Did you really stop where stonerace had gone before? Look at the road where you stopped 🙈 I wouldnt , for sure...

[@pimacanyon6208]

All that work on the van paid off! Now you can enjoy some of the most spectacular scenery on the planet.

[@SimonBraeck]

I sure hope so, it has been good so far :)

[@yvindpetterson8598]

For en herlig video! Dere har virkelig skrudd opp kvaliteten nå, dette var kjempebra, både redigering, lyd og humor, men kanskje aller mest bra spenning i videoen, fikk virkelig lyst til å se dette syke huset i Luster før det blir for mye pusset opp!!

[@SimonBraeck]

Takk Øyvind! Øvelse gjør mester er det noen som sier, hehe, får håpe vi blir litt flinkere til å skru bil etterhvert! Gleder meg til å dele de kommende episodene, mange fine steder i dette landet altså!

[@gottasplit5707]

Patiently waiting for you guys to make a van life cookbook after seeing that delicious looking food! Yum!

[@SimonBraeck]

Maybe that's an idea for the future! Gotta start taking proper photos of the stuff we're making😄

[@gunnarelgersma5215]

Var gøy å møte dere med Benny the Gipsy! Gleder meg til å se mer fra norgesferien deres :)

[@SimonBraeck]

I lige måde! Håper han oppførte seg godt i sommer😊 Lykke til med prosjektet. Btw, Benny snek seg med i den siste videoen jeg har laget👏🏼

[@richardsayer1533]

Another superbly atmospheric episode

[@SimonBraeck]

Thanks Richard!😊

[@chetansarvaiyalink]

What amazing vlog .. full cinematic. Most of youtube video i watch on phone but your video i only watch on tv for experience it... Good work... Waiting for next one

[@SimonBraeck]

Thank you! It means a lot :)

[@anjaliparanjape9582]

Simon best as always 👍

[@SimonBraeck]

Thank you!

[@chuckb6691]

Welcome back to your travels. We missed you. Your first rate photography does justice to the incredible scenery. The view of the falls in the mist about 4 minutes in took my breath away. The van sounds like it is running well. Thank you for sharing this with us. Best wishes and safe travels. Chuck in Kentucky, USA 1973 Westfalia 1986 Vanagon Tintop (under construction)

[@SimonBraeck]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I am happy that the effort put in show for the viewers😊 The van is running good, but some tweaking remains in order to get the performance 100%.

[@werolo3520]

Finally, a new video! Nice!

[@SimonBraeck]

Yes finally, thanks!

[@frpaddy]

Great to see you back in action. Your input was missed immeasurably. Thank you Simon.

[@SimonBraeck]

My pleasure, thanks for watching😊

[@martinlaver007]

What an awesome place. And the views!

[@SimonBraeck]

We didn’t dare to camp by that «haunted hospital». But the views were amazing🤩

[@Van-Diesel]

Amazing. Tusen takk for sharing your moments 🥰🥰🥰 Hadet 🇳🇴😚

[@SimonBraeck]

You're very welcome😊😊 Ha det!😄

[@mokkabnner]

I'm impressed you got Norris up there. Last time I drove up it was definitely not for the faint of heart (or low cars), luckily we only met a few trucks coming down.

[@SimonBraeck]

He is a champion (when he wants to)😅

[@robin_gly]

All your videos have been such an amazing inspiration for our current road trip in Norway! Thanks for this high quality content Simon 🙌🏼

[@SimonBraeck]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching, I appreciate it😊

[@stephenrogers9664]

Another beautiful video guys. Well done 👍

[@SimonBraeck]

Thanks😃

[@bangunhapsoroofficial]

This is nice video and nice info...

[@SimonBraeck]

Thank you so much☺️

[@prakashmallhotra6729]

scenery is mind blowing . i loved it . building architecture was beautiful. naturural surrounding is so beautiful 😍

[@SimonBraeck]

It must be the most iconic hospital ever built, at least based on the location. Thanks!😊

[@hannaheli]

love this! I'm thinking of going... so scary

[@SimonBraeck]

Pretty spooky indeed👻

[@nikydebernardin356]

Beautiful

[@SimonBraeck]

Thanks 😊

[@grast961]

Wow fantastic scenery, the position of the sanatorium would definitely make for a great hotel, good to see that you are out and about again and have brought to us more of Norway with your fantastic cinematography. Thank you.

