Having spent the day in Ishoy doing various jobs (including going up the mast for a check), we woke to a beautiful morning – sunny, but unfortunately a very light breeze. Today’s trip was therefore a motor rather than a sail, though Sod’s Law – a lovely sailing breeze sprung …
We managed to resist the temptations of the mini-golf at Flakfortet and set off just before 9am to Ishoy. The first stage was through the shipping channel past Copenhagen over the tunnel which runs part way across the Oresund. ‘The Bridge‘ of Danish crime drama fame actually only runs just …
We started with a leisurely morning. We had decided that we would go to the Tycho Brahe museum on Ven and that didn’t open until 11am, so we headed up there mid-morning. It was a lovely walk to the museum – around a mile and a half – and showed …
This morning we went for a wander round Helsingborg. Well, mostly we wandered. We did have a slight diversion where we sat outside the very nice Town Hall as we discovered that the town offered free wi-fi! Once we had downloaded all we wanted we wandered up to the Karnan …
Having done Helsingor (Denmark), we felt it was time we did Helsingborg (Sweden). They are about 2.5 miles apart at the top of the Oresund and marauding armies have spent a good deal of time fighting each other across the sound, so we thought we would head north again and …
A lay day today. Derek and Adie needed to head off to the airport around lunchtime for their flight and so Ric helped them out while Fiona and I headed into Copenhagen for a look round. First stop (apart from a cafe) was the Design Museum and then we wandered around. …
With Derek and Adie needing to get back home, we headed back to Copenhagen this afternoon. However, before heading back, we spent the morning looking around the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. The museum was directly beside the Humblebaek yacht harbour and so was only a five minute walk away. …
A tough day today! We started with a wander around Kronborg Castle. Today was the first day of the summer season and as a result, a troop of jobbing actors were wandering around the castle muttering lines like ‘To be or not to be …‘ and ‘ The lady doth …
A short and wet trip today from Langelinie Havn in Copenhagen to Helsingor – better know in English as Elsinore (from Hamlet fame!). The weather was not quite as forecast – we set off expecting a nice sunny day and got drenched. The rain started just as we left and …
We had a lay day today in Copenhagen and had a great day out to Roskilde. We caught the train from Ostport near the marina straight across to Roskilde and walked through the town to the cathedral. In 1020 King Canute (of tidal fame …) elevated the town to a …
