if doable, I can’t recommend Norway enough. It’s a truly beautiful and spectacular place, mainly unspoilt and with a unique (for Western Europe at least) calmness about it, little traffic and such tranquility.
Norway certainly wasn’t cheap, but not as expensive as I expected from my research. Accommodation is of course one of the biggest expenses of travelling, however throughout Norway there are campsites and most have cabins/huts for rent, some en-suite. I used these on four occasions and they averaged out at 595NOK, about £45 per night. All had multiple beds, some cooking facilities and some general cleaning facilities. None of mine had en-suites, but toilet/showers were all on site. Note - quilts and pillows were provided, but bedding needed to be hired for a small fee. If I go again I’ll take a sleeping bag or a pillow case, sheet and quilt cover. I found these huts to be ok, no more! But, I traveled alone, I’m sure that the hut /cabin experience is easier with company. An earlier stop off at a supermarket and with a bit of planning you easily organise evening food and beer.
Hotels, I’ll post a pic at the end with each nights cost. Lowest cost are cabins, NOK is Norway, Euro is Finland, GBP is Sweden and the £134 is Germany. I should also point out that some of those hotel bills include beer and food. The 1800 certainly did, as did the 1443. Others also included food and drink, but I can recall which.
I’ve also attached a pic of fuel used and cost NOK and no currency is all Norway, euro is Holland, Finland, Germany, SKR is Sweden. In general, fuel was more expensive than the UK, but not by too much.
Inland ferries in Norway, a few pounds each, probably between £3-7. One that took 90 minutes was £18. All autopaid via the ferry pay site.
Beer in hotels and bars, cheapest was £9 a pint, dearest £13. Supermarket beer is significantly cheaper, however I did not use this option.
Food, coffee and cake stop (many), about £7-8 a time. Hotdogs are sold at almost every single fuel station and are very nice, I ate these often. Usually about £4-5 a pop. Don’t think UK hotdogs though, they’re much nice, bigger and more choice. Dining is usually a much less elaborate affair when travelling alone, however I did occasionally eat well and don’t recall it being extortionate.
