Here you see a M6 posing with the bridge

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?
