That thing at 2:05 is a type of mailbox known (roughly) as a toss-box. If you live in a rural area, you get your newspaper delivered into one of those instead of your doorstep or personal mailbox. It's done to keep delivery costs down. By the way, if you're ever back in Bugøynes (and not on a budget), the bistro there serves an excellent king crab. Bugøynes is actually the center for commercial red king crab fishing in Norway... It's also known as "Little Finland" since many people there are descendants of Finns who settled there in the 19th century. Many of them still speak Finnish.
We live in rural Australia. We have a similar system here. Where a side road leaves the main road there will often be a number of roadside mail boxes found at the junction. This is because properties might be kilometres or tens of kilometres apart, so this saves the mailman a lot of time driving down each side road. Also, large properties will often have a roadside mail box at the front gate. This because there can be a significant drive from the front gate to the homestead. For some sheep or cattle stations (ranch if you're American) the drive from front gate to homestead might be measured in hours. Mail addressed to these places is usually addressed to the person's name, then the letters RMB (for roadside mail box) then the specific number of the RMB.
That yellow box at 2:05 is a shared mailbox. It’s usually used for delivering weekend newspapers in sparsely populated areas. Locals come to the box and pick up the paper with their name on it. You could argue that it indeed is a kind of a library 🙂
I have been fascinated by Norway for many years. It’s beauty that I have only seen in photos has made me wish I could go. I will never be able to go because of my health. Thank you so much for making this video. I wish so much I could experience what you are.
The yellow "boxes" by the road you see so often, that is where dairy farmers used to place their full milk containers, and then the trucks would pick 'em up and replace the same numbers of can with empty ones :)
I don't know about Finland, but I doubt those are melkeramper ("milk stands"?), they're way too small for even a single commercial melkespann/milk container, which holds maybe 20 or 30 liters. Anyway, they would be obsolete nowadays, when milk is picked up by tanker trucks. Milk stands used to be meeting/gathering places for kids in rural areas in Norway by the way. Especially on evenings in summer. They were big enough for a bunch to sit on at the same time, joking, flirting and telling tall tales. Some, or most, would conveniently even have roofs.
Hi Kenneth! Thank you! Do you live in Bugøynes? We had a wonderful time and I can honestly say this day was a true highlight for me and I'll never forget our car picnic with the incredible view. Happy we got to at least spend a day in Norway! Now we need to get back... :)
I remember travelling to Norway 🇳🇴 back in 2017 on the Princess cruise 🛳 line. Favorite place was Flaam. But Finland 🇫🇮 is definitely on my bucket list.
It's gorgeous! The mountains and coastline....wow! Very rewarding place to do a road trip but wouldn't want to be on those roads in the winter - yikes :P
About the fox road thing! Same thing happened to us. We were driving from Finland to norway last year with a camper van and suddenly my mom sees 2 little baby foxes on the side of the road being super cute! They were having little play fights, playing in the bushes and leafs, it was adorable. We also had the same expirience with reindeers in Lappi. Theres reindeers everywhere on roads just chilling, this video reminded about those good moments in norway and im happy to say were going back in a few weeks!
Little boxes with roofs stuck to trees are nearly always intended as animal nesting sites. They are usually very species specific, and I imagine that the one you saw there might be a grouse hut where the hen can hop up and lay her eggs off the ground. Just best guess. It doesn't fit with the whole camouflage shtick they have going, but the height and size might fit. It could also be for owls. Someone from Finland might know. These things vary enormously across Scandinavia. But we really like our birds and will build homes for them all over the place.
Hey guys, I really love your videos and enjoy watching vlogs. No over edited clips and all natural realistic presentation including you two cute couple. Stay like this. Keep on making videos like this. May Allah bless you. Love from Bangladesh.
....LOVE NORWAY! What a beautiful landscape......! It reminds me so much of Newfoundland.......In Canada. Both places are God's country for sure! Thanks for the tour...I enjoyed it very much!
Their latitude was at 70deg north, same as prudhoe bay, north tip of Alaska. Looks alot like around St. johns and Anchorage. Not many can say they went south to Anchorage...
