Saturday kilted

[GG]

Wow, I just realized I hadn't been in Europe for a while. The last time I was in Denmark I took the hydrofoil to Sweden.

The hydrofoils as well as the ferries betewen Copenhagen and Sweden disappeared year 2000 when we got this 20 km tunnel/brigde.

The bad thing:
For a one way crossing ypu have to pay what equal 45 US$. Three crossings or a Utilikilt - had it not been for duty tax, shipment, handling fee and on top of that 25% VAT, making it about 6 crossings for a Utilikilt.

The good thing:
On a sunny day it is a really beautiful trip - and due to a rebate system I only have to pay half the price. So no Utilikilt in sight.

Sounds like a good Saturday (except for the crossing toll!)!

If you don't mind going north there's still a ferry from Helsingor to Helsingborg.

Have you much experience wearing the kilt in Sweden? I'm just wondering because I'm hoping to get back there soon-ish to visit again and we all like to hike. I had hoped to go hiking in a kilt, and I don't mind modeling it for all hte people with their cameras

What have your other experiences been like?

True, there is a ferry connection from Helsingør (with the castle Kronborg, sometimes called Hamlet’s castle) to Helsingborg in Sweden. I have used it several times. Takes 15 minutes.
I have been in Sweden several times and then mostly north of Helsingborg. There are some nice small towns and an amazing coastline up to Gothenburg (the second largest city of Sweden).
Sweden is a most tolerant country in every respect. You can certainly walk kilted there without any problems at all, and certainly there shall be no “gatherings” to look at the “odd man in a kilt”.
