Bonjour à tous et à toutes

Nous avons discuté de nos voyages au Cap Nord. Départ dans 29 jours.

Un point pourtant reste à éclaircir. Le couchage. Nous partons avec tente et duvets, mais ma femme n'est pas très emballée de ne faire que du camping. On va dire que c'est pour le cas où on sera coincé. Nous avons l'intention de profiter au maximum de ces petites cabanes qui fleurissent parait-il un peu partout et que l'on peut louer pour une nuit ou plus.

Ma question est de savoir s'il est facile, à partir du moment où on a décidé de faire une halte pour la nuit (enfin la nuit...) de trouver comment faire pour rencontrer les propriétaires ! Le téléphone est-il marqué. Y a-t-il des endroits dans les villes proches où sont recensées ces cabanes etc...

Quelqu'un pourrait-il me donner des précisions sur ce sujet concernant la Suède, la Norvège (lofoten et + haut) et la Finlande.

D'avance merci.

Je me lance donc: à vous de participer ! Voici un topic général qui vous permettra d'économiser énormément sur votre voyage (et d'acheter bijous montres et autres en duty free par exemple ;) ) tout le monde peut y aller de sa propre expérience.

pour commencer RHODES :

descendre du bateau prendre la première porte de la ville fortifiée) prendre direction new town (nouvelle ville) en restant dans la ville fortifiée, 1 pierre 2 coups on visite une partie de rhodes en se dirigeant vers la station de bus (à 1 quart d'heure à, peine) regarder l'horaire pour lindos (toutes les heures, 1 heure de trajet) visite de lindos (excellent) puis retour à rhodes, descente à la station de bus retour au bateau par une autre porte de la ville fortifiée, avec plus de temps, ce jour là, nous avons pris sandwich au buffet (on se rattrape le soir) astuce : pour le séjour prévoir une bouteille d'eau rigide + papier alu, un petit sac à dos isotherme et vous êtes libre comme l'air car il ya tout ce qu'il faut sur le bateau (surtout que l'eau de votre salle de bain est inbuvable ça vous permet d'avoir un rafraichissement dans la nuit avec le frigo de la chambre, eau dispo au buffet)) trajet en car rhodes lindos 4 euros. incroyable, vous verrez toutes les femmes faire le signe de croix à chaque virage ...lindos est à voir, c'est essentiel !!!

Cittavechia :

j'ai vu sur le site que la gare est à peine à 1 km, 9 euros le parcours vers rome ? si quelqu'un peut confirmer,

Tunisie :

passer les bus qui vont vous aborder (trop cher) les taxis jaunes sont au bout, compter 15 euros par personne avec le même taxi toute la journée !

à vous ... !!

Off on new adventures!!! For my wife’s 60th birthday, I’m really making her happy. While I usually pick warm, sunny destinations, she’s more tempted by places where you don’t suffer from the heat. So, it’s off to Norway!! A real challenge for me—a southern guy who’s as cold-sensitive as they come. I keep telling anyone who’ll listen (well, just myself, really) that these aren’t the countries for me, that rain will be our travel companion, that we’ll have to face polar bears, navigate between icebergs, that there are still Vikings around, and all sorts of other things. Of course, not wanting to make it easy, we’re driving from the Lyon area where we live. Friends who’ve visited the country told us it’s pretty expensive to eat out (among other things), so we’re bringing supplies—especially enough for apéritifs the whole trip!!! It’s not a camper van, but a "hotel-car" we’ll be doing! We’ll see how it goes! As usual, I’ll try to narrate the journey with my two-cent comments, plus some little tips to avoid our mistakes—assuming I don’t lose any fingers to the cold! Every night, I’ll count them to make sure I still have all ten! We’re not in *Ch’tis* territory but even farther Noooorth (as Galabru would say). Note that I’m traveling with a synovial effusion in my knee! The old man’s not in great shape!! Here we go!!

PS: As always, I’m a filmmaker, so I’ve made an effort with a few photos from my phone.

Hi there, we’re planning our trip to the North Cape this summer. We bought a new vehicle for it. Unfortunately, the registration document is still being processed, and the delay seems long—I don’t think I’ll have it in time for our departure... I have the transfer documents, insurance in my name, and all the supporting paperwork, but not the registration document. So my question is: does the ferry company require the registration document *mandatorily* when boarding in Denmark or not? Thanks for any insights...

