DISAPPOINTMENT in LOFOTEN | Norway Travel Guide (Ep 5)

- Lofoten Islands, Norway - Day two on the Lofoten islands finds us en route to Svolvær for the World Cod Fishing Championship.
Along the way, we stop in the historical fishing village of Nusjford.
Our Lofoten Road Trip continues with a stop in Unstad - the surfing capital of Lofoten and Northern Norway.
In Svolvær, we prepared for the World Cod Fishing Championship to be held that weekend.
We made a quick trip to another beautiful lofoten fishing village of henningsvær.
However, the big dream of competing in the World Cod Fishing Championship in Svolvær never came true as the unpredictable weather of Northern Norway showed itself again.
Unfortunately, we had to leave the Lofoten Islands without fishing, but the beautiful landscapes and friendly people made it all worth it!

TRAVEL DEEPER.
THANKS FOR WATCHING! 🙏Don't forget to check out the video description with all links, FAQs, and helpful information! 👍
Otherwise, as always, come say hi on Instagram ➡️instagram.com/tourist2townie 😃
are you not missing the Philippines, its 29 degrees Celsius in Manila & in Siargao around 33 deg. celsius... see you soon
I've visited Norway last year and want to go back again. I'm from Canada and this country is beautiful, but I think Norway is more beautiful. I've hiked Trollstigen and Preikestolen Rock when I was there. Also drove through the Atlantic Ocean road. Enjoy Norway!
please say you are staying in Norway to 17 mai! It would be so cool to get an outside perspective of what you think about our national day (the day Norway got a constitution) :D
I think his videos are delayed, so he's probably not in Norway now.
Oh man, I wish I was still there to experience it! Hopefully I can come back next year to film!! Thank you!
@@GarethLeonard please do! Your videos are really well shot and entertaining :D
SmileWithYourTeeth I moved here in time for it! As a guy who had never even been to Europe, it did not disappoint! I’ll be buying my own bunad for next year. Norge for alltid 🇳🇴
@@Robdoesitall omg cool! :D wich bunad do you think you will be buying? :D personally i think the "vossabunad" for guys is really cool, but i am biased since i am from voss ;)
bro your Norway series is the amazing beautiful sweet and no 1 bro
Let me know if you come further north! Btw, weather these days is a bit shait.. cant wait for the four days of summer!
Haha, I'm coming back in the summer to see the difference!!
Just found your channel, and I would like to thank you for showcasing our country in such a beautiful way. Keep up the good work!! (So sorry about our prices though. They are insane. 😶)
Haha, thank you for watching Kristin!! Yes, I was thrown off by the prices, but the landscapes and people made it all worth it!
It looks so cold there, it makes Scotland look warm 😂
Haha, I think Norwegians summer in Scotland 😂
Millennial Travel Confessions in the summer it’s like 30 celsius so it’s great
Its called WINTER dude!
Your Norway videos have shown a great side of True Norway. Amazing work!
Right?! Like, never stop.
Thank you so much Chris, that means a lot!
"Styrhuset" means "the bridge" on a ship, not captains cabin. I really enjoy watching your trip to Norway!
Eller wheel haus, sikkert feil skrevet.
Correct, that is what Steve meant, we just couldn't remember the correct term while drinking beer! Haha, thanks for the info!
No. Wheel house would be more correct. There is only a bridge on big vessels, but not on small ones (like the small fishing boats). But all boats no matter the size can have a "styrhus".
Steering house is an alternative translation.
I love European country I love Europe food I love European culter Europe country is the most beautiful and rich bro
The country of Europe is a pretty lovely country, lol. Almost as nice as the countries of Asia and Africa.
Nabium .....no the European countries are more beautiful the Asia and Africa
@@mathiasebbesen8695 I was just making fun of him calling a whole continent a country, don't really care which is the most beautiful.
@@Nabium haha, I realised that now, lol. sry for being blind...
@@mathiasebbesen8695 haha :P null stress
Freeze the shot at 1:59 and check out the prices on the blackboard.
1 USD is around 9kr
EXPENSIVE, huh? 💰
Norway is very beautiful. Its the national day today. Hip Hip Hurrra! Gratulerer med dagen Norge! 🇧🇻 ❤️
Wow!!!such magnificent vlog...I haven't experience winter snow!!,hope someday. ..Thanks for sharing this video sir,enjoy the beautiful country Norway!!!! :-) :-) :-)''..cheers Philippines!!!!!
Shit, Gareth, I wish I knew you were there. I was there as well both friday and saturday, and I would've liked having a beer with you :) First time in the history of VM i Skreifiske that they cancelled it. Real bad luck..
Oh man, what a historic year to pick! 🤦♂️ Haha!
Norway is now on my bucket list. Amazing. That said, I'd joyfully avoid the cod fishing championship.
Haha, fair enough!
Wow the prices are off the chart. Almost 200kr for breakfast.
