Having spent a significant part of my time in both college and high school in lit classes, I felt owed it to Uncle Roy, Connie Shelnutt et al. to go see Helsingor, which served as the setting for Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The drive along the coast passes by some sizeable homes and handsome seaside towns, but the traffic is much heavier than before. Kronborg Slot is would be the castle that inspired Hamlet, and it’s clearly the biggest draw in Helsingor. There’s a slight drizzle as I pull up to the castle, which seems an appropriate setting. The castle is imposing but not particularly beautiful, though you can definitely feel the sense of history.
