Not so rotten in the state of Denmark!

The title is a twist on a line from Shakespeare’s most famous play, Hamlet. We have a brilliant, cloudless sunny day as I drive the 40 minutes to Helsingor Castle, renamed Elsinore in the famous play. While Hamlet was fictitious the castle is anything but is larger and more majestic than I imagined.
