This will be my first bicycle tour, but my friend and co-cyclist is pretty experienced. Leaving plenty of time so we dont have to rush. Anyways, any recommendations of must do's along this trip? Places to stay?

Well be leaving Stockholm at the end of July. If we do well, thinking of continuing onto Italy. Im coming from Australia and are thinking of buying a new touring bike in Sweden, nothing too expensive though. Something similar to this which we have in Australia.

Any recommendations? Looking for between 6000 & 8000 SEK

Found one really good travelogue, thinking about using this as the basis for our trip (without the budapest leg)

Most definitely, go to that Abba Museum they have in Stockholm. If you can stay at that hostel with the boat in the harbor, ask to stay on the boat. Book now, since it seems to get crowded. I did like staying on that boat, even though it was February and stone cold!

I do know there's a big festival they hold in the summer in Stockholm. For the life of me, I can't remember the name, just that there's lots of beer.

There used to be one, yes, the Water Festival. But it died a couple of years ago.
Financial probs.
