    Thank you, Pål for your really great videos. I am currently in the middle of my family summer holiday planning. We will arrive in Oslo on a Friday at around midday. We will then take the night train to Bergen, where we will spend the weekend and subsequently start our staged journey back to Oslo with a rental EV with stops in the Hardangerfjord region and Rjukon. I already learned from another video of yours that we don’t need to keep the rental car for our stay in Oslo because of the very good public traffic system. From your Bergen video it appears that we would actually be well advised renting the vehicle only from the point in time when we leave Bergen and return it once we arrive in Oslo, because there is actually no need or even use for a car in either of these cities, right? Appreciate your short response. Cheers, Urs

    Your insights have been invaluable in our planning process. Thank you once again for your assistance.

    Ahh, we went there when visiting Norway in 2019. Unfortunately, we were both ill with some cold virus and felt dreadful, so didn't do as much as we'd hoped but still managed the main 'must see' things, I think.

    This is the place my great great great grandparents left from Norway 🇳🇴 to America in 1860.
    They traveled from Osvåg Etne to Bergen. Then arrived in New York. After that they traveled to Iowa and ran a farm. They had several children who then had a lot of grandchildren.
    The grandchildren went to 4 different parts of America. That is California, Montana, Arizona, and Texas.
    Most of the family became very successful and to this day they own several businesses and make far above the national average.
    I still have family who live in Osvåg Norway 🇳🇴 and we keep in touch via Facebook.

      Reindeer is pretty lean meat, a bit more "wild" flavor than beef, but to be honest not a huge difference
