I think it is a very good recommendation. But it is worth adding that Sweden is a big country.

Edit: spelling

[LarryMullins]

Eh, it's half the size of British Columbia. If you're visiting for more than a few days, it seems reasonable to travel across the country to see something interesting.

[baxtr]

The size of the Equator is zero. But getting around the earth requires a lot of time!

[LarryMullins]

Point taken, but Malmo to Karesuando is only a three day drive (assuming a modest pace, one driver, and good weather.)

[Ma8ee]

And that is reasonable if you think a country should be seen through car windows. If I have, say, a week to visit a country, I will definitely not use three of those days driving.

> but Malmo to Karesuando is only a three day drive

Which is a lot in Europe (e.g. driving from Warsaw to Barcelona would take about the same)

That makes it seem big, I don't think people realize just how far out places like Dease Lake, Dawson Creek and Terrace are.

And then going beyond, for days, outside of BC. My son and his girlfriend went to work for a few months in Eagle Plains, YT. I had thought of northern BC as a long ways away, but then plotted out their route that just kept going, and going...

It's just about the size of California.

But almost every international traveller will arrive in Stockholm, so it's not crazy to assume they'll be within range of Vasa.
