A LOT is closed in Norway on sundays, even big supermarkets. They are quite old fashion about their sundays BUT maby the rest of us should copy that and go out hiking instead of beeing indoors too much. Hejja Norge🎉
In UK it was normal to be closed on Sunday and half day Wednesday until late 80s. Then it all changed under the guise of "progress." Now everyone wants to have those days off, but no one wants to lose the shops being open.
I was in the hospital a couple of weeks ago and told to stay calm and avoid US election results. So I caught up on some Steve videos that I had missed. Much nicer than election results, in the short run.
So cool to see you in my hometown, Steve! Haukeland Sykehus is the main regional hospital (sykehus literally means house for the sick). You were right about the red and yellow kiosks, they were the old cable car cabins (and were named Perle and Bruse).
Bergen looks lovely. I wish the UK retained its old Sunday closing. It was so peaceful. These days all shops are open even on Bank holidays and Christmas.
Love the videos Steve, Bergen is just as i remember it. Recently had a stroke, spending many good hours working my through your videos, they are a real tonic. The dark nights aren't so bad as i can enjoy your travels. Thank you, they really do help and cheer me up.
The views from the mountain top are fantastic and it was nice you were allowed to wander around. The engineering on display is impressive. Thanks for the midweek video, it was very enjoyable.
Awesome!! You are hands down the best tour guide! Just like being with a friend. Thank you for braving the cold and climbing up the mountains. So rocky! Bergen is a lovely place and how nice they close on Sundays so most people can have a day of rest and family time like the old days in the U.S. Happy you had a great feed at the end you earned it!!
I don't mind the music, Like with you when I do videos, people seem to descend on me just when I take a short video for you tube. Love your trips around and cheers from Australia.
The stretcher/first aid point seems a good idea. Looking at the path I can imagine a few sprained and broken ankles over the year. Thanks Steve. A nice vlog.
Steve thanks! I’m off sick and this was just what I needed. I love that the gondola gave the full breadth of options for getting that amazing view. Thank you for popping up to the waterfall too. I could probably manage that having seen you do it. I know you don’t aim specifically to show people less able like me their options to do what you do, but you often manage to and I’m grateful. ❤❤
It’s scary, walking the hill up and down with that wind blowing. I couldn’t do it. I would just want to jump. Those scooters are cool. Thanks for taking us with you.
I'm ill at the moment and waited sooo hard for the message from TH-cam that your vid is on! 😊 Now 28 minutes will be a little bit happier. ;) Thanks for your work on the Wednesday-vids, Steve!
Another great video. I love Steve's walkabouts - he comes across things that could easily be missed. Views of Bergen and the surrounds were stunning. Norway is an amazing country for scenery. Always a bit worried when Steve clambers over rocky paths whilst filming views but I'm sure he takes great care.
Marvellous. Thanks Steve. A few years ago, I was in Bergen for the day and opted to go on the Red City Bus tour but it meant that I didn’t have time to go up the cable car and now I feel that I have 😊
"Utgang" in Norway and "Gang oot" in Scotland. That's our Viking heritage showing! Thank you for another fabulous trip, I love a cable car. Beautiful city too. Padlocks, especially on bridges, are a big no,no. What is the point? Alicja would love this, you'll have to come back....
@@janettesinclair6279 well in modern Swedish (still) they have the word gata, meaning road. We have this in the UK wherever you see Northgate, Westgate etc. But in Swedish gata is pronounced "yata", with a 'y' sound for the G. Hence we got our local corruption - Yatts Road, or "road road" 💕🤣
Steve, if you and Alicia ever have the opportunity to visit The Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee and North Carolina. I believe you’ll find beauty there that resonates with the spirit of Scotland's highlands. Many Scots boldly sought new beginnings in that region of the US before and after 1776, embracing the spirit of adventure that led to the birth of the USA.
Aw i studied in Bergen for a year 20 years ago. I walked up Ulriken and the one across from it. The trams weren't there then. I used to walk from the centre to my student room in Fantoft about 4 or 5 miles at least once a week. I love Bergen. Thanks for taking me down memory lane ❤
