to visit? And had last-minute prices that were actually pretty cheap?
