    Hi Pal, really enjoyed your journey. I'm 73 now and back in summer 1972, I traveled solo in Norway, having taken an overnight ferry from Newcastle, England to Bergen. Met some Norwegian lads on the ferry and we drank beer 'til the wee hours of the night. They wouldn't let me buy a beer, treated me all evening long. We were all in our early 20s. Once I arrived in Bergen, I was walking around the harbor and found a commercial boat that had a few staterooms for passengers and booked a trip into the Sognefjord. Wow, what an amazing experience that was! Such scenic beauty. The boat was loaded with goods for farmers in communities along the fjord that were only accessible by water, and I recall a couple of draft horses and a large farm tractor that were unloaded at a couple of stops by a crane on the back of the boat. We went all the way to Flam, then rode the Flam Train line up to the main Bergen train line. Amazing scenery! Got to the main train station in Oslo, then caught a train up north to Andalsnes, then caught a bus and ended up in a hostel in some community whose name I've long forgotten. I just wanted to get lost in Norway and see the countryside and experience the people there. It was a memory for a lifetime that I cherish to this day. You have one of the most beautiful and friendliest countries on planet Earth. Cheers from Lafayette, Louisiana, US.

    I've been a trucker all over Europe. I am Romanian, i remember years ago i got to do deliveries from Dk to Norway mostly Oslo area but i had a few going up north. Norway is by far the most beautiful country I've ever seen. I was working but driving my truck there was like being on a vacation. I need to finish building my house and after that I'll save money for a campervan and the first jurney will be from Romania to northern Norway.
  • This is awesome. Every journey in Norway is just breathtaking. Last year I drove from Egersund to Flatdal in the summer and it was really hard to drive because every single scene outside the car was completely magical. I took the straightest route possible and it took me across the mountains. The downside of traveling in Norway is that going anywhere takes a long time because there is no highway system in the entire country. But the upside is that while you drive you will basically be treated to an unending line of wallpaper type scenery anywhere you go.

    Sooo beautiful! The amount of work going into setting the camera, driving off into the distance, only to go back to pick up the camera. Again, and again... Superb drone shots too! This summer we're going hiking by car in these very areas! 👍
  • @LinaSemina
    I've been in Norway 4 times exploring and hiking in Bergen and Stavanger. My favourite place I always want to come back is Lysefjord and Flørli. The way from Oslo to Bergen by train is also worth to try!🇳🇴💕
  • My husband and I will be coming for the month of July this summer and will be staying in Sandefjord. I am so excited
  • @saeed20127
    Many thanks to you I've had done this trip last year in one long day , wish I've seen this episode before I did 😢 Thank you so much
  • @uhdons
    A road trip to remember! My girlfriend and i did this trip in October of this year. I will always cherish this experience.

    Breathtaking scenery. So clean. The food looks wonderfully fresh and delicious. The highway is so clean. No trash. No graffiti. Norway is a travelers dream. Not sure I could love it in the frozen winter, though.

    Just got back from Bergen after a weekend, Lovely clean city modern, friendly people.❤

    Norwegians are so lucky... to get to live in a place like this but to also be fluent in English, which opens up so much of the rest of the world to them too. I'm an American and I've always viewed Scandinavia as some sort of like paradise destination. Like, if you live there then you have "made it". I've never been outside of North America. Who knows, maybe if I did travel to Scandinavia then reality wouldn't live up to the unrealistic expectations of the fantasy I have built in my head, but I would love to one day visit and find out.

    Once again you set the bar so high I'm almost a little jealous 👏🏻🇳🇴 your storytelling skills is so damn good, and once again you show how you can tell a amazing story with carefully selected clips and good VoiceOver. I really like the way you manage to keep the sound quality with the voiceover and talking to camera so close. 🎥 And the way you go from one place to another with the map and great b-roll... well, from a videographer point of view, there is so much to like in this video. I had to see it twice, one just to enjoy and the other time just to take notes of the best part and look how you did it 🤣 Glad to see I could return some of the favour, and you made great use of the footage. really enjoyed this episode. And the Kistefos Museum is high on my bucket list. I would love to go down there in winter time to catch some great lights and showcase some of the beauty down there. Bravo mate, bravo 👏🏻

    Norwegians are the luckiest people in the whole world because they are born in Norway 😍 my biggest dream is to move to Norway and live there for the rest of my life 🥰😍
  • @jacruick
    How fun ! Hard to believe it has been 4 years since I toured there with you !
  • Did the Bergen-Oslo trip but on the train. View was awesome. We also passed-by the Hardanger suspension bridge when we drove from Stavanger to Geiranger last month. It really is a work of architecture marvel.
  • @momsel9378
    I drove this route many times with my truck and every time its still a plesure to drive this route. I could't think of a better job if i have routes like this.
