"To be or not to be," Fighting Knights, Arrows, and Sheep?

Last weekend, I went on several adventures through my Studay abroad program. Saturday included a trip into Elsinore and a tour of Kronborg Castle aka Hamlet's Castle. Elsinore was cute and quaint and a perfect location for such a beautiful castle! There is simply too much to tell about Elsinore... my facebook pictures have a more accurate portrayal of this great place. On Sunday, I went to Esrum Abbey, for some good ol' fashion middle aged fighting games and beer tasting.

This was a great little chocolate shop that had made a miniature Kronborg completely out of chocolate! Yum!

Walking to Kronborg.

Outside of the castle... why yes, that is Sweden in the background!

View of Kronborg from the inside, I don't know if that makes sense or not

This is where they Baptise children in the Kronborg church. Interestingly enough, this also used to be a bird bath of the famous Italian Medici family.

The following pictures capture me jumping out of my comfort zone. Seriously y'all. Fighting!? Sheep!? Shooting Arrows!? It was a great day and although I was a little hesitant at first, I am so glad I had these experiences.

Here I am, fighting the "knight." He was intense, to say the least.

When all the other sheep ran away, this little guy stuck around to say hello, even in the snow!

Here I am, after my great shot!

I don't know if you can see it from this picture, but yes, that is my arrow on the left side of the target!!!

Group øl: 2nd place in the middle ages fighting competition!

Great Abbey Ale! Terrific to end an awesome weekend!
