NORWAY - Road tripping across the BEST country in the WORLD for VAN LIFE!

FACING MY FEARS.. THE LONGEST ROAD TUNNEL IN THE WORLD! (Van Life Norway)

This week Lou faces her ridiculous fear of tunnels, as we drive under the longest road tunnel in the world!! In fact we end up going on a bit of a Norwegian history tour of it's road system, with a fascinating hike across Vindhellavegan visiting a well kept ancient road!

Norway has some of the best hikes in the world, and although this one isn't as famous as perhaps Trolltunga or Pulpit rock, it's definitely interesting!

Join us as we road trip across Norway in this vlog where we are driving and seeing what we find along the way.
If you've ever wanted to know how easy it is to wild camp and find motorhome services in Norway then this video covers all of that!

Hopefully you are enjoying this European travel series as much as we are and we are managing to show you just some of the stunning landscapes that France has to offer in this French travel vlog.
As usual, we have tried to include a bit of everything, some cinematic scenery mixed with our usual female van life foolery, we always love hearing what you lot think in the comments so do let us know, and as always, thank you for watching!

Follow us on our journey as we attempt to create a proper youtube travel series as we, two female travelers and vanlifers, attempt to travel across Europe in our rolling tiny home.

I don't think non vloggers understand how much it disrupts your day having to plant the camera, walk away from it, walk past it, go back an pick it up, catch up to where you were and repeat and then to do that on a bloody steep hill. I'm far too lazy, but that's why your vlogs are so good. Well done Lou.

Your cinematography and drone shots are absolutely amazing. But what really makes your videos so special is the two of you. You make me happy, you make me laugh, you make me feel as if I'm right there with you. You guys are just too cool, keep doing what you're doing.

I've just discovered your channel and have been binging for the last 2 weeks. I make myself stop after 6 episodes a night! anyhow, I totally sympathize with Lou when it comes to tunnels. i tend to hyperventilate! But I also sympathize with Emily and her snack cupboard.... you tend to get the shakes when it gets too low. Loving your banter and the fact that you are so down to earth. If you ever come to Northern Ontario, Canada you will always have a place to stay here on our farm. AJ and our Molly could run the fields!

What was said when the tunnel was opened was that the wider areas with the blue light was to break the monotony. I think the fear was that people would fall asleep while driving through the tunnel. The road over the mountain, Aurlandsfjellet, takes about an hour more than going through the tunnel. It is one of those narrow switchback roads that we have some of here in Norway. I have driven it in a VW Polo. I would not like to drive it in a van.

Kiwi is a good choice for relatively inexpensive groceries. So is Rema 1000 and Coop Extra. Meny, Spar and Coop Obs are usually more expensive. Petrol stations are usually the most expensive choice

The wood on the stave churches is actually bog wood almost petrified, some thousands of years old, the peat in Norway is black so the colour of the wood turns black over time it’s the hardest wood around, and was used in or way to build from circa 2000 + years ago. Norway looks incredible and you two are cracking me up as usual, 😂 Thank you so much for sharing your VanLife with us Old Owl 🦉 Alaya UK.

very good vid and very entertaining better than tell a vision..

[MarisaMarcelo-xsun]

hello 😊just discovered your channel and just want to say thank you for the good vibes and the beautiful views and inspiration. Is a breath of fresh air seeing you both being just normal people enjoying your travels. Lost of love from Yorkshire ❤😊xx

Norway 🇸🇯 is a really a very beautiful country with incredible landscapes

[kathifoynm]

I protest! Not boring at all! I found this video absolutely fascinating. The tunnel, the church, the road/hike, the shopping, the tree house!! Plus your usual lovely patter. Thanks for taking me along. See you next time.

[coleensonnenfeld]

Thanks for another great video you guys made this 70 year old woman living in maine feel like I was riding right with you and I love the tree that were on the house

[bennycrypto]

Lucky your not in the uk it’s hotter than the sun it’s self right now! Sweating massive balls and it’s midnight!

[The-DJ]

Congrats Lou on making it through the tunnel!! That uphill hike looked a killer, my legs were aching just watching it 😮

[daseteam]

Thank you, as always. Innuendos were thin on the ground today, until, that is, you said: "Pop, pop, pop, you can pop all over the place." It warmed the cockles of my German heart. Pop/Poppen is German for sh*g.

[lizscott]

I am going to send this to my brother who is a retired Electrical Engineer, who worked most of his working life on those tunnels.

[donquixote]

As a swede, I have visited Norway on many occasions. Both in my job and in private. Both in summer and winter. I can´t stress enough how beautiful Norway really are and how bad many of its roads are 🤭

[britasmith]

Glad you got to see a Stave Church they are so cool.

[Shasha-joiv]

Yes you've done it again! I'm sure the gorgeous landscape helps but this was really nicely produced. What I love about you two is that it feels like I could just be hanging with you two in the van while you talk. I like it as much as those narrations of other vloggers, as with you I feel like I'm really following you along, not just watching.
Anyway I totally felt that church comment lol. My girlfriend used to be an evangelical Christian and her whole family hates me for seducing her off the straight and narrow which is funny considering she put the moves on me, but alright. Considering my career is based on helping women stand on their own two feet after their religion (Islam, Christianity or Judaism, doesn't matter what flavor) told them they can only be a stay at home wife with no education or self-sufficiency they might be onto something, whoops!

Laerdal cuts under one of the most spectacular roads in the mountains.. called the snow road because it is only open for a few months. The 'mood' lighting is actually refuge areas..not places for selfies btw.

[PeterChelmsford]

Congratulations Lou driving through that tunnel, I could tell by the look on your face you didn't enjoy that. It must be the same look Emily has when she thinks she will run out of snacks. Looking forward to your next video. Take care of each other. 😁

[fjmark]

Fun fact and top tip LOL when you’re walking down steep hills like that don’t use the GoPro use the Drone Leave it hovering and tracking you down the hill and then you can fly back to you in spotlight mode without having to climb back up
