When I ask Michael to describe our day at Frederiksborg slot he truly had trouble putting it into words, for as I have maintained throughout my time in Copenhagen it is impossible to completely capture the feel of being in places of such extravagance. With its baroque gardens, windy paths around scenic lakes, and fountains which seem to tumble from endless heights, the grounds of Frederiksborg alone give one the impression that Michael should be clothed in a doublet and tabard. As for myself, I can only imagine strolling down the gorgeous gardens paths with a gown, and a light umbrella to offer protection from the sun.
Back in reality Michael and I were not wearing clothes of the time, but we still thoroughly enjoyed the gardens of Frederiksborg.
I have now seen Frederiksborg garden five times throughout the year, but nothing quite compares to this garden in springtime. With the garden clothed in a bright shade of green, and brightly colored flowers artfully placed along the paths, it is simply beautiful.
When it started to look like rain we headed to the castle for refuge, as I am sure countless others have done before. Michael had a wonderful time roaming the royal chambers, looking at items from times long ago. As always, I am able to glean new information no matter how many times previously I have roamed these halls. There was actually a section of the castle, the Audience chamber, that had not been open the previous two times I have explored the interior of Frederiksborg Slot.
After having spent over six hours in the castle as well as exploring the grounds, Michael and I headed back to Allerød. Needless to say it was another amazing day in Danmark!
Vi Ses!
