>>could you bring me back a swede, preferably the blue-eyed blonde variety.
...first time I went to/through Sweden (to Norway, actually, almost 40 years ago), I used the train (free, and first-class due to my railway "perks" ;-) ). Harwich/Hook to Copenhagen, Copenhagen to Oslo, Oslo to Bergen.
The Copenhagen to Oslo leg was overnight, by sleeper and the train ferry from Helsingor to Helsingborg. (I don't think the latter now takes carriages, but essentially the train was shunted in sections onto the boat and carried across on the ferry, allowing you, at least in theory, to sleep through. Building the bridges changed travel practice big time).
I was gently awoken from my slumbers on arrival at Helsingborg by an archetypal Swedish blonde border patrol officer asking for my passport - I did wonder whether I was dreaming!
