I think 9 days is a good amount of time for driving, in Finland. A day or two in Stadi at the beginning; three or four days to the north: Tampere, Kuusamo, (... Kemijärvi ... Inari ...) Rovaniemi; and then three or four days back: Oulu, Jyväskylä. Maybe go across the border at Pello and come down through Haparanda, just for kicks. Lots of possibilities. Even Rovaniemi will still have the Midnight Sun in early July, and anywhere further north is even better.
Ok, maybe I misunderstood, I thought kmandrew wanted to see the most scenic parts of Norway along with Helsinki.
