ATLANTERHAVSVEIEN: From Storfjord & Ålesund to Norway's Atlantic Ocean Road / EPS.5 EXPEDITION NORTH

Eight bridges, several islands, one road: From Stofjord and the city Ålesund to Norway's famous Atlantic Ocean Road: The Atlanterhavsveien.
Because of riding in the pouring rain for six days straight, we decided to rest for a day and stay in one of Norway's most beautiful Hotels: Storfjord Hotel with a beautiful view on the Fjord and the Sunnmøre Alps. From Storfjord we visited the city Ålesund, which is one of Norway's most beautiful towns.
Unfortunatelly the rain didn't stop the following day and we decided to cancel our ride to famous Trollstigen - and drive over the Atlantic Ocean Road instead. If we finally had some luck with the weather? Join the journey and watch the episode to find out!

[@mr.solitude3352]

After all my hairs turned gray, I resolved myself to avoid, whenever possible, all lands that are known to experience lots of rain. The sun is this motorcyclist's favorite traveling companion. Happy Thanks Giving to you and your loved ones, Lea.

[@Got2Go]

Luckily I still have a lot non-gray hairs left - so I better use my time wisely in all rainy countries now 😂. No, I understand you - but I am still so happy that I could see how stunning Norway is - even if it was raining so much! We were as well very unlucky - heard from other travelers who only traveled two days ahead of us who had sunshine all the time. Happy thanksgiving to you too!

Hallo Lea, wir hatten 2016 auf unserer Motorradtour vom Nordkapp zurück auch das Glück nach einer feuchten Anfahrt aus Alesund die Atlantikstraße zumindest trocken zu erleben. Sie war zweifellos eines der Highlights auf der Tour 😀

[@Got2Go]

Da hattet ihr mehr Glück als ich - dafür kam bei mir die Sonne dann später! ☺️

[@andyteague90]

Good decision to chase mister blue sky, it’s hard to find motivation to ride In the rain day after day. Especially when you have to leave such a nice hotel. It looked reassuringly expensive but worth it I’m sure! The ocean road looked fab, short but sweet. I bet you can’t wait to get back to the heat and dust of Africa😀. Have a good weekend Leah 🍷🍷.

[@andyteague90]

Apologies Lea I seem to have added an h to your name for some reason. Silly boy 🙄.

[@paulcosgrove6160]

That hotel looks absolutely stunning! You really deserved that after 6 days of rain for sure. Nice Testarossa you were parked by, the only car I love as much as my bikes. Despite the beautiful countries in Scandinavia I must admit I didn't want to return after one trip only due to the terrible weather, I spent nearly as much time on maintenance (bike and me) as riding! Your music choice was perfect. We have a similar name for the weather.........April Showers. Thanks for sharing, a lovely edit.

[@Got2Go]

It’s very funny because I nearly forgot how rainy it was meanwhile (I am very good in only remembering the nicest things 😂). And I think there are two more episodes in the rain - and then we had unbelievable good weather all the ride through Finnland and Sweden. So in my memory it was not bad. But then I see the videos and think „uh, nine days in the rain straight - not nice!!!“ 😂

[@srenlorenzen8605]

Really enjoy your videos. Very well produced and filmed beautifully. It is like being on the adventure myself. Actually did part of the adventure in Norway in august 2019 on my 2008 GS. Drove from Bergen and up north and east - Atlantic road, Trollstigen, Geiranger, Strynefjell. Then south to Laerdalssoeyri, Lysebotn and Stavanger. Amazing solo trip with tent. And I was so lucky - perfect weather and sun most of the time - only three hours of rain during the whole trip in Norway. I have to go back - also want to see the country further north - Lofoten and so on. Ride safe.

[@Got2Go]

Yes it’s such a beautiful place - you should go back and do the north, I liked it even more than the south of Norway!

[@ionecuff6323]

I have been binge watching all your videos for the past few days. They are helping to keep a huge smile on my face and in my heart while I recover. Europe is so very very very beautiful!!! Stay Safe and God bless and protect you.

[@einarbolstad8150]

I certainly understand your decision to get out of the typical fall weather. Unfortunately, it meant that you missed out on some of the best roads in Norway, which is the rest of Trollstigen that you could (and I think planned to) have taken after Ålesund. I think this is a far more interesting, fun and beautiful road than the short and somewhat disappointing Atlanterhavsvegen. I suggest driving to Ålesund from the south on Trollstigen via Geiranger, which you did. But after Ålesund, take road 650 to Valldal and then turn onto road 63 to rejoin Trollstigen. Nice views and more excellent serpentine roads await. After you're back down on "ground level", you can either continue northwards through Åndalsnes if you want to stay in fjord country, or you can continue eastwards towards several national parks (Dovrefjell, Rondane, Jotunheimen) and then continue, or not, towards Lillehammer and Oslo.

Great video, I felt really sorry for you with all that rain. Here in Australia we are pretty lucky. I did an Outback trip with my son last year in August and for the 3 weeks away it didn't rain once. If you have done the Great Ocean road you will know what I mean. Looking forward to you getting back to Africa. I'm originally from South Africa so really enjoyed watching those videos as well. Very inspiring

[@Got2Go]

It’s very funny though: I had rain once during my one month stay in Australia - and it was when I drove the great ocean road. The wind was terrible, I have never experienced that strong gusty winds ever when riding a motorcycle and then it started to pour down - I think it was one of the worst weather conditions I ever drove my motorcycle in. But then the weather was perfect the next 29 days 😁. Would so love to come back and explore more of the Australian outback (yes, but Africa first, can’t as well wait to finally go to South Africa 😍)
