Travel Norway the second time around - just breathtaking.
First of all Id like to thank all the redditors who offered their home parking spots to a stranger like me after i posted here asking for an advice where we could park near Oslo for a much cheaper price. Fortunately we took one offer since it was the most ideal spot and it went really well!! Without you we would have paid around 200-300 euros extra so thank you so so much for your generosity and Trust to strangers like us 💝
So from Oslo, we took the train to Gol to start the Mjølkevegen route. We drove with the bikes for 225km (not quite exact) with over 4000 meters elevation gain. I gotta say, this was more challenging than what we did last year driving the Oslo - Bergen route. I think mostly due to the heat wave at that time of our tour! After finishing the route, we went back to Oslo to pick up the car and drove around the scenic routes. Even though most of you have probably seen these places, Id still like to share some snapshots of our trip!!

Awesome! I did the Mjølkevegen going the other way, starting from Vinstra, just a few weeks ago. Then the Rallervegen. Incredible riding, and challenging like you said. Great pics!

Ohhh, i enjoyed the Rallarvegen road the most! We drove it last year on our way from Oslo to Bergen. It was simply different. Thank you so much!!!

Indeed. Just wait until you see the bills. You might have to sell your lungs and kidneys as well

I wasn't referring to this particular kind of expense. Just commented on the average price levels in this country as a whole. I apologise. Should have been a lot more clearer

Troll protection service always charges after the fact for each prevented attack.

Looks like Utah to me lol I’m spoiled here with all the different geography. Up north it looks like this.

I can imagine! Utah is one of the places i also dream of visiting! How is the camping culture there?

Yeah Utah is very beautiful and there’s so much to do outdoor recreation wise. Camping culture wise very welcoming, there are lots of places you can go that offer various amenities for camping / glamping. Some places you need a permit to hike and some places you need a guide to help you through the area. Especially down in southern Utah.