[@SimonBraeck]

Hoping to visit once the transformation into a hotel is done. Thanks for watching, feels good to be on the road again😊

[@dreamersfolly]

Been missing these episodic journeys you share with us. Gratitude to you both! It'd be so epic to be hang gliding around those waterfalls.

[@SimonBraeck]

Thanks! Sounds like a bucket list experience😳🤙🏼

[@TommyNordpole]

Good luck guys!!! Never Stop Exploring!!!

[@SimonBraeck]

Thanks!👏🏼😊

[@larryheiny5287]

I've been near there! Beautiful area. (was headed to Fjaerland)

[@SimonBraeck]

Indeed! Lovely place✌🏼

[@josefinemaria8669]

fantastiska videos så otroligt bra filmat! fint par också! :D

[@martinjones2397]

Been so excited waiting for your new videos and you didn’t disappoint, such stunning scenery and glad to see Norris back doing what he was made for.

[@SimonBraeck]

Thanks Martin! I think the coming episodes will be even better, always seems to take some time getting into the creative flow when we start a long van journey.

[@martynjewell5627]

Looks amazing. On the list for a roadtrip from UK. Great videos 👌👌

[@SimonBraeck]

Thanks, sounds like a good trip!😊

[@claretbuck1882]

[@seeyou1812]

Love it ,you guys rock

[@SimonBraeck]

Thanks😊😊

[@tomoiagagheorghe4026]

Good to have you guys back on the road! Thanks for sharing, while the video and edit quality are pretty amazing, we also use the information you provide to plan a trip to Norway with our campervan next year. So thanks for that too :) Looking forward to follow your adventures, kind regards from Romania

[@SimonBraeck]

Sure, my pleasure! Glad it could help, thanks for watching🤗

[@ericpelkey2788]

What a great cinematic video great shot with the drone and camera A+ video great to see both of you and Norris back on the road can’t wait for the upcoming videos On your trip through Norway

[@AlexRChies]

Cool! Really happy to see Norris in action again. Very good episode with awesome landscapes. Impatient to see what’s coming next.

[@SimonBraeck]

Thank you😊 Luckily the weather got better as we drove further north and the landscape even prettier👍🏼

[@jamesb8467]

Great video! It looks like this is going to be a great trip! Or was a great trip already.

[@SimonBraeck]

Thanks! We had a good time and I really look forward to show it through the upcoming videos :)

[@GermanKorb]

Looks like a start of an amazing journey again! glad to see you back on the road. Good luck!

[@SimonBraeck]

Would be a perfect start if we had a bit more sun in the start! But oh well, we appreciate the moody days too. Thanks👏🏼

[@aaronwoods6717]

So happy to see you guys back on the road 🤙Congratulations

[@SimonBraeck]

Thanks Aaron😊

[@nealwalden3543]

Pretty damn spectacular. Do not remotely think your videography skills could be any better. Supremely great film making of this part of the trip. Glad the VW is doing well. Makes me ponder shipping my Syncro over and driving it around your beautiful country.

[@SimonBraeck]

Wow, thanks for the kind words! I really appreciate it and it gives me joy that my effort is noticed. In that case, I hope you are able to have a lot of time available and that the scenery can be taken in slowly. We sometimes feel like we rush through the country in order to get as much variety for the videos as possible😄

[@dholter2]

Awesome video! looking forward to future episodes! Tusen takk for sharing your trip!

[@SimonBraeck]

Bare hyggelig😄 Thanks for watching!

[@orenkipnis7058]

Good luck with the further trips.

[@SimonBraeck]

Thanks Oren👏🏼

[@wolfunplugged]

fantastic video footage and great documental presentation! is the T3 stable and driving well? I wish all of you three a fullfilling voyage!

[@SimonBraeck]

Thank you! So far so good, a few minor hickups which we fixed easily along the way. Good times😊

[@fabiocordon1]

Hello , I just recently enjoyed your channel : I'm planning to visit Norway maybe next year and your videos are very inspiring . It'd be possible to know the location of the waterfalls ? They are so nice ! Greetings from Italy

[@christianstrom753]

Loved it! Can´t wait for the next onne

[@SimonBraeck]

Thank you👏🏼👏🏼😊

[@paulevans3522]

Enjoyed ur video guys stay safe.

[@SimonBraeck]

Thanks, you too👏🏼

[@deanpetzer6030]

Thanks so much for another amazing video, just to short 😉

[@SimonBraeck]

Thanks😄 I will try to make the next one longer😉

[@WVMbe]

When this place was still maintained it must have been the most beautiful location to get hospitalized, look at the surroundings.

