yes we have a bridge between Sweden and Denmark. You can drive your car to Denmark very quickly

You can also drive to Germany if we want to.

Really, that's great! Is the bridge a new thing or has it been there for a long time? I always remember having taken the Helsingor-Helsingborg ferry when travelling from Sweden to Denmark and back. When you say you can drive to Germany, do you mean over that bridge to Denmark and then driving through Denmark, or are there more new bridges?

its kind of a new bridge, maybe a few years old. From sweden to denmark and if you dont want to drive your car you take the train and the train goes under the cars. So two choices for you, I dont think the ferry exist anymore.

here are photos and you can also find information in english

Here you see a M6 posing with the bridge

i have travelled alot with my parents and some if not the best beaches and water i have ever seen is in St. John in the US vigin Islands. It can get touristy there if you dont know when to go. We also have a 2nd house down there and that makes it real nice. It is a tiny island and not much to do besides eat good food and spend time at the beach or on the water.

Wow! That is one long bridge, just a bit short of 8km or 5 miles. And the best part is that it is a straight shot from Malmo to Copenhagen! I remember driving from Copenhagen to Helsingor, there was some summer castle for the Danish royal family on the left going to Helsingor. It was a nice short drive, but still a little distance to travel. I guess the last time I was driving there was in 1978. So, no wonder I have some news to catch up with. That is truly convenient, and making the world smaller again. To me that's a good thing. Seem to remember it was another 600km to Stockholm from there. But the scenery always made the trip very pleasant. The Swedish countryside looks so peaceful (just like the Finnish countryside) and so well kept and neat (not always true in Finland - or, maybe I just know Finland better). And a couple of real nice idyllic towns on the way, with nice restaurants aptly equipped with lovely swedish girls serving great Scandinavian food politely with a smile.
If I was going on vacation, that sounds like the trip I'd like to do again.

BTW, that M6 looks sahhhweet!!! Is it yours?

You are lucky to have a 2nd house there. Never been anywhere in the Caribbean myself, but some family members and people I work with have been repeatedly to St. Johns so I've seen a ton of pics and heard descriptions. Sounds fantastic!
