Decisions, decisions and more decisions. Three countries in five weeks. In a car and towing a caravan, no longer dashing around in a smallish motorhome. Where does one start!
After we wave goodbye to our Netherlands' family we will travel through the top of Germany, and into Denmark with a couple of stops to get us started on the journey. We will island hop over into Sweden, via the tunnels and bridge, after paying very expensive tolls. After that it is a reasonable drive to Stockholm, with stops, and then we follow the road to Oslo. From Oslo we will drive to the south western part of Norway for a look at the fjords, which was the original aim of the trip, before we decided to have a look at the southern part of Sweden too. We aim to find a camping ground, which is reasonably central and then travel by car or ferry to the different fjords and places in the area. After that we will return to Oslo, then follow the western coast down through Sweden, with the final destination being Copenhagen, before returning to the Netherlands. It all sounds reasonable on paper of course.
We will have to load up the car with all our sparkling water, non alcoholic beer, wine and dry and tinned food, as these are very expensive countries. We need to save our money for ferries and museums and for some dining out too, at lunchtimes.
And we must remember to take all our stylish clothes. According to the Lonely Planet, people are very well dressed in these countries. It is important not to stand out too much.
Mind you, it is more likely to rain, and we will have to wear raincoats all the time. We still have strong memories of our waterlogged trips through central Europe in June 2013 and through Germany and France in June 2012.
Exciting times ahead!