Cool, just an advice: Listen to the weather station and to local people before thinking about going any hiking at this time of the year,special in the mountains. Also , take care out on the road. It can be slippery and changes all the time, so if you are not used to winter contition and road driving, take it easy:) Roads here in north can be smalls and there is alot of heavy traffic.
It was really fun to see how you froze when you got out of the car! LOL !! The next time you go on a long drive, take off your outerwear, and use the heat in the car to a point you think is comfortable! Because when you get out of the car, you put on your outerwear again! Then the temperature will not seem as cold as you probably felt! Have many great trips, and say, you should definitely travel to Norway again, but further south, and preferably in August! To the west coast and the fjords there!
@@EileenAldis yea it is a truly special place for sure :) I dont live there anymore as my family & I moved to the city that I was born in around 4-5 years ago, but I do still visit as it is only around 1 hour worth of driving away. we still own a cabin and a house there tho so having a place to stay is not a issue
What a way to usher in 2020 :) Yes that village is absolutely adorable! And how blue is the water? Can't get over the info on that plant.which is also pretty. Mind blowing. Your back seat picnic was too funny!! Lovely drive too. Great shot of the aurora! Yay glad you caught some of it :) I guess the skies cooperated after all! Missed you guys. Wonderful video..and Happy New Year :)
Thank you, Scott! Just seeing your comment now. Happy new year to you too! Hard to believe it's a new decade again already. Times flies, eh? :) Yes, I was very thankful to see more of the northern lights. Didn't realize how difficult it can actually be to catch a glimpse! We also saw the Milky Way that night which was cool.
The temperature doesn't matter. As long as its dark and clear sky you can see the northern lights. But when its -10C or colder its often clear sky and then of course you have a better chance :) Grew up at 70' north and have seen the northern lights in all kind of temperatures which are possible to get when its dark (late August to early April). The rest of the year its to bright to get a good view. But its there - you just don't see it :)
Good to see that you still have a great trip :) Pity that winter has been so unusually warm and wet so you don't seen north in snow. But at least you are not totally frozen ;) Good picture of auroras, while cloudy night. Waiting to see next video, hopefully still in Finland ;)
Thanks, Ari! This was filmed before the snow...can't imagine those roads with lots of snow and ice! Yikes! Another Helsinki video is on the way next :)
It looks so peaceful and beautiful in Norway.. I think the fox was trying to lure you away so it could permanently borrow those salami sandwiches. Ohhh, now I want hot chocolate. Great video. Thanks.
hahah we never thought of that! ;) Guess our sandwiches were safe in the end so we could enjoy the picnic... And hot chocolate tasted even better than usual in the cold with that view...!
Happy New Year guys. Miss you two the past several weeks. We lived in Denmark and yes, wow the price of gas in Scandinavia is expensive. Would love to visit that first harbor town in the summer. Love the car trunk picnic😆😃 Sweet share, James and
aww thanks! Denmark is so expensive...I can only imagine the gas prices there 😭What an amazing place to live though. The car picnic was one of my favourite travel memories...so much fun! And you know how we love a picnic :)
Makes me wonder where you are now! Seems like you've been there along time now otherwise, since last video. Awesome view of colorful area. I hope the egg was Hardboiled this time 😄
mayby stokmarknes it's a bit futher north of lofothen and it is vere hurtigrutens burthplase is and you can take a fery to lofoten from melbu that's a 15 min drive from stokmarknes
I hadn't seen this video until just now. I've heard that Norway is among the most expensive countries to visit for travelers/tourists. I have a very similar sort of thing like Marc in wanting fuel pump numbers to be in whole & even numbers vs,..not. That's kind of wild that there was no official border presence on that road from what was shown, in crossing from Finland into Norway. Good idea to do your 'picnic' in the back end of your vehicle, being it is Norway & was within the first part of January on top of it, when this was posted, so very understandable to be chilled there. It's a bit surprising for how far up in latitude Norway is & in early January yet no snow to be seen around where you were in Norway.
This was not filmed in January. According to a reply to a comment here from Eileen Aldis to Emil T this was filmed in October. It is way colder and snowier in Bugøynes in January, for sure.
Thank you for the videos, they're delightful! Just FYI: Bygøynes was populated by people of Finnish descent -- many Finns from Lapland moved to northern Norway in the 19th century and early 20th century and not only to the are of modern Sør-Varanger (where Bygøynes is).
