Northern Europe Part 2 FIN, Northern Norway, Central and Southern Sweden
3 months with 2 dogs and 4x4 almost self-sufficient through Northern Europe.
Conclusion of the 2nd part: drive fewer kilometers. Not only to save immense fuel costs, but also to be able to better enjoy the really beautiful places. Because even three months will eventually become too short. Especially when you have so many periods of rain and you have to constantly cancel hiking routes or beach recreation because of constant rain.
We read a lot about mosquitoes in Finland and Sweden but had no idea of the truth. OMG!
Our newly expanded Womo definitely needs to be rebuilt. Less comfort for the dogs and us, but it needs to become more workable when you're stuck in your car for days because you can't get out (also for our planned winter tours to Norway). Either because it's raining or the bloodsuckers are waiting for you.
Personally, we didn't like the south of Finland and Sweden at all. We are apparently Lapland fans. It's the same in Norway (we've been there 4 times). But the south of Norway at least has glaciers to visit or high mountains to hike. Which would be great for Finland if you have a boat or kayak with you. You can cruise there for days.
What saddened us as die-hard fans of Norway is the mass tourism that is now taking place. We were there for the first time in 2005 and there were already a few WOMOS on the road, but now it's pushing and shoving through the narrow streets. Every parking space is filled with rubbish and told... that you have to look for a place to sleep (including a campsite) at noon in order to have one in the evening that is not next to the main road. Norwegians have always been a friendly people. This year they were just pissed off and aggressive towards tourists. What I understand from their point of view, if I live there and people litter my living room (beach, driveway) and park.

Lighthouse. Southernmost point of Sweden. Not to compare with Lindesnes Norway.
Those were the most unnecessary kilometers driven. Looks nothing alike, no parking and is on a golf course. The balls fly low and hard. Enter at your own risk! If you take the walk out onto the peninsula you might see seals. It was too hot for us that day.

The cathedral is still within walking distance to visit. It's busy and parking is scarce nearby. You can also go to the beach right next to it.

Lighthouse. Southernmost point of Sweden. Not to compare with Lindesnes Norway.
Those were the most unnecessary kilometers driven. Looks nothing alike, no parking and is on a golf course. The balls fly low and hard. Enter at your own risk! If you take the walk out onto the peninsula you might see seals. It was too hot for us that day.
