2nd to last day we Hamlet's Castle and The Viking Boat Museum

This is Kronburg Slot (Castle). Ol' William Shakespeare was supposedly here during this castle's heyday as a traveling actor.
As you can see, we had many rainy days in Denmark. Our home exchange host said he wasn't responsible for the weather, but apologized none the less.
Quite a place. It existed in full Danish glory when Denmark was the empire.This is the Danish national hero Holger the Dane. He is 600 or more years old and only sleeping in the basement of Kronburg Castle. The say that he will awaken when Denmark needs to be defended again.
After that we rushed to the Viking ship museum. It was a very cool museum that had many hands on displays and authentic boat reproductions.

Here Coke is making a nail in the blacksmith shop.
Viking boats of all sizes.
This is Coke at the front of a huge Viking boat they sailed to Ireland a few years back.
