From Copenhagen I was able to catch a train about 50km north up the coast of Øresund (the Strait) to Helsingør, a town of around 63,000. On the eastern most point, closest to Sweden, is Kronborg Castle.
The morning started out with a walk around the outside of Trinity College looking for a coffee, and ended at The Little Museum of Dublin opposite St Stephen’s Green (It has since moved).
I flew directly from Trondheim to Copenhagen, my first flight after a lot of trains. I think my taxi from the hotel to the airport cost more than the flight, the flight wasn’t cheap, but the taxi was exorbitant.
I got a train from the airport to a station close to the hotel and walked the rest of the way. It is a lot easier to wheel a suitcase along streets that aren’t covered in snow. It was not warm, but it was a lot warmer than snow-covered Norway.
Dinner on the first night was a ramen place just over the road from the hotel. I got crispy chicken and a bowl of ramen, I think with a drink it would have been close to $50AUD.
I am not sure why, but for some reason there were basically no rental cars available in Trondheim. I rang at least 3 places who all said they were booked out before getting a call back from the rental place attached to the hotel I was staying at. They managed to find me a car as long as I was able to pick up and return it on the same day. Not a problem, I just want to go out and back in a day.
