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).
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 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'm ill at the moment and waited sooo hard for the message from UA-cam that your vid is on! 😊 Now 28 minutes will be a little bit happier. ;) Thanks for your work on the Wednesday-vids, Steve!
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 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.
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!!
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.
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.
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.
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. ❤❤
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.
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.
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.
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 😊
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.
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.
"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" 💕🤣
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.
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.
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! 😎
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"😄
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!
Hi Steve, thanks for the video. Despite you being worried about what to dowith the video, at the end, your editing skills were great. The tram yhat you took from the CBD, that then switched to an old railway line ( you mentioned light rail)...Well i know of several tram routes un Melbourne, Australia, where the tram network has, on some routes , incorporated old disused train lines, this saved no doubt alot of money, and it meant locals in those routes, still had more economical public transport! The music you chose for the trip up to tge top, was a lovely piece of music, quite relaxing❤. Would that lake at the top that you reckon, reminded you of Scotland... Could that have been an extinct volcano crater ?
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
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 :)
Thank you for this cheerful video from the city I live in. From the top of the cable car there is a 13 km path all the way to Fløyen, top of the Funicular. I have done it many times. Great views both to the city and to the more sparsly populated areas on the opposite side of the mountain plateau. The stop Haukeland sykehus means Haukeland hospital. Sykehus translates to hospital. So it is great that the lightrail stops there, both for patients and employees. This lightrail line #2 which you took is only a couple of years old. Line #1 opened in 2009. I really enjoy watching your adventures.
@@steve-marshI forgot to say that you are right about the wee yellow ticket booth. It used to be one of the two gondolas. After building new masts and updating the whole cable/power system, the new gondolas were in operation from October 2021. I am glad you got a better experience here now than the last time 😊
There is one day in May each year that The Norwegian Trekking Association have the "7 mountain walk" (7-fjellsturen), where you walk up all 7 mountains surrounding Bergen in one day. It is a 35km long hike, and 2400 meters in total elevation.
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!!!!
Steve: "Trying to conserve a bit of energy"
Also Steve: Let's scramble up to that summit
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.
Cheered me right up from my hospital bed. Thanks Steve.
Hope things are going well Kieran!

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.
Steve, the best experiences are often spontaneous
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.
My wife and I went to Bergen and Alesund in the summer of 2022 and loved it! It’s highly recommened
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
Finally he come back to Norway! 😀 Looking forward to the next one on saturday!
Steve is just messing with us with these mid-week out of order videos. I like 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.
What a nice way to end a work day
Steve! Part goat. There was no path. Thanks for taking me along!
I was in Norway last year for the first time, WOW!!! the whole country looks "brand new" SOOOO clean and beautiful.
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
That was a jolly scenic trip out! Thanks
Yay new video! It’s Wednesday night around 9pm here in Sydney Australia. I do look forward to your videos!
Me too - in Melbourne!

Lovey video and beautiful scenery! How many times has Steve said! “I don’t know where I am”😂
Wow, the fun never stops, I quite liked the music overlay, something different. Another stellar video Steve, thank 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!!!
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!
can`t not wait to show this to my dad saturday. very beautiful
I love these pleasant surprises in the middle of the week, Steve.
Thanks again for a great video
My eyes are off the scenery, hate heights, well done Steve being out in such a windy day, be safe.

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.
Yes Steve that was an original gondola I remember it well from ‘74!!
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!

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.

Reminds me of the Glens back home. Must look stunning in the snow. Excellent content as always Steve.
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. 🙋👍🙏🙂

Wow . I need to get back to Norway soon , just love the scenery in this video . I can imagine breathing that beautiful fresh air .