Kattegat isn’t just the name of the village in the TV series *Vikings*—it’s also the stretch of water separating Denmark from Sweden... the sea, basically! And further north, you’ve got Norway and its fjords! Originally, I’d planned to just do a loop around Kattegat, with the *Under* restaurant in Lindesnes as our anniversary treat... but along the way, we thought, why not "push" a little further north, keeping an eye on the budget since we’d chosen to travel by car in June 2025 through Scandinavia.

Why by car when most travelers opt for a camper van, while others prefer the comfort of cruises? Well, because we don’t own a camper van, renting one is pricey, and then you’ve got to add fuel costs (those things guzzle gas!), ferry fees, and other "tolls." All things considered, we went for mostly rentals—especially since there were four of us at the start of the trip. We spent the first week in Denmark with our daughter and son-in-law. Then they flew back to Belgium, and we continued our adventure as a couple. For accommodation, we mainly booked Airbnb apartments, which helped keep costs down and, most importantly, let us prepare our own meals (diet, diet!). In this travel journal, you’ll discover (or rediscover, for those who followed my older ones) our unbridled love for theme parks, museums, unique experiences, and—especially in Denmark—Legos! Unfortunately, we didn’t do any hikes this year because the unpredictable weather had made the trails slippery, and since I’d already taken three tumbles during the trip, I didn’t want to risk another! In the end, we traveled for 32 days, covered 6,200 km, and most importantly, discovered the charming country of Denmark, marveled at Norway’s breathtaking fjords—all without suffering the heatwave that hit France and Belgium that June! If you’ve got any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

EDITOR’S NOTE: As with every travel journal I publish, I won’t force anyone to agree with my comments—they’re my own, I share my feelings, and that’s it. Your comments are, of course, welcome, but I’ll refrain from responding to any hint of controversy, as has happened in the past.



For the summer holidays of 2018, we decided to take a break from long-haul, transcontinental trips. They’re expensive and exhausting, and this year, we also had to consider our young student’s limited vacation days. So, it was a short 14-day circuit in Scandinavia. Very quickly, I had to abandon the unrealistic idea of driving door-to-door with our personal car (unlike last year—see my "Balkan Stroll" story). Too many kilometers and stops. Still, crossing Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia before taking a ferry from Tallinn to Helsinki and Finland was tempting—what a shame.



