I’ve missed your videos. We have had a long, frigid and snowy winter in Wyoming this winter. The snow is just starting to melt in our yard. I mounted new tires by myself on my 1978 VW Camper bus, just for something to do. Now that it’s finally warming, I’m painting the bus. I’m looking forward to some trips in our mountains this summer. No fjords in Wyoming, but we do have pretty mountains with moose, bears, elk and nice water falls. Safe travels!😎👍

[@Sjoerdbrr]

THEY ARE BACK AGAIN JEEJ

[@clyde1279]

It does not hurt to show such a beautiful country, but your videos are a cut above the rest. There really isn't much comparison. Keep up the great work!!

[@WVMbe]

I was thinking about you both earlier today, when would the post a new video... and here it is.

[@SimonBraeck]

Be careful what you wish for I guess😄

[@basonjillett1]

Yay just saying today we had missed you all 😊

[@SimonBraeck]

Aww, thanks! 😊

[@anapaint6766]

This is all what i have been waiting for you, new video 😻 this gives me more travel fever to go with my syncro t3 to norway!

[@SimonBraeck]

Lovely, thanks😀 Come on over🇳🇴👏🏼

[@Danj9201]

Yes mate! Glad to see you back on here :)

[@SimonBraeck]

Cheers😄 it has been a while…🤓

[@bluewendytube]

That was a pleasant surprise. More wonderful scenery, once the clouds vanished! Great to be able to rustle up good meals in a confined space. We took our old camper up to the Peak District today, not quite in the same league but quite impressive!

[@SimonBraeck]

Thanks! I bet it was lovely😊 We still haven’t done a proper trip in our van yet this year. Gotta get back into it🚎

[@bluewendytube]

@@SimonBraeck it was great to have a change of scene. Yes, definitely! We've missed your videos!

long time no see, I was checking if there is any update I missed yesterday and you came back today!

[@chuckb6691]

Good to see you again, Simon, Benedikte, and Sulu. Hope to see more of you in the near future. Your videos transport me to breathtaking places I never knew existed. For this, please accept my sincere thanks. Simon, I enjoyed the look Benedikte gave you when you referenced her making food, at about the 3:30 mark. I get that look from my wife very often when I say something similar. A few weeks ago, I van camped/explored for 12 days in the southeastern USA, now that the weather has warmed. It was nice to be out of the cold. Take care and safe travels. Chuck in Kentucky USA 1973 VW Westfalia (Aircooled 1.7 Type 4 Petrol Engine) 1983 1/2 VW Westfalia (Watercooled 1.9 Petrol Engine)

[@pyronitro]

yey they are back! miss all those views and the van!

[@thelittleredbus]

Great to see you guys on the road again: we missed you! Did you say this was filmed in August? We have just finished 3 months winter camping in our Syncro through Eastern Europe, Croatia and Italy and can’t wait to go off somewhere again. Looking for ideas for our next trip, we are considering coming to Norway in late August for a couple of months. How bad are the midgies (mosquitoes) at this time? Maybe we can catch you guys when we come - it would be great to meet you.

[@SimonBraeck]

Thank you! August is correct👍🏼 Along with September, these two months are the best regarding insects. The midnight sun is not present anymore, but you’ll get those long, colorful and beautiful evenings. Let’s see how it plays out😀

[@dreamersfolly]

Oh wow, I was just thinking about how I miss seeing you both last night. Crazy. As always, stellar content👍🏼👍🏼

[@mssuo]

Stumbled on your channel yesterday, now been through a dozen videos… great stuff! Been to Norway countless times, and now I think I need to start planning the summer ’23 again and include some bits of your amazing country, perhaps the northernmost parts this time. Already checked the local used T3 Westy/Vanagon market, (un?)luckily found none - I guess I’ll have to spare some poor life choices for later then 😅

[@alisonmccalla4099]

So great to see you again! I love the videos as usual. Simon speaks so poetically! Those mushrooms are called chanterelles and they are the best. Is this the month to find them in the wild in Norway? Mahalo from Hawaii.

[@daverichard3377]

Excellent as usual , thank u 👍🎯🇨🇦👏

[@davidchase7166]

Great to see you guys again, hope you've been keeping well?

We’re all good! Life caught up with us so there were a few things that needed our attention which is why the videos have been lacking. Let’s get back into the rhytm again🤓👍🏼

Missing norway, we where there over a month ago.

[@Nabivalka]

In Latvian those mushrooms are called "gailenes". Than you for video.

[@bettyboop73]

Hi! I love all your videos about Norway. We would like to hire a mini caravan (not a campervan!) in Norway to attach it to our car and travel around the country. Do you know if that's possible? Are there any companies specialized in renting mini caravans? Thanks in advance!

[@lisettederaaf5091]

Hi, I love your video’s! This summer we wil be on the road in Norway too, just like last summer. We travel with our dog. During our hikes somteimes we let the dog run free, without a line. I don’t know if that safe for the dog. I see you keep the dog on a leash. What do you suggest we should do? X

[@SimonBraeck]

Hi! Thank you☺️ It’s a law requiring you to keep your dog on a leash between April 1st and August 20th. This is to protect wildlife, birds, sheep, cows, goats and reindeer that roams freely in Norway. Our husky has a super strong hunting instinct which is why we never let her run freely without us keeping a close watch. Farmers are supposedly allowed to shoot dogs if they are caught chasing their animals😳

[@JesusistheOnlyWay222]

It was apparently 29degrees the other day!

[@kernelpanic2887]

Hey! I bought myself a VW T3 and am planning to explore Norway with it. I am totally new to all of it, can you give a rough ballpark of how much you'd budget for car repairs? The previous owner said she put about 2k$ a year into the car, is that realistic?

Thanks!😀 It’s still really slow, but the reliability is on a different level👍🏼 Sure thing, will be releasing an updated version of it in a few weeks🤩
