    I love your enthusiasm.

    The goo.gl part is definitely a google map URL so I presume it is just a technical fault on google's part and they are way too big to be hacked etc!

    Also half a bridge http://goo.gl/maps/EOHlc

    I went to Sweden once when Ryanair used to call Malmo Airport - Copenhagen.

    And true to form OP, the first thing I encountered in Sweden was this bridge to Denmark (where I wanted to go in the first place).

    I was happy enough traipsing across this never ending bridge and trying to catch up on some sleep down the back of a bus going from one grossly expensive Scandanavian kingdom to another when suddenly, the sneaky thing turned into a tunnel.

    It was proof to me that you never know what to expect when you fly with Ryanair.

    I'm just glad I wasn't in the horrors that morning.

    Some feckin Bridge/Tunnel though.

    I just tried it and got a couple of nice bridges after 7 attempts.

    However I just zoomed out to the whole world, closed my eyes, swirled the mouse and dropped randomly.

    I got this beauty of a result! The Peterhof Palace in St Petersburg!

    I beginning to think this may not be random - just tried again.

    Slap bang in the middle of the Flavian Amphitheater in Rome.

    Denmark and Sweden are connected through a bridge, a great feat of engineering.
