Can you advise best way to get from Copenhagen up to Oslo by car, and how long??
 

<BR>Hello - we leave for Copenhagen a week from <BR>today, will spend a few days in Denmark with <BR>friends at a special event, and hopefully drive <BR>(?) up to Oslo, then Bergen. We are doing this <BR>trip VERY spontaneously having just returned <BR>from Switzerland last Sat. 7-l8. We just decided <BR>to do this last night, and my husband was up at <BR>4 this a.m. getting the airfare (don't ask how <BR>much!), doing some research, talking to Danish <BR>friends, getting a car etc. We are familiar <BR>with Denmark, but have never been to Norway. <BR>Any advice on how best to get up there (and how <BR>long it takes etc.) is GREATLY appreciated. We <BR>leave next Thursday 30th to Copenhagen, and will <BR>fly out of Oslo (8-8 I believe.) <BR>PLEASE,:-) no lectures on advance planning!! We <BR>always do, but this just happened to come up. <BR>(weather advise appreciated too!) THANK YOU <BR>THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU ! <BR> <BR> <BR>

Cheryl, <BR>From Denmark to Oslo you have a few options, none particularly appealing. Ferry from Copenhagen to Oslo takes approximately 16 hours; from Fredrikshaven to Oslo about 10 hours. Motor route from Copenhagen to Oslo via Helsingor Denmark, Helsingborg, Halmstad and Goteborg, Sweden encompasses about 600 Kms by road, plus ferry time from Helsingor to Helsingborg

<BR>Wes, thanks for your advice. I knew I could count on one of the regulars!
