Scandinavia itinerary 2002

It is a nice and long journey and we almost never stay in one place more than one night. But probably we won't have much time for cities like Stockholm, Helsinki and Oslo. We have booked already, but the next time we would have rather planned an itinerary ourselves.
In the end we had driven 11,267 kilometers!
