Portugal and Spain import their dry cod from Norway , so if u have bacalao in Spain it’s probably made with Norwegian dry cod

Magnus Midtbø, the Norwegian climber, actually hung from his bare hands at the very tip of Trolltunga. He's known for a lot of fairly extreme things, but that I would never do myself :)

[@kjetilkjernsmo8499]

I agree that the Atlantic Ocean Road isn't that spectacular, but there are a couple of things between Ålesund and there that can make it worth it: One is Trollkyrkja, a hike up to a marble cave system that's really beautiful. The other thing is Farstadsanden, which is a large and really beautiful beach. Those two are really worth visiting in the area, and since the Atlantic Ocean Road is near Farstadsanden, so it is worth a detour if you are at Farstadsanden.

The stave-church is a copy of the original. It was burned down by the infamous black metal musician Burzum in 1992, and rebuilt in 1997.

[@oh515]

The positive side of it is that you will see how these churches looked like originally, while the old stave churches' wood are very dark inside after 800 years.

han idioten. Greven)?

[@hallvard74]

All roads in Norway are scenic. There are many roads in Norway that are just as nice as the Atlantic Ocean road. Just go to any random place and it will always be nice.

[@fraaasma]

The main reason its so hot that far north is because of the Gulf Stream, brings hot water from gulf of Mexico i think

[@HobartsAbroad]

That explains it 😅 Thanks for sharing and for watching!

[@fraaasma]

@@HobartsAbroad Yeah, great vid btw. Love the energy!

[@oh515]

The Gulf Stream is hitting the southern Norway more efficiently. It is hot because of the sunny weather. It would been hot in Bergen and Ålesund as well if it was sunny. It has been hot summers in the north the last few years though.

[@peacefulminimalist2028]

Beautiful shots and looks like you had an amazing trip, What I can say about hiking mountains in Norway is that each year we have helicopter rescue operations to save tourists who don't know how to dress properly for the Norwegian mountains. Come on, who brings an umbrella on a mountain hike:P You need solid gore tex hiking boots, wollen socks, wool underwear (thin woolen pants and sweater) a technical layer on top of that that is water and wind-proof. This is for summer hikes. In addition we ALWAYS carry an extra set of clothing in our backpacks, like a thicker sweater, new socks, water-bottles that you can refill and some energy rich foods or snacks. If you get soaked like you did, then fog sets in, or a storm approaches, or you hurt your knee and get stuck there for hours you can very well freeze to death during the night. Wool will keep you warm, and with an extra set of warmer clothing you can add under the tech layer you're good until rescue comes.The weather here can change dramatically in the span of a few hours, so always be prepared.

[@DillaryHuff]

I feel like august and september have been colder than usual here (Oslo area), which doesn't bode well for the winter that's just around the corner😭

[@magneh1]

Fantastic video! Thank you!

[@eivindbjrke1793]

Not bad weather, only bad clothing...!❤

Usual sauna is 100 to 110 degrees now that is hot, and thats how we do it normally at least Finland and baltics

[@jonnybnice]

I used to live in Ålesund and wandered alot in Runde. Love that place. In Bergen, Fantoft stavkirke burned down in the 90s and what you saw is a rebuilt stavechurch (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantoft_Stave_Church). Nice video by the way. Always nice to see foreigners take on Norway :) I have some videos if you wanna see more of norway

[@bjrgjohannessen5184]

Welcome back!

[@organicperoxide4619]

The bakery in Bergen was really stingy with the cheese. Just 1 simple slice is not enough. Nice video guys.

[@licencetostay007]

Great video! Thank you for sharing and best wishes on the rest of your trip!

[@HobartsAbroad]

Thank you!

[@JrgenFrderbergTvedt]

Great video of vikingland !

[@HobartsAbroad]

Thank you!

[@baldis12]

Great video guys :) Iam surprised you dident go on the Fløybanen when you where in bergen. Iam from the Vesterålen thats very close to Lofoten. I go up there every summer, to our family farmstead, where we have a cabin. Its incredible. Ofc even more so in the midnight sun season. Looked almost like the troll stigen road where you took the shuttle up to the hike start to troll tunga. Its one of the worlds most famous roads.

[@monicabredenbekkskaar1612]

Welcome back! Wishing you to visit more of the south, take a roadtrip from Oslo, southwest, west and cross over to east and back to Oslo. ❤

[@HobartsAbroad]

Thanks for the tip!

