Sami land and culture is something very unique and breathtaking. Believe me, I lived and worked there. Reindeer land rocks! lol

    As we always say, it can be exausting when the weather is nice in Norway. Spectacular sunrise, beautifull scenary during the day followed by the sunset where the light paints the mountains golden in the evening. And then, when you'er good and tired, the norhern ligth puts on a show all night.

I think it is something that you have to experience in person to appreciate it fully. I did in 1982, and will never forget it. John, you really did pick a perfect spot to camp and have the perfect view. This is such a beautiful country. What is it about sunshine that makes everything better? Mandy, you are the bravest person going into the cold and weedy water like that!!

  • @thomasraden
    @thomasraden Год назад

    Only one ferry left connecting the south of Norway to the north. It is discussed a tunnel crossing for years but it will be expensive since the fjord Tysfjord is very deep. They project a tunnel further up to the ocean, where the mouth of the fjord is at a shallow depth. Also, around this area is where Norway is at its narrowest, Hellemobotn, 6330 meters to the Sweden border. But we do not practice border controls here in the nordic countries. Unless you really want....

    I only need to see if the Fiordlands in N.Z. to know if this is true.
    Regarding Aurora Borealis, I experienced a most memorable one when I did my military service, way back in the 80's.
    I was standing guard in the middle of the night and the green light lit up everything so that I could see almost as good as in daytime!

    Hi guys, hope you are all well. Wow, seeing the 'Lights' looks like a life-enhancing experience. Great footage too. Something Mandy said reminded me of another couple I follow on tube. Adam Booth runs an engineering channel called Abom79, and he and his wife Abby run a travel channel Abom Adventures. They're currently touring all over US in their trailer and they use a travel log book and stamp it at every location on arrival. Seems it's a big thing over there and a great idea. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and keep up the good work.

    • @johnmandy
      @johnmandy  3 года назад +1

      I’ll be giving the original a good checkout once we can take a few days off, then I’ll know if it can be repaired. When we’re able to I’ll probably add a second Victron 30a b2b too, that way I’ll be more confident things will continue to work.
