The 1950 house at Maihaugen with the sink in the hallway, was used to empty filthy buckets of water, after cleaning the floors/house etc. and also used two clean your hand after using the toilet, mostly situated at the end of the hallway. Not every toilet had its own sink in those days. Very practical to keep everything clean and hygienic in the kitchen and the bathroom. I should know. I was born and raised in a home like that. 🙂
When mum and dad got together they rented two rooms upstairs in a fifties house. There was a sink and cooked on the landing as the owners rented two living spaces out. Wouldn't be allowed now. ;-)
As someone who lives in Lillehammer I’m actually ashamed to realise how few times I’ve visited Maihaugen in my life. I’m actually going to take a trip on Shiblanser this summer with my family. The worlds oldest running steam boat. It was built in 1856 and it’s still sailing on Mjøsa every summer.
I’m enjoying this trip so much. A lady I look after followed news of the Kon-Tiki expedition and has visited the museum. She loaned me her book about this amazing journey. I’ll look forward to seeing the next video. Huge congratulations on reaching 30k subscribers. Here’s to the next 30k! X
Lovely idea to bring all those old buildings together. Nice that you could really get immersed in it all. Hair wash with one jug. Most impressive! Good to hear your opinion of the roads and driving. Car parking was quite dear. But as you say, only here once 👍😊
The sign with the moose means that between the next 100 meters to 500 meters is especially high risk of moose crossing the road. Love your vids! I'm from Kristiansand myself😊
I enjoyed your visit to the Maihaugen Museum. When I travel, I love to visit old houses and I get a feeling of how people used to live. It's history. Thank you for sharing and stay safe 😊
The stocks (neck band) are for inattentive husbands Ken. Those that put cold water in the jug for hair washing. Good job you and I only need a wet flannel. Have you been to Singleton and the historic houses there… it’s much better than it was when I first went 30 years ago, and the repair shop on the bbc is filmed there. Posh cafe too, needs checking out by someone.😉
We went to the Weald and Downland Living Museum several years ago before it was used for filming The Repair Shop. Will have to make a return visit to check out that cafe 🙂
I do enjoy hearing the casual chit chat between you as you travel. Nice touch. The village with the old buildings/homes/churches was a winner. I love the fact that hundreds of years ago people were going about their daily lives like us yet it was so different. The 70’s house brought back memories for me since I was born in ‘62. Take care and be safe, Mary
Back in the 90s I studied modern history from 1700 onwards. Some of the classes were in one of the houses on Maihaugen. Talk about learning history - Norwegian history in such an historical place. Among the topics - Norwegian workers-movement in early 1900s. You can feel the importance in the historical buildings.
I have arthritis so find it difficult to wash my hair in the van, until that is I came up with this idea. Other people may find this useful too. We have the worktop that has the bowl in the middle with the cooker to the side. We got a bath towel and laid it on the worktop. Then cut out the shape of the sink and machine the cut to stop fraying. You then have a washing up bowl on the worktop filled with water that your partner uses to tip over your head whilst you lean over the sink being able to steady yourself on the worktop edge. No fear of falling over. Eithet you or your partner washes the head. The laugh comes when you hang the towel out to dry with people wondering what the hell you are doing with a bath towel with a large hole in the middle. Anyway for me it works and I feel secure leaning against the worktop. Standing in a shower is no good for me as I fear falling. This way its safe. Loved your video.
The museum showed just how things have evolved over the years in terms of home comfort..when you look what we all take for granted now we are so bloody lucky & don't really realise it!! Carole make a mean bacon butty Ken😋 i should imagine night time driving on roads your certainly not acustomed to takes some concentration. As for the marathon, its a lot easier just walking leisurely 😅 another enjoyable vlog fr the little Red camper 💯👌
After Carol's hair wash, I was ready for Ken to say "Now, it is my time!" :) I always enjoy your choice of music and scenaries. So calming and relaxing! Thanks for another lovely episode :)
16:41 If you come in the summer you'll find night driving more enjoyable I think. Moose on the road is mainly a problem in winter when there's deep snow in the forest. Although animals of all kinds *can* show up at all times it's mostly livestock that'll show up in summer as they're not afraid of us while wild animals usually are.
The Garmo Stave Church and surrounding buildings have huge amounts of timber in their construction. Being so old, I would imagine that they would have an unusual odour. Every video you show some amazing things.
They'd be covered in tar to preserve them. Unfortunately the method to make the high quality tar used on stav churches back in the middle ages that allowed them to survive till today has been lost, so they need modern tar applied far more frequently to get the same effect.
The Kon-Tiki expedition was a journey by raft across the Pacific Ocean from South America to the Polynesian islands. The raft was called Kon-Tiki after the Sun God of the Incas people.
The museum is very similar to the Weald and Downland Museum near Chichester that also saves old buildings very interesting to see the Norwegian buildings
THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR TRAVELS THROUGH NORWAY! WE visited for the first time in April 2022 and loved it! Your videos have helped me see what I wasnt able to see for myself. I really liked the museum visit. we toured a slightly smaller version of the home museum in Oslo. it was fascinating.
Loved the museum. Claud loves nosing around other people's homes, especially 'tiny homes', so that was a nice treat. Fab park up right by the lake. Take care x
Another great video for Norway. The Maihaugen Museum reminds me somewhat of our Williamsburg, Virginia, and Greenfield Village, Michigan with the exception of the 1950s house. I hate driving in the nighttime anymore with the way too bright LED headlights.
Well did Ken put his shorts on and joined in the marathon, we would like to see that one. There is Museum of the early houses just out side Kristiansand that we have been too. We love your tour bringing back memory’s. Joe &Ellie
