Helsingborg/Sweden - 07/01/2013


Although Malmö was a very decent place, we are not eager to visit a city again. But we need to get some provisions especially fresh fruits and vegetables, before we head further north. And more important, we have no paper sea charts of the west-swedish skerries. In case that the electronic navigation devices breaks down, it would be very important in that area of granite rocks and islands to have the paper charts at hand. So being in Helsinborg is just a provisioning stop and we can not really tell anything about this place which might have nieces spots as well. But we recall our last year's journey when we stopped at the opposite side of the Öresund in Helsingnor and visited Slot Kronborg. We enjoyed our visit of the castel very much. The children were very much impressed by the story how Shakespeare came to write his Hamlet. He never visited Denmark nor the castel. But when it was newly built at that time, the news about its beauty and splendor spread fast and when it reached England, Shakespeare was so impressed and fascinated that he let his stage play of the unhappy danish price take place at the very castel.
