Yeah there are positives but those stoppage time limit during bus trips are unfair. With so much beauty to take in you need plenty more time & thats we drove toyota yarris hybrid. Its took on the terrain quite well and cause of tiny size curvy roads wont any problems

[@itsnotme07]

@@johnsingh5943 For sure, being in full control of your trip is great. Some roads are better for doing the driving yourself (Highway 1 in California). This trip in Norway....maybe like you said, it's easier in a small car. Guess I'll have to try both. Haha.

Nice summary of a part of the country that I have yet to visit. My father loves driving Trollstigen on his motorcycle! 😎 About bus on ferry: I used to drive a bus service from Bodø to Sortland. The trip lasts for almost 7 hours and includes a 1 hour ferry ride from Bognes to Lødingen. And another fun fact: the only way to get further north in Norway from Bognes is by ferry, unless you drive through Sweden. Feel free to visit us in North next time you come to Norway! I promise you there’s more to see!

[@majensen70]

Public transport is sometimes the simplest way to go. Trains or buses are sometimes the only way to get to places that are well worth a visit when you you don't have the $$$ to hire a private car or rental or just want to enjoy the simple pleasure of the journey. We've done this to visit Hallstatt, Austria, to take one of the scenic trains in Switzerland on our way to the Lauterbrunnen Valley, to visit Neuschwanstein (and other castles) in Bavaria, etc. My wife and I are more than happy to use public transport when it makes perfect sense to do so. This trip and the modes you took will be added to our list. Happy to recommend some places for you and Suzanne to visit - things that have brought my wife and I immense joy. Kudos once again for a brilliant narrated trip report..

[@shawnd-v1660]

I always like it when you've got Suzanne with you. It gives the videos a more personal sort of feel

[@wmb7163]

Wow! This is my favorite video of yours, Jeb and Suzanne, and I've watched plenty. Norway is stunning, but I don't think I'd have the nerve to travel down the Trollstigen, even by bus. Thanks for the beautiful footage and for allowing me to be an armchair traveler. Your videos are so good: organized, informative, well edited, fun, and upbeat.

[@GreenerGrass]

Wow, thank you! We loved this trip, it was one of our favorites of 2022. Thank you for watching and for your kind words!

[@arnsteinskovereng3697]

Great video, as always 😀. If you want a little bit better train experience, chanche train in Dombaas to the Trondheim-Oslo train. This is a long distance train, and a little bit better than the intercity-train from Lillehammer 😉. Thank you for visiting my homecountry Norway and being so enthusiastic 😁

[@hoser412]

I would totally drive on the Trollstigen road. Its one of the great driving roads on earth.

[@Theme87]

It’s fun to hear how the people in the back experience the drive up Ørnesvingene and Trollstigen. I’ve only been up front driving the thing. As a bus driver, that has been driving there a few times, I’m usually more exhausted driving from Gerinanger in the other direction (if you would continue onwards past the hotel) just because of the sheer amount of turns and traffic there. If you look at 05:02, in the video, one of the trips we do we usually start at the bottom and all the 1500m (roughly 4900ft) up towards the peak, and then back down again. It’s always a treat visiting Geiranger, especially if the weather holds up. But this summer have been especially cold and wet so you got lucky with the weather there all things considered.

[@andrelam9898]

Thanks for another great great video. When visiting in Europe there is a wide variety of transportation options and often, using the public system is the smart choice. It may not seem cheap, but renting a car and putting fuel in it and paying toll roads and then finding parking can all be more expensive and more hassle. When we visited Spain in May we used planes, taxis, train, subways, busses, and an automobile. Out of 3 weeks we had the car for only 4 days where it made sense for day trips that were not readily accessible by other forms of transportation. Those roads look like an epic drive in a descent car (I would not want to be in control of a large vehicle though). We had to drive through the old part of Granada and parking garages that barely fit a compacts SUV (new Mokka), I had only inches to spare with insanely tight turns going down 4 levels). This video can be super helpful to those US or Canadian travelers that have never experienced well connected public transportation in Europe.

[@shadowmeow4964]

I truly love Norway and it's fresh air!

[@adrianburn7178]

Most interesting video. We hope to go to Norway in 2024, so will definitely think of doing this particular trip.

[@okeesmokee6658]

Nice product placement by Suzanne for Rick Steves - I have the same shirt (actually 2). Great video and narration - very informative. You can also see why Rick Steve's always promotes packing light, "because you will end up walking at some point" when you tour Europe. He also states that the wheely bags are great until you have to walk up stairs or in your case, a steep hill - you both did great. Thanks again.

[@geoffreyr8721]

Breathtakingly beautiful! Norge looks amazing! Thanks for uploading! Safe travels!

[@richardmccarthy9580]

Fantastic scenery…… if you are looking for train/bus/boat (and the odd dodgy, precarious road) alternatives look no further then Queenstown NZ. Boat includes Milford Sound, sail Lake Wakatipu or jetboat/raft down Shotover River, bus up to Cornet Peak, to Milford Sound and for precarious roads try Skippers Canyon, train includes Taeiri Gorge railway or Tranz Alpine/Glacier Express. Other forms of transport incl Skyline(southern hemisphere’s steepest cable car) and the flight in/out are spectacular. Only problem ? For me in Manchester, UK you could barely be further away ! 😩

[@CalinFR]

I love it that you guys enjoy public transportation so much. In a rent a car world, this is refreshing. I also recommend trying the train from Rome/Naples to either Catania or Palermo. They place the whole train onto the ferry

Damn!! Jeb, you beat us that you already finished and published your geiranger-trollstigen scenic route video while we just released our part 1 of this route. We admired Suzanne and you that you took all the public transportation for this trip. We would like to do the same way but we could not due to our tight schedule. Instead, we traveled in the opposite direction that we flew from Oslo to Molde and rented a car from there. While you 2 took the bus descending from the top of the Trollstigen rest area, we drove from the bottom to the top. With your video, we have a comprehensive view of this route from two different directions. Once again, great video and great job!! We look forward seeing more of your travel videos in the future!!