As usual, I planned ahead and started booking in early February for a mid-July departure, typically the best time weather-wise for this destination. Browsing tour operator catalogs didn’t offer much insight—just the usual circuits. Most aim for the North Cape, but we didn’t have time for that. First, via Expedia, we booked our flight tickets: Paris to Stockholm, Helsinki to Paris for the return (880 euros for three), plus a domestic flight from Oulu to Helsinki in Finland (220 euros). The unanimous advice was that there’s not much to see between the two cities, so this saved us a night’s accommodation and a day of car rental. However, the "drop-off" fees (not returning the car to the country of origin) were unavoidable. Out of 1,100 euros for 12 days of rental, this fee was significant—I say this from memory because I never received a detailed document or even the contract itself after picking up the car, despite my complaints. That said, Holiday Autos offered the best rates at the time with Hertz. Plus, I think we were unknowingly upgraded to a Volvo XC 40 T5 automatic, packed with electronics and an incredibly efficient GPS (so I lugged around my updated TomTom for nothing). I wasn’t used to it, and I’ll come back to that. For 50 euros, I also booked one of the many mandatory ferry crossings in Norway—unless you want to drive kilometers around the countless fjords. Specifically, the Bognes-Lødingen route to reach the Lofoten Islands, a must-see in Norway (though not necessarily the best choice I made—I’ll come back to that). Then, gradually via Booking.com, I reserved hotel accommodations, which wasn’t easy at reasonable prices. For three people, it’s nearly impossible to find a room with three real beds—often a sofa bed or even two separate rooms!!!! Norway isn’t a budget-friendly destination for us, yet French tourists are everywhere—groups or families traveling independently. Okay, you’re probably wondering when I’ll get started—I’m getting there... First up, Stockholm, a two-hour flight from Paris. A first for us: we’d gotten used to online check-in within 30 hours of the flight and sometimes printing our boarding passes. But, as progress never stops, at Roissy, we now also print our baggage tags at a kiosk, then place them on the conveyor belt ourselves, scan the barcode with the handheld scanner, and watch the luggage disappear—hoping it doesn’t get misrouted. With all this reduced staff, I hope ticket prices will drop. What? Huh? I’m naive... Okay, fine! Plus, during the flight, don’t expect any snacks—everything’s paid for now, except for water and coffee. I didn’t think I was on a low-cost flight!!! Picking up the car at Arlanda Airport went smoothly, except the contract signed on a tablet (progress, right?) was never emailed to me as promised—too bad... The Volvo SUV packed with electronics: as usual, aside from adjusting the mirrors and seat, I didn’t bother learning all the features and accessories for better handling. So, from the start, I felt jerky movements in the steering, independent of my control. The white-line detection was activated and corrected my direction whenever I got too close... And that’s not all—there’s also driving assistance. Besides the speed limiter, the car accelerates or brakes on its own based on the distance from the vehicle ahead. You still have to keep your hands on the wheel, though—too bad, we could’ve played cards and let it drive itself. When you slow down, if you signal to overtake and turn the wheel, it accelerates to pass. Soon, we won’t even need a driver’s license... Not to mention the little light in the side mirror to signal vehicles in the "blind spot"—very useful. But given the excessively strict speed limits in these parts, it’s still handy. I’ll unfortunately come back to this later!!!!!! In the end, we covered 4,700 km in 8 days of actual travel—no small feat!!!!!! Stockholm: still loyal to the hop-on-hop-off sightseeing buses (or the reverse), I booked our tickets online with a discount. It remains (for us) one of the best ways to visit and get around big cities. The tourist attractions aren’t that numerous. Forty kilometers from the airport, we reached our hotel, Clarion Amaranten. At reception, we were told our reservation was for four days, not two. I insisted, and they told me to call Booking.com to fix it—they couldn’t do anything themselves. Luckily, a nice blonde understood the situation and asked where we were from to lighten the mood. For me, it worked... After a few minutes of back-and-forth, we realized a namesake had booked at the same time. I think the intern got mixed up—oh well. We finally dropped off our bags and headed out under the sun for the included boat tour. It’s beautiful and relaxing under 26°C. We glided past massive cruise ships, very common in these Nordic countries, especially for fjord tours.



We passed Djurgården, one of the city’s 14 islands, home to the Tivoli amusement park and several museums, including the ABBA Museum and the Vasa Museum. I’m not talking about the crispy sandwiches sold since 1919 but the infamous warship that sank in the harbor on its maiden voyage in 1628 after sailing just a few hundred meters. Its intact hull was salvaged in 1961, and since then, it’s one of Sweden’s most visited museums. The country is a quarter smaller than France and has 10 million inhabitants, mostly in the three big cities (Stockholm, Gothenburg, Malmö). The rest is empty, filled with lakes and forests. The currency is the krona, with 1 euro worth about 10 SEK. Dinner in the Old Town consisted of a so-called Viking burger (more like a kebab) and meatballs—the famous Swedish meatballs with potatoes, just like at IKEA... I have to say, here, it seems the Vikings have long been just blond heads—I get it... It still cost us 550 SEK. A beer alone costs at least 9 euros!!!!

DAY 2. Sunny skies. After a hearty buffet breakfast with salmon, herring in all forms, eggs, cold cuts, bread, and pastries (don’t worry, the classics are there), we started the day by visiting the City Hall tower, famous for hosting the Nobel Prizes (except the Peace Prize, awarded in Oslo). At 106 meters tall, with 365 steps and 9 clocks, it weighs twice as much as the Eiffel Tower. Access is at fixed times in small groups for safety. You can climb up to 73 meters for a 360° view of the city. Next, we visited the Royal Palace, still the official residence of the King of Sweden, and its Treasury (entry: 160 SEK). We skipped the 12:15 PM changing of the guard—three-quarters of an hour before, dozens of onlookers were already crowding the front rows in the sun.