[@ahkkariq7406]

65°F is not unusual in northern Norway in the summer. I grew up 450 km further north than Lofoten, and it happened that we got 85°F/30°C. A nice summer day is usually between 68-77°F/20-25°C, but in bad summers such days are rare. August is often the best month where I grew up, because then all the snow (with the exception of the glaciers) has melted in the mountains. This year has been a fantastic summer in northern Norway. Unfortunately I wasn't there.

[@HrHaakon]

Eating out in Norway is quite expensive, but if you're willing and able to cook yourself, the price drops by a lot. (I mean, if you're in a hotel room, you don't have an oven, and you're also on a vacation, so I get that you might not want to.) Also, the last few years have seen some brutal inflation that has massacred the affordability of food. So it's worse than it used to be.

[@louisaklimentos7583]

I love to visit Norway and New Zealand . I live in Australia and most Aussies visit Europe but not Norway . I can’t understand why ?I it is my dream country

[@HobartsAbroad]

😄

[@pinkmcgirl]

If you had more time, you could have made the Atlantic Ocean Road worth it. If you planned to go to Kristiansund, and booked a trip to the small fishing village Grip. It is a really small island, about 35 minutes by boat. You would have loved it! 🥰

[@IshMi]

... and you missed Sognefjorden.... Geirangerfjorden..... all the glaciars around Europes biggest glaciars JOSTEDAL..... LOM..... the mountain passages of VALDRESFLYA & Sognefjellet. WELCOME BACK!

Everyone is different. But most people go to the sauna wet.

80 usd for half a tank? must be a big tank, or very bad timing. I just filled up with 35 L (just under 10 us gallons) of premium fuel for under $80

[@Youtube_Stole_My_Handle_Too]

Thanks for pronouncing "Å" correctly.

[@user-gr5tx6rd4h]

Yes - like "aw" in English, e. g. paw, straw, law.

[@Youtube_Stole_My_Handle_Too]

@@user-gr5tx6rd4h Sad English can't offer a single character for each vowel while it offers redundancy for many consonants. It's strange, to say the least.

[@steinarhaugen7617]

Norway expensive? Not for Norwegians. The middle and working class earn more than in any other country. But the upper middle class and the upper class pay more tax than most countries so that everyone is well off. Capitalism with a friendly face, as we say in Norway. 😊 Otherwise, a great video from Norway.

[@user-gr5tx6rd4h]

Yes, a perfect balance between capitalism and mild socialism, having the best of both. I think Bernie Sanders likes it!

[@OberDesiah]

No

Norway is not built for tourism

[@perolden]

I see that a lot of tourists like the mountains, I have always hated them. they are like enormous intimidating giants that shadows the sun, I grew up just outside Oslo, so I thankfully only saw mountains when travelling in Norway, if you travel, they are hard to avoid. I never liked the waterfalls either. Three times a year the family traveled westwards to the mountains. Skiing and staying in a cabin, even in military service we had the officers school training in some mountain range. I hated it. I dont like the flat lands much either, but I like the smalll hills rolling landscape, with valleys between hills raising less than 200 meters. Agree with you on the Atlantic road, lved by that road for a half year, nothing to see

[@SURFpal]

Yeah... mountains block your view.

[@RunarNyrud]

I just love Bergen..... I was in the Navy for my military service, an was in Bergen (Haakonsvern) for 9 months. I worked Monday - Thursday, and left Bergen by train to my home near Kongsberg. The train raid is beautiful, called Bergensbanen, I went on it 60+ times, but still cant wait to take it again. I am going in june 2025, I have tickets to Bergenfest, a musical festival. My absolute favourite artist is the closing act of 2025, the wierd and magical Aurora.... She is as magical as the Norwegian nature; kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJSqaq2Kr9icqacsi=XhMzRNaYr2HsUhQh

[@sarvonia-rockefellas]

if earth rotates on it's axis west to east then how come waves always flow from the oceans towards the lands regardless of the oceans being to the east west north or south of the lands instead the waves should flow in the opposite direction of the earth's rotation ?

[@user-gr5tx6rd4h]

Good question! In physics class here in Norway we learned that when the water becomes more shallow (approaching the beach), this causes the direction of the flow to change as you describe it. (The water itself mainly moves vertically, up and down, with a delay which makes it SEEM like a pattern of waves moving horizontally.)
