strangely enough, the ease of public transportation might actually have everyone appreciating their cars by the end of this trip. 12 hours and we got ourselves, our luggage, and three little kids on and off a bus, a train, a ferry, a train, a metro, a train, and another bus, with plenty of foot travel in between. i think we're all worn out.

we stopped in varberg, as promised from the last post, but only stayed long enough to eat lunch. no pictures. not much to say about it, except that if you find the kebab shack we went to, the pizzas are big enough to split between two people.
instead we decided to make our way to helsingør, denmark and see the kronborg castle. so we got off the train at helsingborg, sweden and onto the ferry for a quick voyage back to denmark.

new sword... new shields... thanks to j & d!
ah, and that's where my pictures stop, and it's after 12 a.m. here and my eyes are only willing to stay open long enough to get this published, so i will say goodnight. goodnight!

Car travel? No. There's no adventure in it, no excitement, no meeting of people, no sense of buoyancy, no chance to get up, stretch, explore.
Ask your sons what they remember of this trip five, ten years from now. They'll remember the bus, the ferry... Car travel? It's like you put yourself in a cage and you fire it off.
There's no question -- your trips sounds even more wonderful because of all that you did to GET there!
Agreed-- although you know how much I like my long road trips =). The train/bus/boat travel works for us (obviously) and I think everyone will look back on the transport part fondly because it did go so smoothly. I will be happy though, the day that we can travel with the guys and they are not so strapped to our backs, as convenient and cuddly as it is. They're getting heavy!
