THE ONLY PEOPLE on a Havila Ship! Bergen & Trondheim ep1

We make it to Bergen Norway after exploring the Christmas Markets in Germany. We are supposed to have a few days before getting on the Havila ship for a big trip along the Norwegian coast! Well the start of the trip didn't go quite to plan. So we got extra time in Trondheim to explore this beautiful town and check out their Christmas market! But always make sure you have travel insurance because you never know how your trip might go! Always better to be safe than sorry!
Join us for this crazy adventure in Norway over Christmas time! Let's get out and live a little!

"What are we doing?" ... "We're going to have some beer" ... YES!!!

[@AlexJacksonSmith]

Sometimes YT recommends really fun channels... your little poppet is so fun and full of energy. You are great parents.

[@lindsayslivealittle]

Thanks so much. That is one of the nicest things anyone could say.

[@barbaram7164]

Loved this video so much--enjoyed the spectacular scenery--the homes, church, the Christmas market, the ship. Everything was so colorful. You guys did a great job with narrating and filming. I can't wait to see the Arctic Circle!

[@lindsayslivealittle]

Thanks so much! This comment made our day!

[@elizabethfaulkner1891]

It is spectacular that Poppy gets to see so much of our world at such a young age. I love that you bring her along on many of your adventures. Thanks for sharing her with us. She is such a joy. Love the video, what a wonderful time. And I love you choose to share this as Christmas in July.

[@lindsayslivealittle]

Thanks so much. We love being able to show Poppy our amazing country and world.

[@glacieractivity]

You three are an awesome travel company! It is delightful to see my "rugged and weathered" land through your happy-go-lucky minds and eyes.

[@lindsayslivealittle]

Thank you so much! We absolutely love Norway. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series. Emma & Jack

[@user-gr5tx6rd4h]

"Rugged and weathered" is in fact in the national hymn ("furet, værbitt") by Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson.

[@theherk]

The little peekaboo session on the empty vessel was so cute. I’ve lived here for years and still never gone to see pepperkakebyen.

[@lindsayslivealittle]

It was so much fun and unexpected.

[@trygvenord2197]

Thank you for sharing this lovely video and I am very pleased to learn that you liked my hometown, Trondheim ! :)

[@lindsayslivealittle]

Thanks so much. We will definitely be back!

[@user-gr5tx6rd4h]

@@lindsayslivealittle Perhaps in summer next time? (It is also my hometown)

[@lindsayslivealittle]

We have been to Bergen in the summer! I would love to do this trip again in the summer! Would see more! Thanks for watching!

[@user-gr5tx6rd4h]

@@lindsayslivealittle Then I think it is better to go in the opposite direction (Trondheim - Bergen). If I remember correctly you will then get to see more (path somewhat different). North of the polar circle I can recommend Tromsø - Bodø, including the fantastic Lofoten area. Two best train tours: Bergen - Oslo and Rauma (Dombås - Åndalsnes).

[@norsenomad]

At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="139">2:19</a>, regarding the great Pepperkake conundrum, which you pointed out: a Norwegian Pepperkake is named so because of the black pepper in it, even if there are about equal measures of ginger and black pepper. The recipe may vary, but a traditional Norwegian Pepperkake recipe typically (they vary slightly, so I just picked one) has these spices: 2 teaspoons (ts) ground black pepper 2 ts ground ginger 2 ts ground cinnamon 0.5 ts ground cloves There are also recipes in Norway with ginger and no black pepper, but those recipes are often called "Ingefærkjeks" (Ginger bisquits), "Ingefærkake" or "Engelsk ingefærkake" (English ginger bread), and are typically shaped as small, round bisquits. Because of the variation in ingredients, presentation and taste, this may explain why we have chosen to use a different name for each.

[@lindsayslivealittle]

Thank you so much for sharing! We will have to make these at home.

[@doodsanddudes]

What a unique experience for y’all. Norway is on of list. What a beautiful ship. Those beers looked great!what a beautiful church. Stunning.

[@lindsayslivealittle]

It is truly an amazing experience. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series.

[@doodsanddudes]

@@lindsayslivealittle we will be watching. Do you have any ideas for getting deals from them? I would ham it up if I went on one of those. Growing up on Long Island we never did cruises for whatever reason but now my wife and I love cruising.

[@lindsayslivealittle]

Would suggest signing up for their email updates as that may help. The main difference here is with this being a ferry, the costs are relatively flat and just change during seasonal times.

[@LamaMontana]

Pretty cool for also being a ferry. Food looks amazing. Having a ship all to myself is a fantasy of mine. haha. I'm guessing no casino..??

[@lindsayslivealittle]

It is such a unique experience. No casino though.

[@DivineFalcon]

@@lindsayslivealittle Casinos are illegal in Norway.

