Scandic Region - Denmark and Sweden

First I managed to catch a train going to the wrong city...


To rectify my destination woes (I was in Helsingor by mistake), I hopped on a ferry to cross into Sweden to arrive at Helsingborg.

One thing I noticed is that people here are on average much taller than a run of the mill Canadian.

Oh, and I met this eccentric/odd/tired old woman on the train who was searching for her family's lost estate. The "House of Vigor" or something, a large white castle/mansion that her grandfather defended from the Nazis. She is supposedly an heir to a royal family in Denmark. More on that later. But first: She had a very odd way of slipping the word "Dichotomy" into every third sentence.

Haha, dichotomy.

Yeah, one of my aunts was trying to convince the family for a while that T____s were descended from Norwegian royalty.

When in reality, it's just the name of some farm.