Wow beautiful video guys ,again. Night time driving in a different country and opposite side of road is tricky , I've drove through Washington DC last year ,dark night and extreme rain ......sat nav brough us through it even though was meant to go around .....now that was not nice driving ..... 😃. Those old houses were fab ...kinda reminded me a bit of Amish houses we seen in Ohio last year ,really interesting. Thanks for sharing ,already looking forward to Fridays video.
4:10 That looks a lot like our boats here in Trøndelag, although we have wooden boards above the edge to shield against waves in rough seas and ours had sails. And perhaps a *tiny* bit deeper. But the idea is that when you reach speed you push the water down into a specific shape that kind of helps you drift less from wind hitting your sail from the side, as if your boat is deeper then it actually is. I don't know all the details, but it's a pretty nifty design and the reason why the curve changes so much in different parts of the boat.
Carol you are so brave driving. I lived in Germany for three years and I’d drive on little roads but not like you are. It is so different and those roundabouts 😳Well done 👏🏻 As ever most enjoyable, maybe a trip next year with your trainers and your shorts!😊thank you ❤
Great video guys - sounds like the diverter on the headlights reduce a good percentage the light. Harry I don’t think has the best if lights and wish I had upgraded them so that is one to watch out Looks like the stop overs are now easier Thanks for sharing
I like the way you both take it all in your stride, even when the going is tough. Would like to see the Fram which was sailed by Nansen who went to the Arctic and later by Amundsen who went south with it and reached the South Pole ahead of Captain Scott. Hope you get some good pictures. Thanks for sharing.
Those Fram and Kon-tiki exhibitions look a lot more exciting now than in the early seventies. Hope you had a chance to visit the Viking ships, those are so impressive. And the Oslo city hall with all the murals.
That chest is something pepol stores stuff in like cloths ect and was passed down from generation to generation,the name painted is the first owners name and the date is usealy wedding date as it was usely given then
Loved the video, great looking at the old buildings 😊 beautiful scenery great drone footage. Also we avoid driving at night at all possible we don't see as well now we're older 🤦🤣 anyway thanks again for the travels 🙌❤️
The museum is very like Beamish near Durham. They are now building a new 1950 town. Glad you thoroughly enjoyed your Norwegian road trip. Keep up the excellent videos.
Great looking museum again guys. A bit like a Norwegian Beamish. The speed you ran away from that wasp recently, you could have had a top 10 finish in that Marathon.😁🐕🚙
Hi Ken and Carol, always enjoy travelling along with you both, really feel like I'm seeing places I will never get to see. P.s. might seem like an odd question but just wondering if you ever had any mice in the little red van? Have seen other travel vans/campers etc that had some uninvited critters. Thanks for sharing your travels with us.
@@gazzertrn I will watch it all it will make me sleepy ….I often watch their previous ones because they are relaxing .they use lovely music and and just have the right amount ..overall it’s just a nice channel we are bombarded with noise these days which is not always avoidable so carol and Ken are the perfect couple to watch
we were making little packages consisting of the bag and some sachets so that they were ready without faffing about in the cupboards. The mistake we made was using tape to secure the bag roll because it actually tore the bag and rendered them all useless.
Ken you watched too many episodes of Dads Army when you were a kid, all those hay stacks looking like soldiers in camouflage 😂. Out source all your thinking, I will have to try and remember that one 👍
Hej you two, oh wauw, I so much want to go again, great trip and all that history. Lovely lovely lovely ! How do you call that in English , itching to go I believe 🙂Thanks.
It is nice to see the history of a country, sadly I have tried Google maps and sadly it kept letting me down saying no satellite reception not good when in an area you are not familiar with took me miles out of my way going back to TomTom built into car and invest in a Garmin for walking Ken have you thought of a pair of night driving glasses. Sadly it is about time Nissan updated the lights on their small vans my daylight running lights are brighter.
I agree you need offline maps as internet is lost so easily. I use the app Pocket Earth, not as good as TomTom for guidance but it has other functions we use a lot. I have not tried night glasses so I may give that a go. I need to uprate my lights really 👍
Try a company called Powerbulbs UK they may be able advise you I have been using them for some years now and they have supplied bulbs for my twenty four year old Daewoo Musso even listing bulbs not mentioned in the owners manual.
24.12: if anyone is wondering where the burnt marks on the table come from, it is the irresponsible use of disposable grills, some people unfortunately do not show consideration. it's a big problem, disposable grills should have been banned.
Yes I think they should be banned. People leave them behind and cause fires. At a time when we are trying to get rid of single use items they are very wasteful. They aren't really necessary.
If you ever do make it to Canada , all the round abouts are 40 kilometers per hour [25] and you do not use your signal , I got pulled over in Northern Ireland for that and she let me go , she said she had been to Canada LOL....eh
I agree with you regarding driving at night on the “wrong” side of the road. I’ve driven a fair bit in Australia and New Zealand and do all right but trying to drive at night is a nightmare, never again for this American. 😮
That was great fun! Quite a play house for a 3 year old, but it is certainly one that they could grow into. I enjoyed all of the houses. I was surprised by how very similar the houses there were to what I grew up with. While it is a small world, I did not expect to see such similarities back in the 50s. Actually, it is awesome! I also have trouble driving after dark, and my biggest challenge is oncoming traffic and turning- trying to see where my headlights haven’t reached yet. I make it a point to finish and stop before it is fully dark. That is not always possible when you are traveling and heading for a specific destination.
The 1950 house at Maihaugen with the sink in the hallway, was used to empty filthy buckets of water, after cleaning the floors/house etc. and also used two clean your hand after using the toilet, mostly situated at the end of the hallway.

