How brilliant, I'm so happy for you both, seeing two young people exploring and enjoying themselves & loving life & all it has to offer! Savour every moment & embrace it full on no matter what it throws at you because believe me it will go just like that! Outstanding scenery.
I'm glad to see you're enjoying your journey again. You definitely appear more chilled and relaxed. We've got to see some more beautiful shots of this amazing country. Hope you have a wonderful time on the rest of your epic journey along the coastline.
Very cool view...very nice trip... The lakes and mountains are very beautiful and enchanting.... Great location for camping and photography activities... The lake is a must visit...very cool...
The name of the shop is perfect. The prices are indeed a joke. I spent as much money in Norway in 2 and a half weeks as 6 weeks in Chile (including flights). Both countries were an interesting reflection of each other and both wonderful.
Aww u missed out on my hometown Aalesund! Your up for a real treat going up north . Not only the scenery will change but also the ppl. Most norwegians are reserved and polite, Exept when u go north of Trondheim. Very outspoken and direct, its like our version of the Irish. A bit crazy, but all good. Be prepared for sosial overload. Challenge : stop at a normal family home north of Mo i rana and ask to take a shower...see what happens :) Big up for content and editing. keep up the good work and happy days
So great to see that you’re enjoying the sun, the fjords, the ferry etc and that Norway can show some off its best ways Bodø is definitely my favorite of all in Norway even though I’m Norwegian, Hope you will enjoy the trip, the scenery’s around Bodø, Steigen etc !
No need to worry about not seeing moose, if not in Norway, you will get them in the Finnish forests on the trip south. You will also see reindeer when you get further north.
Love following the daily's. We left this morning and got to Bruges for a Friday night beer. Hirtshals ferry in a few days. Where is the cool park up on 17 have to get SUP and drone out to play copycats. Thanks for sharing.
Hey! Enjoying your journey. hope I can follow your path one day. So much to see here in Norway. I have found filing up with fuel is best early Mondays. Weekends tops out, maybe to catch the weekenders. Laters!!
Quite a change of scenery from the fjords in the vest isn't it? There are actually a lot of moose along the RV 17, but only at night because it's very shy. And a usefull tip for you: wherever you see a church with a sematary, there are always a tap which is used for watering the flowers! I use that all the time when I'm traveling in my campervan. You are soon aproaching my home town of Bodø. I realy hope that you will be pasing the tidal current Saltstraumen at the right time to be able to experience the full force of nature. Sadly the wether forcast is not good for the upcomming days. So stay dry and drive safe! I'll be following your adventures in Norway. - Kristen.
7:08 to 8:12: Hey! That's my place! Shame you got here on a bank holiday. I am sure our shopkeeper Håvard would have been happy to assist you. Hope you enjoyed the awesomeness ahead! :)
You've probably figured it out by now, but the fuel price changes over the course of the week in a regular pattern. Generally, it's best to fill up on Monday morning or thereabouts, and it gets more expensive later in the week (Thursday's a bit of an exception, that's sometimes a bit cheaper too). I think it depends on when the deliveries happen, and the demand for fuel for weekend traffic. With the mileage you guys are doing, it could make quite a difference!
Just a little tip. almost all gym senters have what you call prøvetime. get a free trail at the gym for a couple of hours. then you can use the shower afterwards. If you want to see a mose. the best time is in the night/dusk . at large fields in the woodland area most petrol stations have free drinking water. just ask.
Feeling adventurous after watching ur vlogs. Can see myself following your path up north next summer. It will probably be in an electric car though from looking at the petrol prices recently 😆
Norway has more teslas than any other country apparently. Either way there are loads of charging points so I think you would be fine charging wise, I think you may even pay reduced tolls as well
@@LostInTransit Yes, half price on tolls, and ferry's with an EV And i belive we have the highest count of EV's and not only teslas. Electric prices used to be very cheap, down at 0.20 NOK/KW, but not in south, prices have been immens, upwards 7 NOK/KW at some hours.