Wow! The scenic views from the top of that gondola ride were fantastic, enough to counteract your fear of heights I hope. It makes you appreciate what a beautiful world we live in. Great video, look forward to Saturday's episode😊
I was so worried you would fall when you were climbing to the summit! Thankfully, you finally reached ground level all in one piece. Another fun video-thanks Steve.
Just back from Tromsø myself, hope you have a good time. Best of luck for the northern lights too. Lots of things in town are open on Sunday, perhaps shutting a little earlier.
No need to feel guilty about getting tired after doing so much travelling. You do extremely well. My partner is amused because, for about half an hour after watching one of your videos, I talk with a Scottish accent! Well done Stevie.
Back in one of my favourite parts of the world (only behind Switzerland). I really like the way your adventures are as much about you learning about places as they are about showing destinations. I'm with you on the padlocks too. The beauty of the mountains is the mountains, not random bits of hardware - I feel the same about the craze of balancing rocks in towers.
Brilliant video. And the view was amazing. No wonder you are getting tired with the epic travels you have been going on. Watching your videos over these pass 4 years. I dont think anything slows you down because you just love what you do. Thank you again for taking us along with you. And "See you in the next one, bye bye"😄
One of the most beautiful towns in Europe. And you made it to the top! I stayed once in a hostel somewhere up there on a hill. The late evening view was amazing. Nowadays if I tried to walk up the hills they would bring a sack full of my bones within 15 minutes
Thanks Steve, the view from the top of the mountain was spectacular and the walk back into town passing those delightful houses, just grand. I am always sorry to see that no matter where you are in the world there always has to be a cretin with a spray can who feels it's their right to tag these beautiful buildings, flogging is to good for them, that's it rant over but I am sure I am not alone with that sentiment. Thanks again for another great video and stay safe and well, cheers from Oz.
Made a quick low cost short trip myself - so what is the best thing to do - watching an unexpected video from Steve - while relaxing in my hotel room in Pristina, Kosovo!
Love Bergen and the views from up there are amazing. Nice to see it again. Great video as always . The cable car wasn't running when I was there one evening so it was a quite a slog up and down before dark, but well worth it.
Thank you Steve! treat to watch as always! and in beautiful Norway - one of my favourite places on the planet. I remember first time going there - I kept stopping and thinking - God, this is most beautiful view I have ever seen, only to say that again half an hour later :)
aye Steve - this time you caught me in the act (in a memory)... a bit over 10 years ago I met a really nice Norwegian girl here in Scotland, and there was a wee bit of flirtation going on, but it didn't lead to anything, except for small talk (shy me!), and she traveled on too quickly... never saw her again, but remember to this very day, that at the time she worked in that posh restaurant at the top station of that cable car, and I was super curious to see how it looks inside! So I was a bit distracted, while I watched you scrambling around on the rocks... sweet memories! 😎
I was not able to sleep the 1st time that I was on a train. Over time, I've learned to sleep on trains. Now I fall asleep in a train sleeper within 5 minutes of going to bed. The trains rocks one back and forth, just like a baby being rocked to sleep. I appreciate your videos. My Irish grandmother and her family would have loved your accent. Our family used to laugh because her Irish accent became more pronounced when she got together with her siblings and their children.
Another great video Steve. What a fantastic view from the top of the cable car and even better when you climbed the hill. I think i would rather walk down from the bottom of the cable car to town as it is downhill. Catch you on the next one.
Hoi, Steve, really interesting and well done. Super to view it with you´re eye´s, been to BGO/Bergen, up the Ulriken, the same way like you and done another real recommendable Baan, the Bergensbaan. Looking for more, you know. Greetings, Markus
Thanks so much for a fantastic tour of Bergen. The gondola was amazing and wow those views! Glad you had something better than a hotdog. I really enjoy your videos. Cheers from Melbourne Australia

