Thank you for sharing these amazing road trip videos of yours 😊 We have spent hours following you on your journey, and it looks even more awesome on a 4K OLED TV. 👍

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi, thanks ever so much for following our journeys and we appreciate your kind words of encouragement 😊. Glad to hear you are are watching them on an awesome TV! (glad we uploaded everything in 4K 😎) We had an amazing time in Norway -such a special place!

[@apriliatuono2056]

The birds you saw, the grouse were probably Ptarmigan and the big hawk was probably a Sea Eagle. The first time I ever saw a Sea Eagle was just south of Bodø and they are MASSIVE.

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi, thanks for the Information! Yes a Sea Eagle looks right, and as you say it was MASSSIVE! =) Was not expecting to see one or for them to be that big! Thanks for watching and we hope you are enjoying the series Sean and Emily

[@quazyrides]

Lofoten is now verry high on our bike-it list... ❤

[@SeanandEmily]

It's awesome! maybe a couple more days there would be nice too we hope you have good weather when you go 😎👍

[@herethere3462]

I can see other has mention the Vesterålen islands, and that is correct. Even more precisely; from here 12:10 and further north in this video you are driving Vesterålen. 😊 I've followed you, almost like a third passenger, since you started in Switzerland (you don't sound very Swiss to me by the way?) and it's been a pleasure so far. Unfortunately, you had bad luck with the weather in this area, but it's nice to see that you are in just as good a mood regardless of the weather conditions. 🙂 Thank you for sharing this !

[@SeanandEmily]

Yeah hard to keep track of the Island names but good that there's people who know 😊 Well we do have room for a third person on that bike so no problems there 😄. You're correct, we are British but we live in Switzerland. We were having such a good time that we didn't really notice the weather until we made the videos, we did expect some rain so came prepared. The weather does get better from here on as we head further North. Really happy to hear your positive feedback and encouraging words, hopefully by the time you have finished watching this playlist we will be on our next tour. Thanks for watching and we appreciate your comment.

[@mattdrat3087]

Lovely episode, imagine what it would have been like if the sun was out! Lofoten is pronounced L-ooh (as in "ooh-lala")-f-ooh (Ooh-lala again)-ten. Don't worry about it though, as a half-brit myself, your way is cosy! Andøya has been used for military/civilian rocketry for many years. See you in the next one!

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks Matt! Yeah it's hard to imagine it could get any better 😎 -just another reason to come back and catch some sun! That's a good way to remember it! i think we had never heard it pronounced correctly so didn't think about it lol 😁. We had no idea about the rockets being there! Must be cool to see them launch them! Thanks for commenting Sean and Emily

[@mattdrat3087]

Thanks for taking us along on your trip!

[@billmoeller8897]

Even with the grey skies, a spectacular place. My 10 days of riding in Norway was the same. Think I did it in July, most every day grey skies & some days light rain. I almost didn't go to Bergen because everyone along the way said it rains almost every day there. Took a chance, was the only place with sun & blue skies. Needless to say, I spent a few extra days there just enjoying the area & the sun.

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi Bill, totally agree with you sometimes the mist adds to the atmosphere -that said some sun is always appreciated 😉. It's impossible to say when the weather is going to be good -you just have to go and hope for the best but prepare for the worse. We didn't make it to Bergen this time but glad you enjoyed it -must have been a very welcome couple of sunny days! Thanks for watching and we hope you enjoyed it. Sean and Emily

[@dianapugh1534]

Well done you two another great video. ❤

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks so much! This trip was one of our favourites! Nice that you are watching 😊

[@johnterry804]

Another great video! The mountains and mist makes it look like another planet very nice 👍

[@SeanandEmily]

Hey John, Thanks for your comment as ever, your support doesn’t go unnoticed. Next episode is tomorrow 😊

[@goranwikstrom9544]

Thank you for showing me beatiful Norway. Now I don’t have to go there myself. 😂 Greetings from Sweden. 😁👍🇸🇪