So glad to hear that - thank you! And thanks for sharing that bit of history. I remember hearing something about that and wanting to learn more. I've heard many people there still speak Finnish even!
@@exentr if you see Vardø on your map you will see that its between Istanbul and Ankara. So in fact we should have 3 timesones on Norway. But we chose to have only one.
@@TheBaardis Turkey is across the Mediterrean Sea from Egypt. They were roughly as far east as east Africa, via Istanbul and St.Petersburgh. I used google map app.
@@exentr Vardø is the easternmost town in Norway (and in all the Nordic countries), located at 31°E, which is east of Saint Petersburg, Kiev, and Istanbul. The eastern part of Finnmark is in the same time zone as the rest of the country, but it is more than an hour at odds with daylight hours.

i hear wintertires on the car, but when did you visit norway, cant see any snow and this in posted in January. Norway in amazing
I agree with Mark McCurdy's comment...Norway looks so much like Eastern Canada! What a gorgeous town! It was also interesting to see how abruptly the landscape changed when you crossed the border into Norway. I can't wait for your next adventure!
I have a job offer in Norway to work as an Engineer but I'm unsure if I want to take it because the culture there is very reserved, it's difficult to make friends with native Norwegians and it can get very quiet or lonely during the winters and evenings due to the lack of social life there! I'm from UK and it is such a hard decision!
The "Norwegians are reserved" myth needs to die. Norwegians are very easy going and quite open to new people from other countries. You'll make friends in no time. Once you get close to Norwegians you'll never want to leave. Depending on where you're going to work, Norway is very social, unless you're stationed on top of a mountain ;)
I think Norway would be a great place to live but of course it's a big move to change jobs and leave your home country for a new place. I wish you all the best with the decision! :)
Cool video, I just happen to live abit further north along the coast from there :-). Not sure if I understood correctly, but you sat inside the car operating the drone ? that would be illegal in Norway as the rule are you are to have visual view to the drone at all time while flying it :-) however ... doubtful any police would have caught you there anyway but an advice just :-) there are suppose to come stricter or maybe have come some stricter drone rules where you have to have a sort of certificate to operate one .. not sure what or how that would mean for foreign people visiting ofcourse. Also when travling up in the north, always be aware that weather change fast :-) especially in the winter, and roads can be closed :-)
Now that's traveling!! Love this installment!! Norway is stunning! So why is it so expensive? Can you give us an equivalent cost for something from the US or Canada?
Found this explanation: “Norwegians get a lot for their money. Norway is so expensive because it has productive workers who can be used for work that produces many valuable products in a short time. Hourly rates of pay in Norway are high. Because most products and services entail the application of manpower, labour costs are high in Norway. This in turn makes products and services sold in Norway expensive. A beer is expensive because the barman has to be paid to compensate him for not going to the North Sea to work on oil exploration. Espresso is expensive because the waiter has to be enticed into making coffee instead of working in Norsk Hydro. Norwegian products are primarily expensive for foreigners. For Norwegians, they are cheap in terms of working hours, and compared to what foreigners have to pay in working hours for similar products in their native country. The Italians and French have to pay more to buy a litre of petrol and loaf of bread than we do in terms of working hours. High prices therefore equate to time being cheap. High prices go hand in hand with a high standard of living,” explains Erling Røed Larsen.
Eileen Aldis Very beautiful! I used to be priest in the church there. Older people (and some young) talked finnish in their daily life and only spoke norwegian when outsiders (like me) were present. I have many wonderful memories from services, baptisms and weddings there. I also had one funeral in that churchyard. The place was almost abandoned as a result of decline in the fishing-industry and the locals advertized themselves for sale in national newspapers in 1989. Today it's the most important landing for king-crabs in Norway.
Wow, thanks so much for sharing that! It's so cool to connect with someone who lived and served in that community. I'm glad you have so many good memories from your time there :)
Love your videos! I used to watch your "competitors" Kara & Nate, but honestly got a bit tired of their upstrung "American" way of being. You guys seem to be more relaxed and present where you are (are you from Canada perhaps?), actually enjoying the landscape/people, not only thinking about how it looks to us viewers. And not only staying in those amazing, but expensive accommodations not really available to mere mortals. Keep it up! 👍🏽

I'd love to know where you think our next road trip should be! 🚗🌍
Have a look further south and/or west in Norway too? Can't really believe you're travelling up north this time of year!
