Round the Baltic - the other way!

I am sitting on a campsite in a forest beside a lake not far from Arnhem in the Netherlands. It rained pretty well non stop on our journey today, from Bremen in Germany, and it has increased in intensity since we arrived at the campsite! I guess we can't complain as it's the first real rain we have had in nearly 7 weeks of traveling, but the noise is a bit intense on Helga's roof and I just hope that the pumps are all working that maintain the Netherlands as dry land! After a day visiting Copenhagen, by bus from the campsite that we eventually found north of the city, we moved over onto Fyn, the middle island of Denmark. This involved crossing yet another bridge, (and paying yet another toll).

When we set off, Holly, the satnav, told me to head north on the E20 and it was a few minutes before I realised that she was sending me to Helsingborg to catch the ferry over to Denmark. I had left the satnav set to avoid toll roads and she clearly thought it was preferable to pay a ferry fare than a bridge toll! We did a u-turn, when possible, and navigated ourselves onto The Bridge. A beautiful clear sunny morning and the views were spectacular. No bodies and no sign of the Malmo or Copenhagen police but otherwise a good journey. So where have we been in the last few days? Well Sweden is certainly a long country when you travel it from North to South and an amazingly large amount of it is covered with forest! Eventu...
