Sweden: Land of Rocks an Trees

During Easter break I did many things including taking a trip to Sweden. My host family has relatives way up in the middle of the country, so we set out early on Sunday. First we drove two hours to Copenhagen. Here we took a short stop so I could see the castle where the royal family live in the winter. Here are some pictures:

Once we were finished looking around we drove the car onto a ferry and got out for the 20 minute ride to take some more pictures. This is my first sighting of Sweden:

Once in Sweden there was nothing to take pictures of but the trees and the rocks.... I didn't take any pictures. We drove for 6 more hours before reaching our destination. It was fun enough while I was there, we were staying with my host dad's sister's family. His sister is married to a Swede so it was a bit fun trying to figure out what he was saying. I've decided that if you take Danish, forget how to spell, add a few weird words, and have a Spaniard speak it, then you will have Swedish. Other than that I just read, watched TV, and played some games with my 'host cousins'.

Wednesday we packed up, drove six hours, and ferried until we were once again in Denmark. This time on the way home we stopped at the castle that was the setting for Hamlet! It was probably the best castle I have seen in Denmark. Here are some pictures:

This is one of the 'must sees' in Denmark!
