S-tog om søndags

"S-trains on Sundays"

On the first Sunday of every month, the S-trains are free. I had not taken advantage of this fact until today. The two Polish Marcin's and I went to Frederiksborg Castle in Hillerød - about 30km outside of Copenhagen. It was such a beautiful castle! And the weather today was perfect.

In Denmark, the weather has still been a little sketchy - some days it will be nice and sunny and then others it will be cold and rainy, like yesterday. Yesterday it was May 1 which is Workers Day in Denmark, and everyone gathers in Faellenparken in Copenhagen for a huge celebration. There were thousands of people there, despite the cold weather and the rain, and tons of exhibitions, including a giant bunny bouncer.

Anyways, Frederiskborg Castle was beautiful - it was surrounded by water, like any good castle. The ceilings were more elaborate than most I have seen, and everything appeared to be made of gold. It was truly a magical place, and there was even a wedding that took place while we were there!

Marcin also liked the ceilings in the Great Hall

Wedding - look to the far right. The groom is in a white tux and the bride in a white knee length dress.

The gardens were also magnificent. We decided that we would have to return just to spend a day in the gardens.