If you ever decide to do merch - hats, t-shirts, hoodies, coffee mugs etc you should have "Aye, let's go" printed on them!
That’s a wee hat, a wee tshirt, a wee hoodie 😂
put me down for two
And " I could live there" 😂
And "Always uphill!" 😂
So many ideas in here!!!!
Now you're just spoiling us with all these uploads 🙂 Cheers Steve!
As the nights have set in it's nice to sit in the warm and watch Steve walking in sunshine.
@@garethjones6082- I wonder what the waterfall @ 21:15 looks like in winter frozen in sheets. Maybe Alicija will get you there when it's cold.
A LOT is closed in Norway on sundays, even big supermarkets. They are quite old fashion about their sundays BUT maby the rest of us should copy that and go out hiking instead of beeing indoors too much. Hejja Norge🎉
Thats not old fashion ar all , is in many countries to!
I found out the hard way you can't buy beer in the stores on Sunday 😞
In UK it was normal to be closed on Sunday and half day Wednesday until late 80s. Then it all changed under the guise of "progress." Now everyone wants to have those days off, but no one wants to lose the shops being open.
Cheered me right up from my hospital bed. Thanks Steve.
Hope things are going well Kieran!

I concur as I am learning bokmal
Beautiful city!
Bergen looks lovely.
I wish the UK retained its old Sunday closing. It was so peaceful. These days all shops are open even on Bank holidays and Christmas.
Steve: "Trying to conserve a bit of energy"
Also Steve: Let's scramble up to that summit
My heart is in my mouth watching you standing on the edges with that wind blowing. I couldn't do it so well done you. Love the videos
It's actually not as bad as it sounds. The winds don't blow you off. You might have surprised yourself how well you would have done.
Microphones also tend to make wind sound louder/more intense than it is.
Steve, the best experiences are often spontaneous
Love the videos Steve, Bergen is just as i remember it. Recently had a stroke, spending many good hours working my through your videos, they are a real tonic. The dark nights aren't so bad as i can enjoy your travels. Thank you, they really do help and cheer me up.

My wife and I went to Bergen and Alesund in the summer of 2022 and loved it! It’s highly recommened
I was in Norway last year for the first time, WOW!!! the whole country looks "brand new" SOOOO clean and beautiful.
Unexpected days are always the best days. I’m looking forward to what’s in store.
Cheers mate, this was one of my favourite trips ever
Wow. The renovations to Ulriken look amazing. The cable car I rode in 2018 was tiny and ancient but the views are still stunning. Thanks, Steve!
Steve! Part goat. There was no path. Thanks for taking me along!
That was a jolly scenic trip out! Thanks
Hi Steve, you certainly are racking up those miles at the moment and I'm really enjoying the content.
Wow, the fun never stops, I quite liked the music overlay, something different. Another stellar video Steve, thank you!
My eyes are off the scenery, hate heights, well done Steve being out in such a windy day, be safe.
I don't mind the music, Like with you when I do videos, people seem to descend on me just when I take a short video for you tube. Love your trips around and cheers from Australia.
I love these pleasant surprises in the middle of the week, Steve.
The stretcher/first aid point seems a good idea. Looking at the path I can imagine a few sprained and broken ankles over the year. Thanks Steve. A nice vlog.
Finally he come back to Norway! 😀 Looking forward to the next one on saturday!

@ Thank you
Steve is just messing with us with these mid-week out of order videos. I like it.
Another awesome video! Fantastic views of Bergen! Thank you!
What a nice way to end a work day
It’s scary, walking the hill up and down with that wind blowing. I couldn’t do it. I would just want to jump. Those scooters are cool. Thanks for taking us with you.
Bergen light rail. What a great asset.
The gondolas another great venture. The view over the populated area and far into the distance. Wow!!!
I'm ill at the moment and waited sooo hard for the message from TH-cam that your vid is on! 😊 Now 28 minutes will be a little bit happier. ;) Thanks for your work on the Wednesday-vids, Steve!
Thanks for all your brilliant “normal person” travel vids! Love them - don’t stop!!
Yay new video! It’s Wednesday night around 9pm here in Sydney Australia. I do look forward to your videos!
Me too - in Melbourne!
@@Beepsahello I am from old South Wales 😅
Wellington, New Zealand here but I work for an NSW organisation so G'day mate!

