Madness? Perhaps...
We're been invited to a friends holiday home in the Stockholm archipelago in August and are considering driving rather than flying. We're been 3 times before so are familiar with Sweden and the locale but haven't taken our own car into Europe, usually flying and driving.
It's a 1200 mile journey (one way!), so not for the faint-hearted I expect. We'd be two adults, a crazy 8 year old boy and a more crazy 18 month old Labrador. Cost and adventure wise it's attractive but I am a little apprehensive, it might be easier to kennel the dog, fly and get a rental.
Has someone taken a similar journey and can anyone recommend stops on the way or perhaps some common sense tips for the drive? I think we'd aim at doing it in two nights and my wife and I would share the driving.
Thanks in advance.