Try Lofoten 😉
Sweden as it's closer and much much cheaper! Norway is beautiful!
👍 🇺🇸 🇳🇴
Chicago, in the springtime 😁
what about Eastern Europe? 😆
A vote for Lofoten! Also super curious about Faroe Islands. Would love to see that adventure!

Hi David! Which part of Australia do you call home? Marc and I used to live in Sydney and then Melbourne.
Do you live in Norway

Are they used any more? That doesn't happen in western Lapland (specifically Enontekiö).
I’m not sure. At least the one in the video looks like it hasn’t been used for a decade 😃
Thanks a lot for letting us know! :)
Norwegians: *Allow us to introduce ourselves.*
When you enter Norway and show your elation, I feel, I am myself there !
That makes me very happy to hear!
I have been fascinated by Norway for many years. It’s beauty that I have only seen in photos has made me wish I could go. I will never be able to go because of my health. Thank you so much for making this video. I wish so much I could experience what you are.
The scenery is just spectacular and those colorful houses - wow!! 😍
Spectacular is the word!!

Thank you! We’d love to ❤️
....LOVE NORWAY! What a beautiful landscape......!
It reminds me so much of Newfoundland.......In Canada.
Both places are God's country for sure!
Thanks for the tour...I enjoyed it very much!
Maybe because Norway (Southern Norway, atleast), has the same latitude as Alaska and almost Newfoundland? 🇳🇴😊🇨🇦
@@mar754 A warmer climate, though. And if Norway is any god's country, it would be the Norse gods. :D
Newfoundland.... Norwegian Vikings was there 920 ago.

The fox wanted to show you its babies.
I am happy, because you are very lucky.but I'm jealous,because many people in our country(Sri Lanka) live in very hard even find foods....
I have a feeling that fox has been fed by humans before which is why it isn't shy around humans and is probably expecting some food.

@@exentr Vardø is the easternmost town in Norway (and in all the Nordic countries), located at 31°E, which is east of Saint Petersburg, Kiev, and Istanbul. The eastern part of Finnmark is in the same time zone as the rest of the country, but it is more than an hour at odds with daylight hours.
i hear wintertires on the car, but when did you visit norway, cant see any snow and this in posted in January. Norway in amazing
Hey Tomas! Yes, Norway is beautiful. We were there around the middle of October.
I agree with Mark McCurdy's comment...Norway looks so much like Eastern Canada! What a gorgeous town! It was also interesting to see how abruptly the landscape changed when you crossed the border into Norway. I can't wait for your next adventure!
It does! 🇳🇴😊🇨🇦
It was incredible how fast the landscape changed and those mountains popped up!
Great video! You guys are adorable! What type of drone do you have? I need one, but don't know where to start. Cheers! ♥
I hope you liked my country❤
We loved it ❤️
YAY, hei from 🇳🇴🇳🇴❤️❤️
Hello! :) Which part of Norway are you from?
@@EileenAldis Haugesund, more west. Between Bergen and Stavanger
I have a job offer in Norway to work as an Engineer but I'm unsure if I want to take it because the culture there is very reserved, it's difficult to make friends with native Norwegians and it can get very quiet or lonely during the winters and evenings due to the lack of social life there!
I'm from UK and it is such a hard decision!
The "Norwegians are reserved" myth needs to die. Norwegians are very easy going and quite open to new people from other countries. You'll make friends in no time. Once you get close to Norwegians you'll never want to leave. Depending on where you're going to work, Norway is very social, unless you're stationed on top of a mountain ;)
I think Norway would be a great place to live but of course it's a big move to change jobs and leave your home country for a new place. I wish you all the best with the decision! :)
Cool video, I just happen to live abit further north along the coast from there :-). Not sure if I understood correctly, but you sat inside the car operating the drone ? that would be illegal in Norway as the rule are you are to have visual view to the drone at all time while flying it :-) however ... doubtful any police would have caught you there anyway but an advice just :-) there are suppose to come stricter or maybe have come some stricter drone rules where you have to have a sort of certificate to operate one .. not sure what or how that would mean for foreign people visiting ofcourse.
