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.

EXCELLENT LUCID TRIP & YOUR MESMERIZING PRESENTATION.GREAT.

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.

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!🇳🇴💕

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.

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 🥰😍

Mange takk Pål! Vennine mine og jeg skal besøke Norge neste uke fra Kanada. Vi planlegger å kjører mellom Olso og Bergen. Vi er veldig glade at vi har funnet kanalen din! Love the local perspective and tips!

[ulftornert]

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! 👍

[blueplanettrips]

It's interesting that you mention North Dakota. Yes there are a lot of Norwegian people there. I live in neighbouring Manitoba (Winnipeg) just across the border from North Dakota in Canada. I've been down there many times visiting places like Fargo, Grand Forks, and Bismarck. We often go down there to shop and visit. The border into North Dakota is just about an hour drive south of here.
