Stavanger is actually one of the few "larger" cities in Norway I have never been to. I have lived in Oslo, Kristiansand, Trondheim, Kristiansund, Kongsberg....and a couple of others. And I have been in Tromsø and Alta. All over Norway, but never Stavanger, maybe it's about time. :)
Love a good port city! Seagulls singin, water lapping! Our favorite ❤️. You guys went from, trying to pronounce Iceland to Denmark to Norway. lol does have some vibes of Iceland. Nice place! Oh those beers are huge. That van is smaller than the Iceland camper. They stock it full. 🎉
Haha yes it’s been a crazy Scandinavian adventure from one language to another 🤣 Norway is so beautiful tho, you will have to visit at some point. It might be the most beautiful country we have seen..
If you come to Røros, I will show you around:) An amazing small mining town in the mountains of Trøndelag. The whole town is on the UNESCO world heritage list :) 160km south-east of Trondheim
@@GoTimeTravels The small town city centre can be a little deceptive. It has similar size to Cork. Nice video btw. looking forward to see the rest of your adventure.
Yes, its the third largest urban area and could potentially become the second. Bergen is only aboud 20 000 more people in its urban area but on a larger area.
@@andywessel Both are small cities on a European scale, but if you look at the greater Bergen region (416,033 pop on 2,755 km2 in 2017) vs the greater Stavanger region (333,383 pop on 2,598 km2 in 2015) there is still a bit to go to catch up to Bergen. (Used the figures that are most close by year, I can't find figures for Stavanger after 2015) Also Bergen is in a large process of densification along the light-rail tracks (bybanen) these days so it's unlikely the Stavanger region will become bigger in the near future, but in the far future it much depends on how the infrastrucutre is prioritized (like Hordfast and Bergen - Voss being upgraded, which is delayed, but still very much planned). Also no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byregioner_i_Norge shows that in a 45 minute radius (I assume with car) Stavanger has about 310k while Bergen almost 380k, so the difference is a bit more than only 20.000, it's more like 70.000 Sources: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bergen_Region en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Stavanger

Bergen is quite isolated and the topography makes growth more difficult than in Stavanger and Trondheim. The greater Stavanger area is flat and densely populated with a lot of suburbs that will be connected to the urban cluster when future expansions will be built between them. The Rogfast project will also in the future connect the Haugaland region in the north of Rogaland to Nordjæren by under an sea tunnel system that will half the travel time between these areas and technically making it into the Stavanger metro area thus its under 45 minutes from centre to centre adding about a 100 000 people into commute zone. The whole of Rogaland is Small. It Is about 5 times smaller than Trøndelag and almost half the size of the old Hordaland county, over 3 times smaller than Vestland county but with over 500 000 people making it much more densely populated than Hordaland, Vestland and also Trøndelag. Second only to the Oslo region. the existing jærbane local train runs up and down Jæren all the way to the southern tip of Rogaland county every 15 minutes and 19 stops on a journey that takes an hour from top to end. The train from Bergen to Voss (1 hour), has 10 stops and many of them in smaller places. Outside Bergen, the whole of vest land doesn't really have any larger urban areas that exceed 10 000 people, including Voss witch is the largest stop on this route with only 6745 people.
Interesting to hear that Ø is only used in the norwegian language.. I shall remember to tell that to my fellow danes, so we can stop using it.... btw.... took me 0.7 second to google this : Ø is a letter used in the Danish, Norwegian, Faroese, and Southern Sámi languages.... Camper travel is awesome in Norway.... have fun with that....

As someone in another port town basically in the middle between Stavanger and Bergen, the seagulls... you kinda stop noticing them as much, until they shit on your car, or on you for that matter, if there's a lot of seagulls over head... seek shelter. As they're massive birds, so locals call them "Sjithauk" or translated "Shithawk" :P Edit: Also, I'm glad that signs are proper... I totally forgot you can turn right off that intersection at 18:17 to get to Bergen, out of sheer habit I'd have continued straight through my town and end up the same place as the road you took, only slower... and this is despite using that road a lot when I drove a delivery van, and the fact we used to have a cabin along that road... XD
You really care ? Is it that important to you ? What some dude from another country writes? Welcome to Norway if you are fluent ? Fuck off. Well made Reaction tho.
Beer looks pretty great trhere nice...Nice Drive... Birds and Seagulls.. its been 4.5 hours from Melbourne,VICTORIA.. I was reminded... Statue was funny.. Lovely...
I was in Norway back in 2018 I was in a place called Drangedal. Absolutely beautiful country! So funny me and my husband couldn’t believe the amount of tesla! And that was bk in 2018😂
You guys visited Drangedal of all places? I used to live in that municipality for a while as a kid. It's in the middle of nowhere and basically just all forest. How the heck did you two find yourself there?!?
@@alixbehan1985 Well, I'm definitely impressed. Oo Where did you go in Drangedal? Prestestranda, the municipality capital? Nestlandsvatn in the south (lived there a little while)? Or one of the northern settlements of Bustrak (known for a obscure musician and essentially nothing else, also I lived there for a while), Gautefall, Bø, Grova or Tordal? Bø is somewhat famous, although I don't remember why. There's also a few even smaller settlements then the ones mentioned, but they don't even show up on Google maps unless you zoom in pretty close.
@@Albet27 I lived in the middle of the damn forest...litterally, in Norway. It was 4 km to the nearest pawed road. We lived at the END of a gravel forest road. For 6 years...4X4. :)
@@Albet27 I didn't go to the store without a chainsaw and an axe...and a shot gun. One time I had to get 5 LARGE trees out of the way to get to the shop, that was 20 (US) miles away. In 20 inches of snow.

Norway is actualy the contry with the highest % of electric cars on the road, in the entire world.
Thank you so much for watching 🥰 we seen a lot of electric cars but we didn’t realise it has the highest % on the road…👍
@@GoTimeTravels It's around 24-25% of all cars now. Around 85-90% of all new cars sold are electric.
