Lyle Lanley Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) Got back late last night from Norway due to my plane from Stansted being delayed for nearly 2 hours. Oslo didn’t really impress me as much as I said a few days ago but Molde was fantastic. Would like to visit Molde again down the line. Managed to take this photo of Molde yesterday morning before leaving for the airport. Edited August 21, 2018 by Eoin Doyle 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Was in Oslo few yrs back, thought it was pretty shite tbh. Highlight was taking the tram(I think) up to the mountains and finding an old sledge to scoot down a bit. It was March so plenty of snow. If I remember there was a bar called 'the Scotsman on main drag from station to main square. Looked quite shite tbh and didn't frequent. It was the most sober long weekend I have had and won't be back. Oh and snoop dog was staying in hotel next to us before he was banned from loads of countries. Staying with Scandinavia, went to Stockholm once on the company dime... Fantastic time and city 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( 2 adults , 2 kids ) If you don't eat or drink out much, careful what you buy in supermarkets, and max out your duty free booze presents for your hosts, you'll be fine. Things like kebabs and hotdogs from stalls aren't too expensive. If you're not a big drinker as I think you're not, it won't be a problem. Just check the prices before you buy anything, even a cup of coffee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was looking at a 0810 flight so might be tight time I get there check in etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also possible to get the ferry to Holland and then Denmark. Might still be to much. I used to live there and drove from Trondheim to Bergen once or twice a year. Really miss the ferry. Was it raining in Bergen. ? and if not , why ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fjord trip I did was also excellent. In terms of scenery, Norway is probably the best I've ever been to. Boiling hot though, I'd go again but in winter next time to see the city in a totally different way. It was not raining , etc ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The railway from Bergen to Oslo is nice but it is the spur line from Myrdal to Flåm that is spectacular. Myrdal is about two hours from Bergen and 6 hours from Oslo. The spur line takes about 1 hour, descends to sea level and is packed with tourists who take the trip from Flåm to Myrdal and back simply to see the view. Flåm itself is a very pretty place but expensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'm Brian Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Does anyone have any experience of renting a vehicle in Norway, and what happens with toll payments? Not really wanting to donate money to Hertz for an administration fee if I don't have to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