[@SimonBraeck]

Indeed, must have required so much effort constructing this thing far up in the mountain side.

[@Macauka]

Hey guys! Nice video as always! Just noticed during this video that in van you have some nice front seats. Did you install them or got them with van?

[@SimonBraeck]

Thanks! We got these with the van, although we have given them new life with new fabric. They used to be red... 😂

[@onesannabackpackingandsnor2714]

Very nice! Waiting for next episode! When did you start your trip?

[@SimonBraeck]

Thank you👏🏼 we started mid June!

[@olehenrikboholm2908]

Helt ufattelig imponeranes ka dokker får til Simon! Lykke til videre på tur, glede mæ til neste episode 😍 Kor ofte blir dokker å legge ut?

[@SimonBraeck]

Tusen takk!🤗 Sku gjerne lagt ut en gang i uka, men da har æ bare materiale til 1 måned fram, dessverre. Blir nok til at det kommer ny episode annahver søndag, så får vi se om æ kanskje har mer materiale enn æ trur (som kan gi hyppigere opplasting). Sett pris på at du ser på/gir feedback😊

[@ericyuan9718]

Moment you did a drone shot of the abandoned hospital overlooking the fjord, I thought damn, turn it into a hotel. Then u said "mental hospital" and I'm thinking alright, maybe not then. Finally, u said there's people already on the site converting it into a hotel, and I'm like, that was my thought all along.

[@SimonBraeck]

Haha, there you go!😄 I am sure it will turn out super good once the transformation is completed.

[@uja1096]

You should add the names of locations you visit in the description or links on the map.

[@SimonBraeck]

I am unsure if that's the right disicion. In my opinion, part of the journey is exploring things on your own and not let, in this case our journey, dictate where to go/what to see. Glad you are interested in the places though, lots of pretty sights!😊

[@blackdogwildtrails3123]

Very skillfully put together. You use your photography and creative skills to great effect. You should get commission from the Norwegian Tourist Board! I have to admit, I don't like the advertising and that spoils it for me and others too I guess. At least you can scroll passed but it really interupts the flow.

[@SimonBraeck]

Thank you very much :) Until I get that tourist board deal, there will be an ad here and there just to keep the wheels turning. Although I understand your point completely, the edit process and the pace of the video will always be affected by such a break.

[@lucasmmartini9152]

there was someone ( like a bearded man) watching you in the upper left window (at 9:05) o.O scary

[@SimonBraeck]

Haha! Glad he left us alone!

[@johnkirk3808]

Failing or wrong 'Wastegate Actuator' may be your engine issue. releasing turbo boost @2000/3000 rpm too early in the engine RPM

[@SimonBraeck]

Still some tuning left I guess…

[@johnkirk3808]

@@SimonBraeck its a easy/quick job if it is the problem.

[@megane_half]

廃病院は怖すぎ～お化け出るよ👻

[@FinnyMG]

Do you think that hospital might be for sale?

[@SimonBraeck]

Not now as the project of a hotel conversion has started

[@jeren65]

Hei Flotte filmer. Men kunne dere også lagt til hvor dere er og kjører slik at andre også kan kjøre i disse områder Har vært endel rundt selv men kunne gjerne trenge noen nye plasser som jeg ser dere har vært på Men vet ikke helt hvor det er :-)

[@Aprilisca]

Here's Johnny 😂

[@SimonBraeck]

Awful😂

[@uja1096]

What's the location of the ex hospital?

[@SimonBraeck]

Western part of Norway, just type Luster Sanatorium in google maps😊

[@hashanyasas5053]

❤️👌

[@DrMcKay66]

Harastølen Sanatorium was a place where the most sick and wicked people ended up i can tell you that much. It was tuckt away for a reason 🤔🤪🤪☠️☠️

[@realcandycrab]

😍😘❤️

[@dutchglobetrotter6464]

2 minutes to go.......

[@olejacobstalesen6558]

Good to have you back on the road, and glad the new engine works! Also hope it has a touch more torque... As ever, audio and video are stellar. Really looking forward to follow your journey, as we had to forego travels this year. Nice to have a cabin available at the treeline tho😏

[@SimonBraeck]

Thanks! Good times on the road and I think the rest of the series will be even better. It is always a challenge to get the right mindset for filmmaking when the journey begins, so it takes a while to get into the right creative flow. That sounds like a good comprise!🏡