Hinnøya where my home town is called harstad is beautiful. lots of places to hike and its Norways biggest Island. We have one of the biggest land cannons there where tourists can go up to it. We have a viking museum with a viking settlement made just some years ago and an amazing view out over the ocean. I think the north of norway has the best to offer when it comes to nature
I did my military service in Bodø, and travelled by train and car northwards many times. Btw. I live in a city and earlier today two deers run across the road about 10 meters in front of me. I love Norway!
Cost of fuel might be either distance from major city or cheaper mid week. Our fuel increases on a Thursday and large increase on public holiday weekends.
I live 1 hour from Bodø close to the Arctic Circkle in a place called Rognan, there is a beautiful WW2 museum here that is free and outdoors with old buildings! You should really come check it out! I'll come and show you^^
Great scenery. There is probably a video on RU-vid about a guy getting caught going to the loo in his van lol. What church in the south do you regret not going to and why? Great recording of beautiful scenery.
The stave churches are wooden churches built by vikings just as the started to adopt Christianity. They are covered in lots of carving of Christian and pagan images as the religions started to change over. They are amazing buildings and some date back to around the 12 century. Well worth a Google image search
Hi, I got the feeling that you mostly do "wild parking" which isnt really welcome. Weel, therefore you should try to find so called "bobil camping" parking spots. There numerous on Lofoten or even one Sommeroya. When you stay on smaller campground like the one in Stö it doesnt cost that much and mostly included WLAN and electricity and the main point, locals earn the money, its their income and you dont pay to international travel companies. In Stö you can also book tours for whalewatching, fishingtrip, raftboatriding, a trip to watch puffins, just ask the owners of this campside. On the lofoten stay overnight at Sandvika Camping and try to get the best spot of sunset I've ever been. After you checked in on the respction, pass the reseption keeping left up a hill, dont turn right, just drive further up the steep hill. There are places where the stones have been blast away for an amzing view up to the mainland. You will love the blue hour. Be in the raftsund between 2 and 3pm and watch the southgoing Hurtigruten ship on the closest part of this sund or, jump on a Hurtigruten ship in Stockmarknes up to Svolvear because only the southgoing ships take a turn in the Trollsund. You can buy tickets in Svolvaer Tourist info which includes the bus ride to Stockmarknes. Be carefull parking in Svolvaer it can be very expensive outside the parking spots. Make sure you do right cos traffic violences get fined very very expensive even you get catched driving 1 km over speedlimit start with about 70€. The dont know about tolerances.
Another terrific vid with breathtaking drone shots (again). Have you seen any whales or dolphins in Norway yet? It's my dream to see orca so fingers crossed you get to see them too.
They are not too expensive individually, we think around £15, but they will add up. They get charged to our toll account so we won’t find out how much we spent for about a month
Thank you, I think we are safe where we are now. Currently sunbathing on a beach in lofoten! (Couple of day ahead of the vlogs) Thanks for the heads up though
Most norwegians fill fuel once in the week to avoid the flux of prices. Mondays are often the day when the price is low. And you saw a sun halo. Now uncommon in Norway to see. For tap water to drink i would assume a gas station is the best option. I would not recommend drinking water from rivers in the bottom of the valley. You can get sick since you do not know if a sick animal died further up the stream, however that said, it is rare to get sick driking water from the rivers.
Moose are the same species as European elk, but American elk are not the same species as European elk (a moose). Nice and confusing. But yeah it is an elk/moose sign
In Norway, Just about all tap water is clean and drinkable (unless there is a special cause) And you should get water from gas stations, and other places that has a hose, as we mostly does not pay for the ammount of water on regular basis.