[@lindsayslivealittle]

Interesting. Thanks!

[@davefields3020]

Wonderful video! Just became a Subscriber.

[@lindsayslivealittle]

Thanks so much and welcome to the channel!!!

[@MrFrankiboy59]

very cool(d)video, 😀

[@lindsayslivealittle]

Thank you!

[@linnsoltwedel]

Bergen and Trondheim are MAJOR enemies! When it comes to fotball (or soccer) as you call it! :D

[@lindsayslivealittle]

We did not know that. Glad we didn’t buy any jerseys while we were there!

[@MrGrazzhoppa]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="130">2:10</a> it is actually the same amount of pepper and ginger in the dough, depending on the recipe ofc. So technically we are right.

[@CathyS_Bx]

Are you trying to cool us off in the hot summer? Well, it's working!

[@lindsayslivealittle]

Glad it is helping. We are trying to bring a bit of Christmas spirit to July!

[@titteifilm]

@@lindsayslivealittle Christmas is called "jul" and July "juli" in norwegian. So Christmas in July will be: Jul i juli 😉

[@lindsayslivealittle]

@@titteifilm haha love this! Makes it even better! Thanks! We saw signs saying Jul everywhere!

[@linnsoltwedel]

I bet you used all your money in Bergen, it's very expensive! :P My hometown!

[@lindsayslivealittle]

We really liked it. But for costs we lived in New York City for about 10 years so the prices weren’t too much different from the city.

[@mariusholtergrvdal7386]

It could have been named pepperbread as it contains the same of pepper and ginger...

[@lindsayslivealittle]

Thanks for the help.

[@OliviaTheVampyr]

Trondheim is like 1 hour away from where I live damn! 👀👀

[@lindsayslivealittle]

I think we have fallen in love with Norway and would move there in a heart beat!

[@OliviaTheVampyr]

@@lindsayslivealittle y’all should! Norway is a great country 💖

[@linnsoltwedel]

I dont know if you saw a lot of nature, but would you agree Norway looks a lot like Alaska?

[@lindsayslivealittle]

On other trips to Norway we saw more of the interior and remote sections. It was kind of dark this time :)

[@zytuben]

I got married in the Nidaros cathedral 😊

[@lindsayslivealittle]

I'm sure that was beautiful!

[@YW-lq8by]

Hello! I'm also boarding the ship from Trondheim this December, can I know how do you get to the port from the city centre? Is it walkable during winter? Thanks in advance!

[@lindsayslivealittle]

We would suggest a taxi or Uber/lyft. It is a walk from the city center to the dock especially with a suitcase and during the winter can be very slippery. It is probably a little over a mile walk so just depends on what kind of luggage you have and how much snow there is!

[@HrHaakon]

30 meters is a hair over 98 feet. It sucks that it couldn't dock, but it's is unfortunately what it is.

[@lindsayslivealittle]

Yep things happen and it made for an unexpected but fun experience.

[@Luredreier]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="361">6:01</a> Why not take the train? <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="887">14:47</a> The "e" in the "nes" part of "Kirkenes" sounds a bit different from what you pronounced. Ask someone local to pronounce it. ;-) <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1447">24:07</a> That railway bridge is almost unique. There's just two of that design in the whole world, one in Trondheim.

[@lindsayslivealittle]

We didn’t take the train because we were still jet lagged and wanted to get there as fast and easy as possible. (Lots of luggage) Thanks for letting me know I tried looking it up but I am not great at pronouncing Norwegian words I tried my best with my American accent! Thanks for watching!

[@Luredreier]

​@@lindsayslivealittle Considering sleeper trains. Saves you on hotel expenses, gets you where you want to go, gives you a room with privacy for the family, and usually is quite comfortable. I'll have to admit that I haven't tried it out after the privatization... But give it a try sometime in Europe. Trains are usually a relaxing experience in Europe.

[@lindsayslivealittle]

This is true! Now that I think about it more. We actually did look into the train. And at the time the price was double (if not more) than a flight for 3, and you had to transfer and it was 15-16 hours! At that point we would have probably just taken the free bus that was offered. For this trip a flight made more sense for our family!

[@HrHaakon]

Because the train ride would be Bergen - Oslo (~6-8 hrs) and then Oslo - Trondheim 6.5 hrs, with a 1.5 hour layover in Oslo before just about anything had opened. It's just not a good deal for them with the little one. The airfare + hotel would likely be cheaper too.

[@BostonHeather]

This is the second video you’ve had a hand/arm injury!

[@lindsayslivealittle]

Haha good spot! This was actually filmed a week after the MSC trip! So same injury. We went a little out of order because I wanted to get Explora (new line) out quick! And we thought Christmas in July would be fun!
