Overland to Scandinavia and more!
Spring 2017


Hundested (Denmark) to Rydaholm/Furen (Sweden)

08:00hrs this morning, and we set off from Lynӕs Havn to catch the ferry from Helsingør to Helsingborg, but first we had to manoeuvre around the chicanes in the Yacht Haven village and then drive the 35 miles to Helsingor……



As we come down to the harbour in Helsingør we see the control building for the sea and port area……



Then up to the check in point to get the OK to continue as there is now no boarding ticket issued, but you do have a security check and passport control after checking in and before you board the ferry……



Next we once again get into the correct lane as the ferry unloads the vehicles after just arriving from Helsingborg……



Then a few minutes later as the light turns green from red at the side of our lane off we go to get onboard.....



As we then set off and leave Denmark behind……



Kronborg Castle which we keep missing to go and have a visit and see what it’s like up close!......



Another ferry line going back and forth across the stretch of water…..



15 minutes later and the harbour entrance is in our sights, time to head back to the car deck!......



As we disembark we follow the road around for a Security Check as we enter Sweden while the officer we spoke to was also interested in the UK Registration Plate on ‘Flamenco Red’ as she had never seen a UK Number Plate before!......



Past the City sign and this time we did not go through the city centre but around and onto the main Helsingborg – Stockholm E4 road.…..





Then as we didn’t have any Swedish Currency as the exchange rate offered on the ferry from the ATM was terrible we took a short trip to a Swedish Bank and their ATM down these roads into the ‘Kommune’…..





That’s me as I managed to use the ‘Plastic’ as the Crowbar kept bending as I stuck it in the slot! OMG!!!……



As we made our way back to the E4 we see this very LARGE American car with its own Gas Station!! Mind you with the size of the thing I guess it doesn’t get very far before it needs a refill?......



The ‘Grounded’ Ex Flying Restaurant! Does an excellent ‘Flying Bacon Sandwich’! Oink Oink.....



Strange ‘Road Sign’ as a Territory Marker!…..



Now this ‘Model’ is quite possibly the only one we will see on this trip. It’s a Moose (In wood)……



Nice clear roads as there is not a lot of traffic up here......



OMG!!! Then we saw that ‘white stuff’ lying along the side on the grass!……



As it got thicker……



Just after all was back to ‘normal’ as we spotted this nice little house…...



As we came off the E4 and onto a side road that took us to a new place for us to spend the night……





Keep going we have around 11 miles of ‘Country Roads’ to navigate before we get there!......







Nearly there now!......



As we turn left into Stellplatz Skeda Strand that is by the side of a lake.
Facilities include Electric Hook Up (EHU), Water, Toilet and WiFi, BUT: No Showers or Chemical Toilet Dump, but they do have a place to drop your ‘grey’ water (Kitchen water)……



While if you want you can go down to a couple of places near the side of the lake, but there is no EHU down there…..





As we walked there a little later we could see we were being watched!......





Hopefully a nice peaceful night before we head off tomorrow on the next stage……