💸💱
yep
Gareth Leonard is the my favourite you tube channel
Nice video
Cheers!
@@GarethLeonard I want to be like you. Thanks for reply
I could litterally see my house in this video! Thanks for showing our beautiful traditions
We are visiting family in Norway in June (we are in Norway 2-3 times each year).
Your videos have given us some new traveling ideas and we will do a road trip this time;
Bergen- Stavanger- Kristiansand- Odda - Bergen.
Thank you Gareth & Steve for sharing your journey.
Amazing scenery... Loves his channel...❤️♥️
Thank you so much Sammi!
That cinnamon bun certainly wasn't a disappointment.
The red on those houses is not red as the red of Steve's ears.
Haha, I told him to put on a winter hat!
Love me some 💗 cinnabuns
Sucks you guys were not able to compete...but bar hopping looked fun!
My father was heading up to the competition on saturday. Made it to all the way from trondheim to bodø with his boat, only to turn around
Started watching your videos like an hour ago, and all of a sudden there is a new one. Love it!
Haha, that's awesome! Thanks for watching. 😃
This is so beautiful. Norway 🇳🇴 Norway
Lofoten is best in the summer. So many people from different places in Norway go there for the summer and a lot of backpackers. My favorite place to be in the world during the summer!
All places in the Nordics are best in summer. I'm from Oslo and I've had several almost magical summers here (although Oslo has the quirk of becoming more quiet during summer vacation times, so it could be a bit more lively in the middle of summer. But it's still amazing). Norway has hundreds of really nice places in summer, and providing we don't have one of the raining away summers, Norway in general is super nice in summer. I love Norway the most for spring and summer, winter (and late fall) can be a bit rough even for me, a Norwegian.
Ive actually prepared a 3 dish course im the same building that you were in at unstad😍
Yes, Norway gets snow in May. Your up north. I live in Minnesota and you see many traditional Red Cabins. The North shore of Minnesota looks like the Norwegian coast.
I grew up in Cambridge, MN. I remember all the old red cabins. I've seen it snow in May back home.
Lovely footage! So beautiful 🤩 What time of the year was this? (Apologies if I missed this bit of info)
Such an interesting video on your Lofoten experience! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for enjoying!
Those cinnamon buns was over 7 USD
love you Norway
Why did"nt you come in the summer guys,are you fond of snow,ice and gale force winds?!
Hi mate... I think nothing is Disappointment for you & hopefully everything gonna be hunky-dory by next year... the moment of cancellation due to weather conditions, the community is considered safety purpose for all peeps taking part where to make sure everyone is safe and sound.
Anyway, hv a great time to spend on beautiful place (Norway) as well as delectable foods & culture & awesome people there.
(The cinnamon rolls looks yummy & chewy texture, I like it though)
Cheers
Thank you so much Eric! You're absolutely right, we made the most of the experience, and definitely no real disappointment in this beautiful place!!
Well at least you participated in the World Beer Drinking Championship ;)...in my opinion that's a very nice replacement :D...awesome video as always...can't wait for the next one!!! :)
Haha, that's right! When life gives you lemons... drink beer!
Great quality production . Fun to watch scenes from my hometown Svolvaer
Thanks for watching Thomas! Svolvaer is such a cool place to call home!
Nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there
Lofoten was one of the most beautiful areas of the world I've ever seen. It just seemed to be so peaceful. Like you said, life is simpler there.
Very true!!
Surfing in winter there sure would be interesting and its always the way the day you want to play the rain keeps it away .
Now at least you drowned your sorrows with some good Irish medicine and its better to be alive to fish another day then go out in rough conditions.
All it means is you will have to go back next year love the video
Absolutely Mick!! Cheers! 🍻
You took rental car in bodo. Did you leave in svolvar ?
Your friend is kinda cute when tipsy 😄😉
We’re visiting Norway next year for the first time and this series has been so exciting to watch. We keep extending our plans so we can see more and more of the country. We’ll come for the cinnamon buns but will leave the surfing to those 40 years younger. Thanks for this great series....fantastic!
As a norwegian with alot of traveling experience in my home country, plan well, a few smart decisions and you end up spending half of what you might have had to spend:-)
Well you better bring lots oof money because this windswept Rock of a country is one of the most expensive places on Earth!
Norway weather is not your friend this time around Gareth. 🥶
I have to say, I am usually pretty lucky with weather while traveling, so I will take it! 😊
So Glad You Do What You Do
I appreciate it John.
i want to hug and kiss you coz your a real man
keep it up bro and love you bro
Gareth Leonard is the best of you tube
Wow snowing 💕💕
A bit shy of JUST 8 bucks for a cinnamon-bun is just the right price. Hahaha! No wonder why the RV-tourist from Germany stocks up before coming here, and leave with a freezer full of fish.