[@SeanandEmily]

Hahaha we have saved you a journey then 😂 We enjoyed our brief trip to Sweden but are looking forwards to spending more time there next time 👍 Thanks for watching and we appreciate your comment. Sean and Emily

[@goranwikstrom9544]

👍😁🇸🇪

[@johnnys5419]

Nice video again👍 It’s great to follow you on this fantastic trip. Always looking forward to the next one🤩

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks Johnny! Really glad to hear you are still enjoying it and thanks for commenting 👍Next one is out tomorrow 😉 Sean and Emily

[@Joachimus1]

Sehr gut und tolle Aufnahmen ! 👌

[@SeanandEmily]

Vielen Dank Jo! Wir freuen uns über deinen Kommentar! Freundlich Grüss Sean und Emily

[@hallvardpaulsen]

Just for information:: The group of islands north of Lofoten is called "Vesterålen" and that's where most of your recordings in today's episode are from.

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi, thanks for the extra information it's appreciated! We hope you enjoyed the Video 😊 Sean and Emily

[@hallvardpaulsen]

@@SeanandEmily I think I have watched all the episodes and enjoyed it very much. I have lived several different places along the Norwegian coast since I was a kid, and although most of the roads are well known to me, the commentary lets me learn how it may appear trough the eyes of foreigners. 😀

[@SeanandEmily]

Oh wow, thanks very much for watching! You have grown up in a beautiful part of the world!😀 Next video is out tonight 😀

[@camouflage962]

stunning !

[@SeanandEmily]

It's a beautiful place to tour - we want to go back again already! =)

[@runarmagnejohansen7505]

Hello! I think I have to update you a bit, Andenes, where you took the ferry from. Is in Vesterålen, not in Lofoten. When you came out of the Sørdal tunnel on the E10, you were in Vesterålen. But otherwise it is a pleasure to following your adventures.

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi, ahhh okay -didn't know that -it's hard to keep track of all the sub departments =) Glad you are enjoying the trip! Thanks for your comment Sean and Emily

[@antonoat]

Have to congratulate you both on the wonderful filming and drone footage, we've had a very spectacular view of the Lofoten Isles! This really has been a special trip. PS must add, your website is really terrific with masses of interesting info {and shop}, looking forward to following more of your adventures, "Round the world" looks amazing!

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks so much for your kind words of encouragement! We really enjoyed producing this episode and makes us want to go back there! Indeed this trip has been very special and at the Lofoten islands we are not even halfway through! Thanks again Sean and Emily

[@oh2mp]

We drove to Lofoten islands in summer 2015 and had as bad luck with the weather like you but it was still a stunning trip! Some day I will drive there again and hope that we will have sunshine. That is probably the most beautiful area of the Nordics. I just linked your channel to my friend who is also a motorcycle traveller and Norway lover, and after 15 seconds he replied: "subscribed" :D :D

[@SeanandEmily]

Yeah no matter the weather this place will always be special! (Would have been nice if it stopped raining at least for when we cooked outside 😂). Given me time we would love to do some of the hikes ti access the more remote areas of the islands. Thanks so much for sharing our channel we really appreciate it 😎🙌🏻 Hehe glad he liked it! Thanks again Sean and Emily

[@Snurre99]

great video!

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks very much! The journey continues tonight. Sean and Emily

[@Kevin_G_]

Another great video. What a magnificent experience on a bike,seems like Norway is getting in the bucket list.

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks so much Kevin! It truly was, Norway is still on our bucket list as it feels like a place one needs to go back to 😊 Sean and Emily

[@Kevin_G_]

@@SeanandEmily very true my friends. I'd wish to know the documents required for border crossing on a bike,, in various counties.