Very interesting. We have never heard of anything like that in a similar house in the UK ☺️
Love driving like this, no traffic, so calming.
When mum and dad got together they rented two rooms upstairs in a fifties house. There was a sink and cooked on the landing as the owners rented two living spaces out. Wouldn't be allowed now. ;-)
The Weald and Downland Museum in Sussex and there is another up North near Durham.. Both excellent.
As someone who lives in Lillehammer I’m actually ashamed to realise how few times I’ve visited Maihaugen in my life.
I’m actually going to take a trip on Shiblanser this summer with my family. The worlds oldest running steam boat. It was built in 1856 and it’s still sailing on Mjøsa every summer.
Enjoy your trip. I think most people don’t explore where they live much 👍
5:20 It's called "utslagsvask", it's for pouring out the bucket when cleaning (washing floors ++ )
Good to know, thanks 🙂👍

Really enjoyed the first part, visiting houses (homes) of long ago, The green roof tops and not all solar panels !!!! Thanks for sharing...
Thanks for watching 🙂
Lovely idea to bring all those old buildings together. Nice that you could really get immersed in it all. Hair wash with one jug. Most impressive! Good to hear your opinion of the roads and driving. Car parking was quite dear. But as you say, only here once 👍😊
Just had to bite the bullet and pay for the car parking. Well worth it though for the lovely day we had ☺️
I really enjoyed looking at the buildings through the time. The museum's over there seem very well done. Thanks guys. Cheers 😘🥂😘
We were impressed with the museums we saw. This one was the largest of its kind in Norway so we were glad we could visit it on this trip 🙂
Lovely trip! Thank you. Elaine from Queensland, Australia.
Very interesting museum showing the progression of homes thru the years.
So interesting seeing Norway. I had a moose and her baby cross the road right in front of me…North Ontario…
The sign with the moose means that between the next 100 meters to 500 meters is especially high risk of moose crossing the road. Love your vids! I'm from Kristiansand myself😊
Thanks for that!
Our Queen Sonjas childhood home was moved to Maihaugen some years ago .Was it closed when you were there 🤔 This Norway serie is so lovely ❤
@@tonemarieantonsen1597 it had just closed for the day by the time we got round to that part of the museum 🙁

