Helsingør Travel Blogs

Background: Once the seat of Viking raiders and later a major north European power, Denmark has evolved into a modern, prosperous nation that is participating in the general political and economic integration of Europe. It joined NATO in 1949 and the EEC (now the EU) in 1973. However, the country has opted out of certain elements of the European Union's Maastricht Treaty, including the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), European defense cooperation, and issues concerning certain justice and home affairs.

New Danish beginnings Though I have been in Denmark a fair few weeks now, I have only just gotten around to updating this blog for the first time since last year when I left Chile. The story is now unfolding in Denmark's capital, Copenhagen, where I will be studying for the next year. My aunt and uncle, who live just north of the city, have graciously welcomed me into their home, which will be my home also until May 2010. I'm slowly settling in and becoming more Danish by the day; I have a bicycle, Ikea furniture, and a CPR number. [View Full Entry]

Sunday morning and now I was starting to get used to the schedule, but thats not saying it was easy. The best part was that I didnt have to worry about making a lunch today! Benny pretty much gaurenteed the family would have something for us again. I dont know how he knew they were gonna be home, maybe he talked to them! He surprised this morning with something though. He got up early and put the Canadian flag up. Aww that was really nice of him. I asked him if we could do it last night but he said no [View Full Entry]

UP

Ahh Woke up bright and early kind of excited, but still a bit shocked at the early hour to see what was in store for me at work. It was pissing rain as it had been since I had made it to Kobenhavn yesterday afternoon. Benny had made coffee and laid out some things for breakfast for me. The night before he showed me some things that I could wear to work, including pants, his company tshirt, sweatshirt, and boots. He actually even gave me a hat that was way too small so I looked like a total goof. He brought [View Full Entry]

Our "Castles trip" was very nice. We had a good weather and everything went as planned. At 9.20 we hit the train to Helsingor, about 45 min from Copenhagen, the trip was partially along sea side. Then took a short walk to the castle, which we could see from the train station. There were two reasons we went to this place, first our own city is named after this city, and the famous Hamlet lived in this castle (not really). Every August on the courtyard there are performances of the famous play in all kind of versions including Japanise Traditional Theatre [View Full Entry]

Nos plans de train ont été pas mal contrariés. En gros, nous devons prendre le train un jour plus tard que prévu, donc nous devons trouver un autre endroit où pioncer. Nous venons de partir de chez nos hôtes de CS, alors nous devons trouver quelque chose d'autre. Nous avions demandé à quelques gens du coin ce qui valait le coup d'être vu autour de Copenhague, et plusieurs nous ont parlé de la ville Helsingor, à environ 2 heures de train au nord de Copenhague. Elle est apparemment sympa car là bas on est à coté de la mer, de forêts [View Full Entry]

Once we got to Helsingor, we looked at one hotel called the Marienlyst Slot that was recommended by the guide book. It was VERY expensive and under construction, so we decided to find another place to stay. I had done some research before we left and found a hotel called the Sleep2Night. We decided to grab some dinner in the city before heading off in search of a place to stay for the night. We had an excellent Thai dinner at Lemongrass Thai, but we were sad to see that there was nothing but restaurants open in town. We found the [View Full Entry]

After spending a day in Copenhagen (refer to the previous post), we decided to spend our 2nd day by travelling north to Helsingør, cross the sea to Helsingborg (Sweden), go south to Lund & Malmö, and then return to Copenhagen by train. Initially we wanted to get the "Around the Sound" ticket, which allows 2 days of travel around the Oresund region. However, at Nørreport Station, we were told that the "Around the Sound" ticket was only available in Sweden. In the end, we had no choice but to buy a single ticket from Copenhagen to Helsingborg (including the ferry from [View Full Entry]