[@SeanandEmily]

We live in the Schengen area and as such no documents are required (apart form being able to produce a driving license and vehicle registration docs if asked for by the police). Cheers

[@Kevin_G_]

@@SeanandEmily that applies even in intercountry tours

[@SeanandEmily]

yes you only will need to show documentation to enter the schengen area then you are free to move around @@Kevin_G_

[@CM-ey7nq]

Just remember that all the electrical lines you see are there to keep the trolls out. Consider it a PSA :)

[@SeanandEmily]

They seamed to be working 😁

[@buza1300]

Lofoten are all about fish 🫠 old ferry are made for ruff conditions👍

[@SeanandEmily]

Those ferry's are so impressive -especially when you see all them swallow up the cars and trucks. It was actually a really cool ferry -the interior was original i think.

[@buza1300]

Just love you're positivity, still having a bad whether experience in the Artic 😎💙👍 Hope you're getting som sunshine son👍

[@SeanandEmily]

It's funny it's only now making these videos have we noticed how much bad weather we had -at the time we didn't really think about it! There's some sun coming up shortly 😎. Thanks for watching! Sean and Emily

[@bikerintheblood]

Looking forward to watching this one, but it’ll have to wait until tomorrow because it’s Friday night 🎉😊

[@SeanandEmily]

Good news it’s Saturday! 😂😂

[@Flydronegr]

Great video 😊 how do you record the conversation between you and passenger?

[@SeanandEmily]

Wireless microphones

[@jeffhennings6579]

Another nice video

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks Jeff! Hope you enjoy the rest of the series 😊

[@HalvardKolsing]

The bird you saw was most likely a sea eagle. And these small "hills" at the Stave Camping is hot pools ;)

[@SeanandEmily]

Just googled a Sea Eagle -that looks like it! Thanks! Ahhhh is that what they were -we might have stopped there if we had known 😁 Thanks for letting us know! 👍

[@HalvardKolsing]

@@SeanandEmily Many years ago I drove the same roads, but in the opposite direction. The only difference, I go to the southern part of Lofoten via the ferry connection Melbu-Fiskebøl. This was also late august, but I have glorius weather all the way ;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/iabXf4CAd66Fn6csi=teFjt4UO3qPvehJI

[@SeanandEmily]

Looks like you had perfect weather! Also what a nice bike! -is that an 80's Honda VF 1000?

[@HalvardKolsing]

@@SeanandEmily Yes, it is a 86 VF1000 F-2. Had it for almost 20 years ;) Looking forward to the next episode. Senja are beautyful.

[@SeanandEmily]

What an awesome bike! I often wonder if todays bikes will be going just as strong 37 years from now. I think i had a model of this bike as a kid -it looked familiar =) Next episode out tonight =).

[@akepettersson4847]

I think you both have to do a future roadtrip to Sweden , just saying 😉 We ain’t like Norway , but still…

[@SeanandEmily]

We agree, some of our biggest fans are from Sweden 😉 There's lots more magnificent waterfalls to see in Sweden apparently!

[@neilurquhart8622]

Absolutely agree. Stockholm is a beautiful city for a walking tour including the Old Town, Skansen, Vasa warship…etc.

[@akepettersson4847]

@@SeanandEmily Not only waterfalls 😉

[@nor-wayking6757]

Looks like they love their porkchops up there iin Twinpeaks land.

[@SeanandEmily]

They must do! We saw more pigs than people that day 😂

[@tompettersson3814]

I have seen whales there in july :)

[@SeanandEmily]

That must have been special!! I think we were a couple of months too late to see them! -hopefully next time 👍 Thanks for your comment and happy for you to see the whales! Sean and Emily

[@buza1300]

Drone forbidden due to military activities!

[@SeanandEmily]

Thank goodness we launched the drone where we did! As just around the corner it was banned....makes sense though 👍

[@Tolandur]

it has more to do with people flying drones to film the launches and causing them to have to abort the launch because they get to close...... and Andøya Space port isnt Military..... its a commercial satellite lauch site

[@SeanandEmily]

@@Tolandur makes sense 👍🏻
