You are correct there is a lot to see in such short distances so we don't have to put on a ton of miles to get to places. This is the major reason that we are only going to explore this small area of Norway rather than trying to make it all the up to the northern part of the country, that will have to wait for another time. The other good thing about traveling around in Max is that he gets good fuel mileage.<br /><br />We agree, we would be spending a lot more money if we were to stay in either hotels or Airbnbs but you also have to consider that we would still have to pay for a rental vehicle and fuel for it, or have to pay for trains, buses and ferries to get around, plus meals. We honestly think that despite the cost of fuel, traveling around in your own "home" is the best and cheapest way to see Norway. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-8871104315875284062022-06-23T03:47:31.024-04:002022-06-23T03:47:31.024-04:00Oh yeah, we knew it was expensive here compared to...Oh yeah, we knew it was expensive here compared to back home. Luckily there is so much to see here that it takes us ages to get anywhere so we can make that tank of fuel last a good long time. It also helps that Max gets such good fuel mileage compared the majority of RVs back home.<br /><br />Kevin is very happy with his new sweater, it was long overdo and should it last him a good long time.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-33363763664112447872022-06-23T02:45:56.969-04:002022-06-23T02:45:56.969-04:00Yes, he finally got a new sweater/jacket, after al...Yes, he finally got a new sweater/jacket, after all this time looking for one! It was more than we had wanted to pay but it looks to be good quality and should hopefully last as long or longer than his previous one. We hope that you will have luck finding one in Finland.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-89312471955909721462022-06-22T18:29:25.865-04:002022-06-22T18:29:25.865-04:00You look like a GC model in that new sweater! :cD...You look like a GC model in that new sweater! :cDPaul and Marti Dahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17332654035718777839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-42173984932741053632022-06-22T12:39:11.269-04:002022-06-22T12:39:11.269-04:00The fuel price is almost exactly $1 CAN more than ...The fuel price is almost exactly $1 CAN more than here on Vancouver Island but Europe has always been expensive for gas. A couple of comments, one, everything is so much closer together in Europe where a tank of gas will get you through almost any country where here it barely gets you off the Island! and two, it would be interesting to know the cost of hotel rooms as that is actually a better comparison of costs. You are in effect driving your hotel room which mitigates the price of fuel. If hotel rooms are $300 per night that makes the cost of gas seem pretty reasonable.Crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17634815881045387152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-61657278648562631552022-06-22T11:54:19.973-04:002022-06-22T11:54:19.973-04:00In Windsor Diesel is $2.209/Litre so you definitel...In Windsor Diesel is $2.209/Litre so you definitely are expensive. <br />Nice looking Jacket but fantastic looking Scenery.<br />Be Safe and Enjoy!<br /><br />It's about time.Rick and Kathy Rousseauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05187734210342762674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-11612713412418833672022-06-22T10:33:54.734-04:002022-06-22T10:33:54.734-04:00Woohoo, you finally got a new jacket.
