From the shadows of the trees we could see movement, then across the grass leading up to the Royal Palace we could see figures. The deer were out and about. We have a place near to where we live called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wollatonhall.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wollaton Hall<\/a> (as seen in the more recent Batman Movies), which is also has a deer park. I vaguely remember seeing the odd dot in the distance there, and assuming it was a deer, but here they were everywhere. Sadly the light was growing dim so most of the photos were blurred, but it was truly amazing and an honour to get so close to these magnificent creatures.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_24575\"

the trains stopped running or I just fell asleep, but I didn&#8217;t notice them) this morning we went for another walk around the park to see if we could capture the deer in a better light. It was still grey and overcast, and what deer we did see were all sitting down among the trees &#8211; it looks like we were very privileged to have their company last night. As I moved in closer for a picture of one I could hear a tapping noise next to me, turning around I spotted a woodpecker on an old tree.

After the big drives of Norway, Sweden and Finland it was nice\u00a0to reach Helsing\u00f8r in just over half an hour. Stopping off for fuel it was a bit of a nasty shock to have a 1.4% surcharge added to the price because we were using a foreign credit card (0.89% added for locals using credit cards). Luckily we had shopped around to find the cheapest station, and that fee was less than we&#8217;d be charged for using our debit card abroad. We haven&#8217;t tried our Caxton FX card, and don&#8217;t think we will, as that will incur a fee too.<\/p>\n<p>Stopping off\u00a0at Lidl we are back in the land of normality; beer of all strengths, wine and spirits are back on the supermarket shelves! We haven&#8217;t seen this since the Baltics. Of course we made the most of it, and grabbed a few beers at \u20ac0.93\u00a0a litre (under Jay&#8217;s self-imposed euro a litre limit that he set back in 2011) and a bottle of wine for me at just over \u20ac4. A one litre carton of wine was \u20ac3.50, so we only got one &#8211; we&#8217;ll be in cheaper countries soon enough.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_24599\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24599\" class=\"size-large wp-image-24599\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_20161013_130649301-1024x576-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Lidl Helsingor Denmark\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_20161013_130649301-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_20161013_130649301-1024x576-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_20161013_130649301-1024x576-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-24599\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Unhappy Jay.

You can walk around the outside for free, but have to pay to go inside. So of course, we didn&#8217;t bother going inside. The castle stands on a headland surrounded by high brick walls. Just four kilometres across the \u00d8resund straight is Sweden, you can almost see people on their balconies. On the land side of the castle, huge fortifications were built up over the years to prevent invaders from sneaking up on them, I&#8217;m sure they were really effective and they make for a really great pattern from above. Sadly the only sign of Hamlet ever being here was a skull we spotted through a window of a shop &#8211; alas poor Yorick!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-24584\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC02984-1024x512-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"Kronborg Castle Helsingor Denmark\" width=\"620\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC02984-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC02984-1024x512-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC02984-1024x512-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-24585\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC02988-1024x768-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Kronborg Castle Helsingor Denmark\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC02988-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC02988-1024x768-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC02988-1024x768-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC02988-1024x768-174x131.jpg 174w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC02988-1024x768-70x53.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-24587\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC03007-1024x768-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Kronborg Castle Helsingor Denmark\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC03007-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC03007-1024x768-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC03007-1024x768-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC03007-1024x768-174x131.jpg 174w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC03007-1024x768-70x53.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Walking around we found a load of the gargoyles lying on the ground.

We&#8217;d already done a lot of it, but finished off with a few more streets and alleys around the town. We circled a church twice to try to spot the English cannonball lodged in an arch from a ship on its way to the battle of Copenhagen in 1801 (it&#8217;s inside, as we later found out). The rest of the town was much nicer than we expected. It did have a lot of shops selling booze, as well as pubs and cafes, because the passenger ferry to Sweden does a roaring trade for those wanting cheap(er) booze from Denmark. Having already stocked up, we could happily wander round and enjoy the place.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-24593\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC03036-1024x768-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Helsingor Denmark\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC03036-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC03036-1024x768-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC03036-1024x768-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC03036-1024x768-174x131.jpg 174w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC03036-1024x768-70x53.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_24592\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24592\" class=\"size-large wp-image-24592\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC03033-1024x768-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Wine and Beer Helsingor Denmark\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC03033-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC03033-1024x768-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC03033-1024x768-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC03033-1024x768-174x131.jpg 174w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC03033-1024x768-70x53.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-24592\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">It&#8217;s even more expensive here!<\/p><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-24596\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC03042-1024x768-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Helsingor Denmark\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC03042-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC03042-1024x768-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC03042-1024x768-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC03042-1024x768-174x131.jpg 174w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC03042-1024x768-70x53.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_24595\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24595\" class=\"size-large wp-image-24595\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC03039-1024x760-1024x760.jpg\" alt=\"Helsingor Denmark\" width=\"620\" height=\"460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC03039-1024x760.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC03039-1024x760-300x223.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC03039-1024x760-768x570.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/DSC03039-1024x760-70x53.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-24595\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Door of the day &#8211; this one is in a church and leads to a crypt, I guess they just post the coffin in?
