Kronborg Castle

Well hey there. My fellow architect in crime Karina and I had both signed up for the DIS tour to Kronborg. It was so cool!!! We made it to the bus with seconds to spare before to departed along the coast to the town of Helsingør (Elsinore in english). I am so glad we caught that bus! We started off the day exploring the little town. It was so interesting to see the vernacular architecture of the town. So beautiful, colorful and historic (I assume). We were starving so we grabbed lunch at cafe Andre. Good choice by us. I am normally opposed to posting food pictures, taking them too but this was just too good to be true. This was my 35DKK ($7, so cheap for denmark!!) sandwich. 

After that we explored the town for a little while longer, 

Finally we made it back to the bus and set off to the castle! 

The castle was amazing. Its history complex and I highly recommend this trip to all future students! One negative. It was freezing, and believe it or not, 15th century castles are not heated. So now, I have a cold. But not to fear mom and dad! For I have friends on the pre-med track! (Eliza fix me!!) 

Now to do some research for my studio project which is re-designing Israel Plads checkout this example from BIG. and COBE
