    Since you don't know exactly where you want to go, I thought I could make some suggestions. Drive to Loen and then up to Briksdalen. Here you can see glaciers. It's a walk up in about 45 minutes, but it's worth it. In the same area, go to Lovatnet. The most beautiful valley I have seen. Here, too, there is an opportunity to go up to see the Jostedals glacier. If you drive towards Fjærland, you can see Bøyabreen, also a great glacier.
    If you had got a place in Flåm, you could have taken the train up to Myrdal, walked back down a bit, and taken the zipline down the valley. Afterwards you could have cycled all the way down through the wonderful Flåmdalen back to Flåm. There is also its own beer brewery in Flåm. Right next to where you entered the Lærdal tunnel, is Årdal. Here you could drive up to Stegastein, a viewpoint over a fjord. Fantastic viewpoint, but very popular with tourists. You could then drive over the mountain and down to Lærdal. Incredibly nice drive, and not many cars. I look forward to seeing what you experience in Norway. Good trip. Thank you is TAKK in Norwegian

    Hey C2H!
    What a great VLOG!! Fantastic! - Love it & love Norway!
    The weather changes you are experiencing are like ours atm ... no two days are the same.
    The drone shots are spectacular, the scenery & going over the cruise ships etc.
    *Holly looks happy in a rucksack
    *Love the sauna on a cliff
    *A tunnel as long as Malta?!! WoW
    *BIG Fat strawberries look amazing
    *In the UK, the 'Honesty Box' would probably be stolen (well before it got £50 in it :(
    *We had to "Wiggle through" ... made me chuckle
    Thanks again for a lovely VLOG, keep enjoying Norway & take care (especially on those platforms)!!

    I am a norwegian and like you travel around in a caravan for a couple of months every year. Been to all the places you visit in this video and I guess I am spoiled, I never feel the wow-effect, but more quietly enjoy the scenery. I have spent a good two months on the westcoast this year and the scenery is splendid, but it has been raining more than usual. More tourists than usual with insufficient driving experience can be a challenge. Also many norwegian suburbians lack driving experience on i.e. how to safely bypass other cars on narrow roads. Sometimes there is no other alternative than to back up, then you do that slowly but safely. Find yourself a huge parking lot to practice while it is not too busy.
    Norway has 18 designated "scenic routes" (nasjonale turistveier). They have been equipped with fantastic toilets and viewpoints to be used for free. Not all roadside toilets are designed by architechts. If you have time you should travel road 17 (kystriksveien) from Steinkjær to Bodø. Avoid Lofoten, too many tourists and too narrow roads for the amounts. Find places on the mainland in the same area instead. There are options.

But i go mostley to Nord-Trondelag to fish for trout around a nice little place just beside E6 road called Brekkvasselv. Lovley little camping site just beside river Namsen.

      Not for bad weather, the weather varies because of the mountainous topography which makes the western part humid and the eastern more sunny and warm. The clouds will stop at the mountains and shed its rain. Water is an invaluable asset.