Dude! I love this video 📸 and I love all your videos. Amazing. Thank you
beautiful video bro
Norway is beautiful...but don't you miss the heat of Philippines?
Trees??
Very surprised to see glass and steel buildings in such a cold climate.
First not being able to go out on Trolltunga and now this, damn.. :/
What a beautiful paradise
Absolutely!!
Great information and well put together, heading that way in March next year.
What an opening view, though. This whole series has been an incredible journey.
Thanks so much for following along!
As a norwegian ive had that kind of cinnamon bun many times before but i still prefer the ones from cinnabon in America.
I actually agree, don't tell anyone! haha
Great video, Gareth!
Thank you Nadia!!
Copenhagen has awesome Danish pastry. The best I have ever had. Coffee with cream and a Danish is heavenly
Very nice your videos! Love that!
BEAUTIFUL!! MAKES ME SAD WHEN I SEE THESE PLACES AND WILL PROBABLY NEVER GO IN THIS LIFETIME.I'M FROM CANADA, WOULD LOVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO..❤❤❤❤ Whoever lives there, you are truly blessed!!!!!
Just go. There are cheap flights from North America to Norway (Norwegian Air Shuttle). And the stay here dont have to be expensive. Go for airbnb with kitchens and make your own food etc..
Australia calling, you both did a wonderful job, I've always been very much interested in far northern Europe, like Iceland & all around Northern Scandinavia, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
Snow 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
😀
Well done !!!!
Thanks, Joel!
It’s just crazy to see all this cod fish when here in Newfoundland we’ve had a moratorium on catching cod for 20 plus years now...the only time we can catch it is in the summer for 3 weekend and allowed to catch only 5 fish per day
That is very interesting, thanks for the information!
Come to Kristiansand please
Love your amazing video!
bro you are genius
Thank you Bibek! Hopefully I can get to India soon! 🙏
I don't think you know what the word Genius means.

Love your amazing video!
All I can say is it’s beautiful and I can see it’s a little bit of a freeze zone..
It is definitely one of the most beautiful landscapes I have ever seen!
European locations r the best in the world.your previous Philippines series was cool. Love your blogs Gareth Leonard mate. 🍁🌴
Thank you so much!!
lets have fun at the Lofoten😜
When was this video taken? Early April?
March 20-22 👍
around 8 min you heare the najonal song in the backgrund
Good catch! 😃
One must respect the sea, you should check out northern norway in the summer.
Very true, respect the sea at all times.
The montage tho
Styrhuset = The Wheelhouse;)
Cant imagine how expensive all the beer ended up being
Probably about $150-200. Thats usually what I spend on alcohol.
Yey, new video!
😃Thanks for watching!!
Woww nice to much
Thanks!
@@GarethLeonardur welcome
@@GarethLeonard I hope I will see that in personal Norway amazing so cold
Wow guys why you don't understand the weather in Lofoten islands:) ? Cool really there. I loved much the video ! The snow in Lofoten I can understand :) beautiful and white around there.
It is absolutely beautiful in the winter!
@@GarethLeonard Sure !
While her in Philippines so much hot....
Haha, very different from here right now, huh?
Come to Kristiansand! We have Dyreparken zoo and one of the most unike cities in Norway
I'm adding it to my list for next time!
@@GarethLeonard Yes. Hit me up if you want a local guide!
Styrhuset is the bridge on a ship
That's what Steve meant, we just couldn't think of the word, haha.
Yummy! Love at Ist Bite of Cinnaban it's for me! I'm Jelly with that Cinnaban. LoL 😀
It was pretty delicious, especially with the fire going and it being so cold outside! 🔥
@@GarethLeonard, It sounds so romantic. I can only imagine how satisfying that would be for you. 😉❤️
Relentless snow: hahaha. The car barely needed brushing.
Haha, that shot was taken after I brushed off the car! I probably should have filmed the "before" to make it more real!
Gareth Leonard I enjoyed your video, but I mean if the road is open, your fine. I love the way Norwegian manage snow and ice. No salt is used. I also had my first opportunity to use an ice crossing over a river. Very unnerving experience but it totally works. We had a hot spell and I was using a crossing that had water flowing over the top of it 🤣. Than was near Bardufoss.
65 Krones is like $10 usd?
vamoalla9 86nok = 10usd
Haha that's me holding the camera at 7:10. Cool video!
Really!? That's awesome!!
@@GarethLeonard Yes mate. I work at the local newspaper and we were covering the cancellation of the world championship. Too bad you didn't get to participate!
I ❤ Cinnamon Buns 🥞🥞
Yassss!
Yass 😁
Ummm the bread looks yummy
It was delicious!
am shure u freezing up there, cant trust the Norwegian Weather :)
Haha, we learned that very quickly up here, but it is reality.
It's not so much the cold, it's the unpredictability of the bipolar weather.
(Svolvær is 30 min away)
Great again!
Cheers!
More cowbell!:)
Yes!! LOL
