Like the Spanish inquisition, you never expect norwegian weather. That is, until you expect norwegian weather every time, like a true norwegian ❄️🌬️🌞🌧️🌈
No contact with family, even family living relatively close by... Jepp, he's Norwegian 😀 (The way you excused yourself when stepping over graves.. sweet 🙂).
Bergen is on the west coast of Norway and that area is considered the rainiest place in Norway. That is a bit of a nuisance but, like the rest of Norway, the nature is mind-blowing. Just remember, the Nordics really are spot-on with the saying "There is no bad weather, only inappropriate clothing!".
Back in the early 70's as a school trip we welt to Cooperstown, New York and toured the baseball hall of fame then the Colonial Village. It was set up much like the Viking village. They had a blacksmith shop, a bakery, a tack shop that made all of the leather things for horses and oxen (they look just like Philippine caribou). Then they had the undertakers shop (people were dieing to see him😎) That must be the summer season there, everything is green. Having grown up in a valley much like that (Western New York), you really don't think about it until you go somewhere that is flat. The sun comes up late and goes down early. The greatest part of this travel is that you are documenting it all. Next time you want to travel, you don't even need to leave the house. So, keep pushing on and enjoy the Journey. What are you getting hun? Fish & chips 😎
Beautiful video and a beautiful place, but it has beautiful names too. Gudvangen means something like The Field of The God(s) and Jondal means Valley of John, most likely referring to John the Baptist, which in Norway plays much the same role as the Virgin Mary does in South America. My name, for instance, Jo-Erlend, means John the Baptist of the Sacred land. I can definitely see why that place would be given that name. But it is one of my missions in life to change the English pronunciation of "viking". The 'ing' means something you do, exactly like in English camping or sailing, etc. But the 'vik' should be pronounced 'veek' in English, just like week, but with the V instead of W. The reason this is important is that the _current_ English pronunciation of viking sounds like the Norwegian word "veiking", which means someone who is weak at everything he does. The verb 'viking' means to travel the open sea, or more precise, to travel from the harbor. I loved your video. Thanks. :)
Regarding the ferry, you *do* have to pay for it. But it might be included in the ticket if you've bought a bus ticket etc. 3:00 When was this? It looks like you came out of season? 4:43 Layers is good. Unusual with two jackets though. Usually you got something air and water tight outside, then various layers of insulation underneath. 14:42 Pity that you guys didn't talk to any locals and perhaps meet some of his family.
Lucky guy, what a sweet, and charming wife!
Great content! You are so positive and happy even tho the weather was bad😊 glad you enjoyed Norway:)

I love you taking us in a tour. You are so happy
Nice video 👍
Just came from a wedding in jondal three days ago. Stayed at room 115.
I like how the viking village guide is German (at least he sounds German and not Norwegian). Sorry about the weather (typical vestlandsvær)
سرانجام کار این است در جهان
نوبت شما هم مسیر جاده ابریشم خالی است.

They said it was 33 degrees (presumably Fahrenheit) which is barely above freezing). Is it really that cold in the summer?

Yes, I don't think Vikings can ever be confused with weaklings.
Nice video 😊 Your husband looks and walks like a Norwegian 😁😁 Sorry about the bad weather. Nice to see that you guys enjoyed our peaceful Country ❤️
Have he asked on the Norwegian Heritage group on facebook if he want to know relatives living in Norway?
