    We proceed further North in our 35 year old VW T3 / Vanagon and climb steep mountains with amazing views. My girlfriend almost gave me a heart attack when she ran along a cliff with a 400m vertical fall. After spending time along the amazing coast of Helgeland, we take more ferries to access the region around the Lofoten peninsula. And did you know, we turned our van into a convertible? See for yourself in this video!

    Jump to bed. Sound like a solid plan. 😂😂😂😂 Wow! Stunning view with her standing at the edge of the cliff. Perfect wine with the food to reboot your energy. Aww...he kisses Zulu. Jump in the 10-degree water! LOL update on Simon’s coffee picks! 😂 She is so nice and patient. Was his picked coffee good? I have noticed something different in this video that you guys talk alternatively. That was nice.

    • @SimonBraeck
      @SimonBraeck  3 роки тому +1

      The coffee was delicious, too bad we can’t get frequent deliveries from them! If this scenery was blessed with a more comfortable temperature’s it would be paradise😄 And that mountain cliff was something else😳👏🏼

    I would encourage you to look into induction cooking as you won't need a gas bottle and will not suffer excess heat and moisture when you cook food also it is quicker than even a gas ring. What you would need is a decent battery (say 1000wh), inverter (say 2kw) and solar PV to top the battery up after cooking. A cup of coffee for 2 might draw 100wh, a pan-cooked meal maybe 125- 350wh. A small microwave would be similarly efficient but limits cooking options.

    Hi Benedikte and Simon ! Another epic video...great. I would like to understand: Did you take the ferry with your van, is it possible to stay with a camper on Rodoya ? Or did you need to stay in Klokkergarden hotel ? Maybe i did not get that...it could be a point on my list. Go on with your videos like that, it is always a pleasure. Greetings from Germany, Michael