Also when travling up in the north, always be aware that weather change fast :-) especially in the winter, and roads can be closed :-)
I like to be my country(Sri Lanka) as such country(Norway).........
I have never been to Norway, land of my forefathers.
It's gorgeous! Hope you're able to visit and connect with your roots someday :)
deez doods really stop for a fox at the side of the road? they cant have been outside a city before! XD
Looks like Newfoundland.
I can definitely see what you mean. Both stunning parts of the world 😍
You misses out of The «home cooked king crab meal” The Bistro in Bugugøynes”. For others, don’t make that mistake, it’s worth the X-ray $$$
Thanks for the recommendation! We had so little time there but glad we got a quick visit :)
Misspelled. For others, don’t make that mistake., it worth the extra $$, and it’s not that expensive.
Will you come to India in future ?
Yes! We really want to!
I mean the capition in 0:05 is so .... 🙃
Always traveling together,you are so romantic,,😍😊
Aww hehe we feel lucky to be able to explore the world together ❤️
Muy linda noruega
sí!
@@EileenAldis e visto tus videos de colombia y te felicito por hablar bien de nuestro sabiendo que el pais tuyo es muy hermoso
Tu eres de canada
gracias. si somos de canadá
Now that's traveling!! Love this installment!! Norway is stunning! So why is it so expensive? Can you give us an equivalent cost for something from the US or Canada?
Found this explanation: “Norwegians get a lot for their money. Norway is so expensive because it has productive workers who can be used for work that produces many valuable products in a short time. Hourly rates of pay in Norway are high. Because most products and services entail the application of manpower, labour costs are high in Norway. This in turn makes products and services sold in Norway expensive. A beer is expensive because the barman has to be paid to compensate him for not going to the North Sea to work on oil exploration. Espresso is expensive because the waiter has to be enticed into making coffee instead of working in Norsk Hydro. Norwegian products are primarily expensive for foreigners. For Norwegians, they are cheap in terms of working hours, and compared to what foreigners have to pay in working hours for similar products in their native country. The Italians and French have to pay more to buy a litre of petrol and loaf of bread than we do in terms of working hours. High prices therefore equate to time being cheap. High prices go hand in hand with a high standard of living,” explains Erling Røed Larsen.
Thanks for sharing, Betsy! Yes, it is stunning 😍
@@betsyfreeman6637 This in turn means that when we go abroad, most things are really, really cheap :)
👍💖
Norway gets a lot better than that.
Wish we'd had more time to explore but happy for the bonus to see something! Will have to return :)
❤️❤️❤️❤️🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴

Fox wanted to invited you home
You did not understand
*Norway friends dear*
Show me your arm
.....
Love You.
can we go to Russia next please
Yes! Russia videos coming very soon!
And then you went to the most Finnish place in all of Norway: Bugøynes! 🤓
haha that is kind of funny - I don't think we realized until later 😂 SUCH a gorgeous place 😍
Eileen Aldis Very beautiful! I used to be priest in the church there. Older people (and some young) talked finnish in their daily life and only spoke norwegian when outsiders (like me) were present. I have many wonderful memories from services, baptisms and weddings there. I also had one funeral in that churchyard. The place was almost abandoned as a result of decline in the fishing-industry and the locals advertized themselves for sale in national newspapers in 1989. Today it's the most important landing for king-crabs in Norway.
Wow, thanks so much for sharing that! It's so cool to connect with someone who lived and served in that community. I'm glad you have so many good memories from your time there :)
I'm from norway, lived here all my life, all is normal to me, i dont understand the hype:b
haha well you're from a beautiful part of the world, that's for sure.
Love your videos! I used to watch your "competitors" Kara & Nate, but honestly got a bit tired of their upstrung "American" way of being. You guys seem to be more relaxed and present where you are (are you from Canada perhaps?), actually enjoying the landscape/people, not only thinking about how it looks to us viewers. And not only staying in those amazing, but expensive accommodations not really available to mere mortals. Keep it up! 👍🏽
I'm sure Marc has Finnish or even Sami ancestry
Hi Terry! So curious why you think so
Eileen Aldis the shape of his eyes
ADS THE WHOLE TIME, SERIOUSLY?