If you're canny enough to fill up when demand is low ( i.e. everybody is at work etc) you can usually get the cheaper fuel. Friday and Sunday evening are the most expensive times due to most of the population going to and fro their second homes or hutte in the mountains or on the coast. Lykke til
Kia ora guys hope all is well Norway is absolutely stunning love your journey thus far, I didn't know they had twig eaters/moose in Norway or even Europe for that matter iv seen them in Canada when I was there and they are quite scary and huge not to be missed with I must say...lol anyway if anyone cares we've just had our first big dump of winter snow here in the mighty aotearoa/new Zealand it's a actually nice to see but cold all the same...hehehe I'm not a ski buff and btw id rather have summer anyday the weather in Europe atm is what I'm all about, summer...lol, take care guys mch lov frm new Zealand🥰
Hi John, we do have moose but we call them elk. It’s the same species. Would love to get out to New Zealand one day, I think it would be my kinda place (we will try and come in summer though). Thanks for watching
Haven’t had a chance to listen yet, our internet situation is not ideal so need to pay for unlimited one day and do a big download. Sweden bridge route costs around the same with the tolls but would have been a lot more driving and fuel
Yeah I have heard this is the reason for the speed limits being so low. You take out their legs and the body comes through the windshield. Eek. Let’s hope we see it not on the road
Cars have to pass the moose test in Scandinavia where they try and dodge one. I remember the A class Merc failed the test and rolled. I has a kangaroo ambush my car once. My radiator spat the dummy.
Hi guys love the videos I just wondered if you take supplements with your food as I don't see much fat or protein in your meals although super healthy I just wondered what are the go to proteins for vegans I'm afraid I'm a bit ignorant when it comes to this . Norway looks amazing 😊
Vegetables, grains, beans, nuts and seeds are all brilliant sources of protein. Carbohydrates will also be converted to fats in the body, so beans, rice ext. we also use oils in cooking and eat lots of seeds and nuts. We do take multivitamins occasionally. One nutrient that can sometimes be hard for vegans to get is vitamin b12 although we eat a lot of marmite which has it.
2:47 This has been common in Norway for quite some time now. In my area you could usually bank on it being cheaper on early wednesday before the morning rush, or late sunday after weekend tourists are home from their cabin trips or what have yous. But the recent price hike in gas, power and food is causing people some serious distress. The war in Ukraine especially shot power prices in the air almost overnight, to the degree that the papers started posting "what time of day is your shower the cheapest" kind of thing. At its worst a 10 min shower could cost you 40-50NOK. What's even crazier is that, as a country whose main wealth comes from oil exports, the gas prices are cheaper in countries that buys their oil from us! It's a big talking point in politics these days, where obviously right-leaners are winning points by arguing that Norway should invest more of its wealth on Norway, rather than exporting it. And being on the lower end of income since I work in the health sector, it's hard not to agree when I can barely make the wheel go round after expenses are paid. Norway as a whole is due for a serious income increase to counterweigh the rapid price increases, and with an oil fund of (currently) 11.5 Trillion, you'd think it'd be a worthwhile investment :) ..Sorry, rant over ;_;
@@LostInTransit Oh that's just my POV. I'm sure others have a more measured view on things. In my mid-30s it's hard to just accept things as they are and not rant about it. I still hope your travels are great, as the camera makes it look like at least :) Don't get jaded by some local sourpuss xD
How many poos can you do in that toilet / how long can you leave it before emptying? Is it disgusting? And does it smell? Am interested in getting one lol:)
My advice would be get the biggest one you can. Our one can hold about 3 days worth of toilet trips, we can stretch it out by doing nature wees though. It can start to smell but only when you open it to go to the toilet. It doesn’t always smell. Emptying is an experience first time but you quickly get over it. Would definitely recommend, personally I think they are much better than composting or wild pooing. I’m fed up with arriving to spots and seeing loo roll everywhere and the composters take about a year to turn to compost, you are basically just putting your poo in land fill.
@@LostInTransit lolllll love itttt thank you for the advice! Will be getting the same as you guys if not a bigger version! I do massive shits lol. Hope to see you out on the road one day we are building our van now:)
It’s quite easy, you pour it all out, refill with a little water and shake, pour out and repeat till the water comes out nice and clear, twice is usually good. Then you are all done
