We picked up our Toyota C-HR and started to navigate our way out of Oslo, which was actually quite easy. Signage was good and the traffic was not chaotic at all. Pretty much on a freeway almost instantly, and we were going well until I veered right! We managed to get ourselves back on track and from there it was plain sailing. We discovered that most towns are bypassed, and there are very few options on the freeway for food and drink. As such lunch was from...

Our train trip from Goteborg to Oslo was very pleasant. Once I had stowed our luggage to the satisfaction of the ticket inspector. Fast, clean and efficient. Our hotel was pretty much in the centre of the city. Sort of like an upmarket hostel but it fitted the bill. Oslo was certainly much busier than Copenhagen. Constant movement of people on the street. We had a stroll around the immediate area. It certainly had a feeling of some affluence. The Opera House is a...

Malmo is a mixture of the old with the new. Cobblestone streets, 17th century architecture, mixed with a modern feel in buildings and quite a buzzy atmosphere. We walked through some beautiful gard...

After about 40 odd hours of flying and airports via Singapore and Helsinki we finally arrived on Copenhagen. A former exchange student of mum and dads, along with her husband, picked us up from the airport which was a lovely way to arrive in a new country. After a quick lunch they dropped us at our hotel. A quick nap was required before we went on a little exploratory tour around our local area. Copenhagen has a typical European feel,, with the architecture b...
