Before we crossed the Oresund Bridge/tunnel (£70) there was also a toll bridge in Copenhagen which although it accepted my card, no charge was made.  We camped in the centre of Stockholm at an Aires site with all facilities (Car park) under a flyover but at £25 and within walking distance of the city centre was a bargain, especially in Sweden.We then continued down the east coast and took the ferry (£131) to Rostok and on to Hamburg to visit the <a href="http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&sqi=2&ved=0CCEQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.miniatur-wunderland.com%2F&ei=tO-IVKXIJ4neapXagPAM&usg=AFQjCNEKWR-I1Lq3emVW9vWPImLXvTuFUQ&bvm=bv.81456516,d.d2s" target="_blank">Miniature Wunderland (model</a> railway museum). One day here was not time enough to see the enormous layout.  Then made our way home after four weeks away.The Aires book was worth the initial cost and my SatNav was indispensable especially in the country areas using the book's co-ordinates.Anorak??</blockquote>
