From Styrso we sailed to Falkenberg and had some of the roughest water to sail through. Thea, the 12 Meter, passed us like we were standiing still, but we got some nice pictures.

Falkenberg was a busy very, protected port, but not especially memorable except for wind generators at the entrance and the dry dock facilities. We did find a nice resteraunt for dinner and they had a waitress who spoke excellent English so we had a great meal.
Here's a picture of one of the Dry Docks
From Falknberg we headed to Torekov which had a nice little harbor next to a little island which is a wildlife preserve. Torekov was a pretty harbor and people came down to the water for a swim in the morning and evening dressed in their bathrobes. After the swim they stop in one of the local pastry shops for a bite and a coffee.

Bathers headed home after morning coffee
From Torekov we went to Helsignor Denmark, home of Kronberg Castle. Watching the castle grow on the horizon was one of the most remarkable parts of the trip. Kronberg was the setting Shakespeare used for Hamlet. Once we got there we went for a tour of the town and found a Thai place for dinner. The next day we took a tour of the castle from the catacombs to the rooftop. The catacombs were lit with kerosene lanterns and were dark and damp - Perfect for catacombs!
