Hamlet and Castles

Our optional excursion to Fredricksburg Castle on Friday was pretty fun and eventful- we took a train to a ferry to cross the Oresund to Helsingor, then a train to Hillerod where the castle is. The first city is where the ferry left and the second is where the ferry landed and where Hamlet's castle is: Helsingor and Helsingborg . Pictures of Hamlet adverts and the castle:
Tanya and I took too long at the Hamlet city and we missed the group on the train to Fredricksborg Castle, but we were able to figure out where we needed to go and how to get there without contacting anyone from our program- since Tanya's phone mysteriously did not work in Denmark. damn. Why did we take so long? well, after a leisurely lunch we still had about hour before the train left, so she went into a shop to find shoes, and I went into a shop to find jeans. And we succeeded, but late.
Here's my good reason: it was a Sally's, so I had to contribute! (picture will be inserted here)

The castle was gorgeous but the tour was a bit long- Tanya and I made it for the last half hour, but we were not sad to have missed the first 40 minutes or so. Gorgeous interiors:Sweet symmetrical garden behind:View from the gardens:
A bunch of us stopped at the JFK Pub to relax for a bit after the castle tour. Weird little place with a dozen portraits of the president and a giant stuffed eagle- plus one wall is bookshelf. Classy, but strange. We sat outside, as it was a ridiculously sunny and beautiful day.
As usual, we ended up returning through Copenhagen so we got some time to play around there again. We considered seeing the Harry Potter movie but we would have to wait for a long time before it started, so we went to dinner instead. So we saw it the next day, Saturday, instead. It was so good! I recommend it. The pacing was great and the action sequences, despite being all wand based, were pretty gripping. Plus the kiss that was hyped up and I believed to be a nothing kiss, a simple peck, ended up being a substantial half minute scene. Oh Daniel Radcliffe.

We are now at the end of our first module and my final paper is due tomorrow morning, followed by a skim-through of everyone else's papers and a critique-and-defend period in the afternoon. So, obviously, whenever I have work to do I am found online. Shazam. Time to finish my historical perspective and predictions of success for the European Union's new legislation about hazardous chemicals and their management and reduction.