I've been known to trip and fall over :D
Stevie “wee bit” Marsh, what a way to start the day!
@5:55 you missed a perfect opportunity for “wee bit”!
@8:48 the wee football stadium. You totally redeemed yourself. You are going to have to make some “wee bit” merch
Great to see so much of Bergen - lovely city in an amazing country - they really have scenery. Thank you.
Love the extra videos before the actual ones .. Keeps us on our wee toes!!!😊😅😢😂😂😂😂😂
Marvellous. Thanks Steve. A few years ago, I was in Bergen for the day and opted to go on the Red City Bus tour but it meant that I didn’t have time to go up the cable car and now I feel that I have 😊
Thankyou I always enjoy your videos take care
can`t not wait to show this to my dad saturday. very beautiful
Wow an extra from Steve and Scott this morning, thank you🖐🇺🇸

Old Norse is a delight. I'm in the North York Moors and we have an Outgang Lane, Keld Lane and (my favourite) a Yatts Road connecting us to town 😊
More like dialectical continuum, really. There's a lot of scots words that are perfectly reasonable in Norwegian. Like bairn = barn for example.
@@gavster_999 Interesting! What does the Yatts in Yatts Road mean?
@@HrHaakon I love finding these connections in Northern European languages.

Norway is so lovely and everywhere was so clean! Years ago, visitors used to say that about the UK. Ho hum. Great video Steve. Cheers m'dear. 🙋👍🙏🙂

Sounds absolutely wonderful!
This view was stunning it's now become a highlight of my week ❤❤❤
Reminds me of the Glens back home. Must look stunning in the snow. Excellent content as always Steve.
Great vid…did the cable car in Tromso a few weeks ago followed by walk across mountain at the top ,it was wonderful with tremendous views.
Thanks Steve, really enjoyed this. The views were just stunning, good on you climbing up there in that wind. ❤xx

Lovey video and beautiful scenery! How many times has Steve said! “I don’t know where I am”😂
Thank you, Steven! That was a good one! I have friends in Bergen, but never visited myself.
Best wishes from St.Petersburg, Russia!
Thanks mate!
I was so worried you would fall when you were climbing to the summit! Thankfully, you finally reached ground level all in one piece. Another fun video-thanks Steve.
This looks like a good un!
Had fantastic weather when I was there 🤓😎
Excellent Steve ❤💥❤
I'm off to Norge next week.... Oslo and Tromso....I will have to remember that Sundays are quiet!!
Just back from Tromsø myself, hope you have a good time. Best of luck for the northern lights too.
Lots of things in town are open on Sunday, perhaps shutting a little earlier.
No need to feel guilty about getting tired after doing so much travelling. You do extremely well. My partner is amused because, for about half an hour after watching one of your videos, I talk with a Scottish accent! Well done Stevie.
Haha brilliant !
Wow . I need to get back to Norway soon , just love the scenery in this video . I can imagine breathing that beautiful fresh air .
Commented about Ulriken on your video about Bergen and Stavanger over a year ago.
Glad to see that you finally got to do it :)
Cheers! :)
See those clean windows and glass railing? Looking at you, ScotRail!
Wow! The views are fantastic! Another great video! Thank you.
A really enjoyable video thanks Steve. Bergen looks like a lovely place to visit. Stunning views from the summit.

A very good Thursday morning to you all
Love these extra videos.they help the week pass.my opinion best bits was the walk back those houses are really beautiful
What a way to start my day. Wednesday nov 20 7 am. Alberta canada. Thanks Steve!
Brilliant, heading back to Bergen. I am there for 4 days at Christmas so might add this to my hiking list. Your channel always adds inspiration
Stunning. Gorgeous. Spectacular. Thanks for taking us along. 😊
Great video view's where spectacular and true beautiful city 🤓👍
Another great video Steve.
What a fantastic view from the top of the cable car and even better when you climbed the hill.
I think i would rather walk down from the bottom of the cable car to town as it is downhill.
Catch you on the next one.
Hi from Bergen, going down is the worst part, hard on your knees with 1333 steps and a 300+ metres elevation difference, pretty steep!
Hoi, Steve, really interesting and well done. Super to view it with you´re eye´s, been to BGO/Bergen, up the Ulriken, the same way like you and done another real recommendable Baan, the Bergensbaan. Looking for more, you know. Greetings, Markus
Cheers Markus!

Great look at Bergen
I spent a week in Bergen in September, it was wonderful.
I walked up the mountain, it was very enjoyable.
I also bought a 5 day pass fjordcard for the ferries and enjoyed trips up the 2 Fjords, I recommend it if you have the time, enjoy ferries and don't want to be restricted to the timetables of organised trips.
Well done with that walk!!!!
@steve-marsh I had plenty of time and the weather was perfect 🥰
