Hostels, are these easy to find? common?

Info about Norway and Sweden
Last year I visited Norway, Finland and Sweden. I made a report of that on my website;
Jan Krijtenburg homepage (Travel pages)

I had no problem getting fuel or find hotels or campsites.

Have a good trip.

Here you have absolutely no problems; there are several companies with several daily crossings and the prices are reasonable (1 person + bike around 45 eur). No pre-booking necessary.

Tallink Silja
Viking Line
Eckerö Line

I'm off to sweden on 24th. My 4th trip to Scandinavia, I love it. You'll have no trouble finding camping. If in doubt look on the map for a lake and there will probably be a campsite there. If the weather is bad get a cabin they're only £25-£30. It's as cheap as camping if there's 2 of you. I've only ever gone there in June/July before so I'm not too sure how cold it will get at night in September so I've planned for chilly nights. There is no problem with fuel I've taken a gallon can before and not needed it. From Stavanger I usually travel south and pick up the 45 at Algard. It's a great road and it meets up with the 9 to go north. Check out the "Scandinavia" thread for other routes and places to try.

I'm on the Bergen ferry on 8th Sept so may see you on the return.

Have a good one.
