NOTES:

We have travelled with car and tend; camps in these countries are very comfortable, with a room with use of kitchen, hot water and often also a sauna; howewer they are very cheap. Whereas life is expensive, chiefly the gasoline.

Place absolutely to visit: Copenhagen, Lake Vättern, Stockholm (to my mind one of the best city in Europe), Uppsala, Alta, the islands Lofoten and Vesteralen, Trondheim, Lillehammer, Oslo, Göteborg.

The best time to visit these place is the end of July, when in the north there is the "midnight sun" and it isn't raining.

Have a good journey!
