[@MarinkaKlaver]

We've just watched 5 hours and there's so much more to come! Very happy to see the Lofoten again, my heart skips a beat every time I see those images. I still have to work on Monday and Tuesday and then we will be off for a while. It's wonderful to spend time with my family. My father already texted me how far we are in watching your video. Maybe we'll watch the rest together with him. Have a beer and some tasty snacks. Wood stove on. This is how Christmas should be. I hope you can also spend Christmas with your family. I wish you very happy and warm days and a prosperous but above all healthy 2025. And may you make many journeys and take us with you! I hope we can meet in June. For a beer or a cup of coffee, some food, a hike and a good conversation. Take care Jarl. Stay safe.

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Thank you Marinka!! Merry Christmas to you and John and the rest of the family! Yes I spend time with family:-)

Uhmmmm pesto to flavor a sandwich? Noooooo it's conceived to season pasta!! The problem with pesto is that it oxidizes very quickly in contact with air ,loosing its flavor, even if it is kept in its glass jar !!! To get around this problem, one can use a thin layer of olive oil to seal the pesto from the air.... This recommendation comes from Italy, the number one in the world, when it comes down to food & wines quality...🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Dare to try something new, pesto is awesome for many things, this recommendation comes from Norway, the worst place in the world for food quality lol

[@KingofUrukhai]

@@NorwegianXplorer A friend of mine, who went to Norway on a business tour, told me the quality of sea food one can find there is unattainable anywhere else on earth... In addition to that, he was astonished to see a lighting system for ski slopes on the hills surrounding Trondheim: its purpose was to allow people devote hours at the end of a day in sport activities, during wintertime night comes very soon, maybe around 3 or 4 pm and skiing in the dark was not recommended !! 😊😊😊!

[@lawesy85]

13.5 hours!!

[@NorwegianXplorer]

Indeed!

[@lawesy85]

​@@NorwegianXplorer I mean if I was on a long-haul flight that would be amazing! But I still wouldn't get through it all ! ha There's a reason the average film is 130mins and a series episode is 45mins, take advantage of their research. An I say this with as much positivity as possible as I really enjoy the videos, but even 3-4 hour videos are far too long for me personally and I always wish they were a sensible length to watch in one sitting so I can follow your journey more closer, or made into some series. Just a suggestion, id love to see the channel grow.

Absolutely, I am grateful for every second you watch! I was thinking people might get bored through the holidays and just wanting to disappear into the arctic winter
