Hi, that interested me, I know the area a bit, I've been to Norway 7 times, including once on a moped (49cc) from France, through Germany and Denmark, to above Trondheim. It was August and I hadn't thought to take gloves (a fatal mistake in Norway above 1,000m!) or boots (I bought rubber boots in Germany), or even a decent rain gear, and in 32 days I saw ONLY ONE day quite without rain, the one when I got home! I also spent (among other things) 6 weeks very far north, at the latitude of Hammerfest, working in a fish cannery. I crossed northern Finland by bus, but I never went to the North Cape or Kirkenes (by the way, what's the idea of visiting a Russian military base in Murmansk??? Russia should be avoided at all costs). I've been hitch-hiking a lot through Norway and Sweden, a little in Finland too. I know a bit about Rovaniemi, but the Father Christmas village, in my opinion, is just for tourists, it's pointless. By the way, I also went to Ireland once, I cycled between Cork and Killarney... Memories...
I missed Hammerfest but I plan to return to Norway and tour the far North for longer now that I know a little better what to expect! It seems that you had a good opportunity to visit and explore Norway for much longer than what I could afford! I’ve learned about Murmansk from history books and I wanted to see it! Enjoy your travels and thanks for watching and for your feedback!
@@gorideworld I guess Norway is like any country, the best is to avoid touristic places and stay with real people, the ones who don't look at foreigners just like at lemons to be squeezed. I once worked in a farm up there and in 6 weeks, I didn't seen one foreigner. It was such a shock to come back to Narvik and to suddenly meet hundreds of them... Have a nice trip!
