The third day took us over the Danish Islands firstly over the Baelt bridge where we worried the Danish Secret Service by pulling off the motorway into a restricted car park just prior to the Bridge itself – well it was a nice view and a splendid photo opportunity – the bulging suit jackets suggested we may like to continue so we took their advice and headed over the 70 metre high Baelt bridge on to Sjaeland. Quickly crossing the island we skirted Copenhagen , sniggering at the “Fart Control” sign as we went, before plunging in to a long dark tunnel. Hang on I thought we were going over the Oresund Bridge, as the sound of three Trevor Taylor, and a number of other, sports exhausts rattled around the tunnel, their owners dropping an enthusiastic gear. Not to worry as a few kilometres later we emerged in the middle of the sea to go straight up on to the Oresund bridge for the next few kilometres until we landed in Sweden. Finally having made it we were greeted by Hakan , his wife Eva-Brit and, another MGF enthusiast, Per-Ove. We were handed splendid “goodie” bags containing MGR memorabilia from Norway, including little tins of MGR M&Ms, and fantastic neckerchiefs which proved useful in keeping the sun at bay, once Eva-Brit had shown us how to tie them. They escorted us the remaining distance to Falkenberg stopping off for lunch at an old music hall, Torringelund, where we could take photos of the cars and the bus enthusiasts amongst us admired an old coach that also turned up. From there we headed straight to the Hotel Strandbaden in it’s great location right on the beach. The sun was fully out by now and thoughts of the rain on the first day had been left far behind. From now on it was glorious weather and a hotel room that opened straight on to the Beach. Having been greeted by representatives from the MGCC Sweden we parked the cars amongst the array of other MGs in the secure parking area and joined them in a buffet dinner on the first night.