Same here Mary. It was interesting that I recognised items that my parents had in the 70’s in England ☺️
Kon-Tiki was on a raft from South America to the Polynesian islands. But Thor Heyerdahl been on other travles too.
We certainly learned a lot when we visited the Kon-Tiki museum ☺️
Excellent video ! 🤗 Visit Norway should pay you... 😉🤣
The sign says: "Extreme Mose danger, 0,3 -5 km". In Sweden there miles and miles of Mose fences, With opening for maybe every 20 k, with ligts.
Thanks for that 🙂👍
Wonderful lMuseum!

Did you not get to see the Viking museum? It's amazing.
Sadly not. 🫣
Like your camper van. Don't ever drive into Oslo center. It's a impenetrable maze.
Glad we managed to avoid it ☺️👍
I Just love your videos thanks
Thank you 🙏

The sink in the hallway is used for washing the house etc, not for personal hygiene.

The sink is there in case you really need to go and the bathroom is occupied
lol maybe
😂 Could come in handy!
It was the south pole 😆. - Yeah I would recommend visiting during the summer months before snowfall
The Kon-Tiki expedition was a journey by raft across the Pacific Ocean from South America to the Polynesian islands.
The raft was called Kon-Tiki after the Sun God of the Incas people.
“I like to outsource all my thinking” 😂😂😂 so funny!!
Never mind ken there's always another day to run a marathon ☺️ as per usual a great video love the museum.
Yes, thank goodness there is always another day 🙂👍
12:02 Damaged from disposable BBQ on the table.
If you use them, use them over earth, sand or gravel. And always use the supplied stand.
Great advice 🙂👍

Lovely video Varol & Ken. The Maihaugen Museum was just beautiful. Night driving in any strange place is uncomfortable unless you are on a motorway.
I no longer can drive at night. You must still have good eyes.
It is getting harder as we get older.
The museum is very like Beamish near Durham. They are now building a new 1950 town.
Glad you thoroughly enjoyed your Norwegian road trip. Keep up the excellent videos.
Would like to go back to Beamish when that is completed 🙂👍

They'll sometimes measure your speed between two cameras to see if your average speed was too high.
We have some of those average speed checks in the UK, usually on motorways.
Great video! What were you preparing for the bivvy loo, I have one also, so any hacks greatly recieved.
we were making little packages consisting of the bag and some sachets so that they were ready without faffing about in the cupboards. The mistake we made was using tape to secure the bag roll because it actually tore the bag and rendered them all useless.

An unexpected video and very much appreciated, curious if you have picked a destination for your next trip already ?
Not sure yet but we have a few ideas.
Do you guys live here now, or is this a large collection of videos, edited and released after you've been here
No we were just on a trip 😁👍
It is nice to see the history of a country, sadly I have tried Google maps and sadly it kept letting me down saying no satellite reception not good when in an area you are not familiar with took me miles out of my way going back to TomTom built into car and invest in a Garmin for walking Ken have you thought of a pair of night driving glasses.

@@LifeistooshortCK the trick is to tear it at the seam of the roll and leave it in place. People do it all the time at work it's so frustrating haha
I agree with you regarding driving at night on the “wrong” side of the road. I’ve driven a fair bit in Australia and New Zealand and do all right but trying to drive at night is a nightmare, never again for this American. 😮
We try and avoid it if we can.
Herestua looked like a great place to live. Spelling might be off.
Hare, Norwegian for hare :)
Location is lovely. The place itself would disappoint you…
It was indeed a lovely location 😍
That was great fun! Quite a play house for a 3 year old, but it is certainly one that they could grow into. I enjoyed all of the houses. I was surprised by how very similar the houses there were to what I grew up with. While it is a small world, I did not expect to see such similarities back in the 50s. Actually, it is awesome! I also have trouble driving after dark, and my biggest challenge is oncoming traffic and turning- trying to see where my headlights haven’t reached yet. I make it a point to finish and stop before it is fully dark. That is not always possible when you are traveling and heading for a specific destination.
We are the same re driving in the dark ☺️
