Is This the Most Beautiful Drive in Europe? Stavanger to Bergen by luxury coach

Описание: Road trips in Norway are always special. This one is a a wonder, filled with bridges, tunnels and ferries amongst the amazing scenery of the Norwegian Fjords We are on the panoramic front seat of a luxury scheduled bus. We thought we'd booked the panoramic seats on a double decker, but when the bus arrived it was a single decker - the driver let me set my cameras up in the front window and we got the front seats as well - thanks. It was my fault when I booked I hadn't realised that when we changed the time of the bus it also changed the type of bus and removed the panoramic seats from the booking. One good thing about this route is that it added on a stop at Haugesund, meaning a trip through an undersea tunnel with a roundabout in it!

This is the full drive at normal speed. I can now upload long videos in 4K as we have full fibre broadband - thanks to Quickline for connecting us, despite us being in the middle of nowhere! This is the 4K version of a video I posted last year, with a new intro. I will do this eventually with all the road trips I uploaded only in HD because of my slow internet at the time. The file for this one is 176gb and it uploaded in about an hour and 10 minutes - I can live with that!

Apologies to anyone annoyed that the thumbnail says "Top Deck Norway" while the bus in the picture clearly doesn't have a top deck! It is one of my real time front view series in 4K and all the others will be double decker buses, promise!