So, we took our favorite bus to rest a bit and tour the city. We also took the subway to see several "decorated" stations—love it or hate it, but it’s original. In the late afternoon, we returned to the Old Town and its Gamla Stan to find some souvenirs, even if it feels more like Bollywood than Viking country, complete with music in the shops—a nice sign of integration... One of the first things that surprised us was the very light car traffic—no traffic jams in this capital. But there are tons of electric and regular bikes, skateboards, and scooters. Also, lots of roadwork and housing construction—apparently a big need. For dinner (our only meal of the day), we treated ourselves to something local at Borgmästaren (Stora Nygatan 35). DECIDEDLY, I’M TELLING YOU EVERYTHING...

DAYS 3 & 4. Contrary to what I was told upon arrival, the hotel parking (700 SEK for 2 nights) didn’t open at 7:00 AM but at 9:00 AM on Saturday. After having to call myself (the French-speaking African receptionist couldn’t do it for me, especially after I told him I thought Croatia would win against France in the World Cup final), the kind parking attendant (partnered with the hotel—there’s the catch) arrived early and let us leave at 8:30 AM to start our east-to-west route to Norway and Oslo, 530 km away, finally beginning our summer adventure. At the border, absolutely no checks, and on the road, aside from lakes and forests, not much to see. However, tolls are very common—don’t overlook this in your budget. In Sweden, everything’s covered by the rental company, but not in other countries. In Norway, there are many automatic toll sections—cameras film your license plate and send you the bill later. So, you must register online at www.epcplc.com/rental, with or without your credit card details, and wait for the final bill. As of now, I haven’t received it, but after noting almost all of them, it should easily reach 200 euros. Roads, tunnels, and bridges are often toll-based to fund maintenance or new constructions. We reached the Norwegian capital at 3:00 PM and checked into our room. Small hiccup: the hotel parking, not reservable, was full on Saturday. Parking meters only take coins for a max of 2 hours. Luckily, tomorrow’s Sunday—free parking from 8:00 PM until Monday morning. After circling the neighborhood, I finally found a spot for my little car—even if it’s not mine, I still care about it...



The Thon Slottsparken Hotel is slightly off-center, but a little walking won’t hurt. The nearby Hertz agency was closed—too bad, I would’ve liked to complain about still not receiving my rental contract by email... With the nice weather, we started with a walking tour of the main sights: the palace, Karl Johans gate (the main street), and some souvenir shopping to fill the display cases back home—if there’s space. We also visited the deserted Akershus Fortress, where two poor young soldiers stood guard in the scorching sun. Below it, the World Cup final fan zone was being set up. Dinner was at Rorbua for 90 euros—ouch. Hard to find, tucked away from the harbor pier. We skipped the paid ascent of the city’s only "tower" with a panoramic view—tickets had to be paid by credit card, and given the fees my bank charges, I’d had enough. Note that card payments are widely accepted here, even for small amounts. When I tried to get change in cash for a 50-euro equivalent bill, some café owners were embarrassed.

DAY 4. After discussion, we planned the day: first up, one of Oslo’s must-sees, the Vigeland Sculpture Park, featuring bronze, granite, and cast-iron works by Gustav Vigeland (1869–1943). Given the distance, we took the tram—some cars still had their old-school charm!!!! Despite the early hour, hordes of Asian tourists were already there, making photo-taking a nightmare—same everywhere they go. The park is a matter of taste... The 17-meter monolith with 121 intertwined bodies is remarkable, and rightly so. Lazy, we took the tram again to save time—same name, tight schedule. I stopped by the Hertz agency, where the overwhelmed employee promised to try to help. Given his enthusiasm, I doubted it. From the start, I’ve really felt the welcome here, at least for French visitors, isn’t great. Remember my previous reports—it’s becoming a habit. Tourist brochures aren’t available in French here either—strange... Anyway, we took a relaxing fjord cruise. Besides the quirky opera house, the beautiful summer homes on the islands were really tempting. Next, with another paid boat, we headed to the Bygdøy peninsula and its museums. We skipped the Viking Ship Museum in favor of the Norwegian Folk Museum. It features different buildings from across the country, by era and region. Unfortunately, few actors in period costumes—common in this type of tourist attraction. Its real highlight is the stave church, very beautiful. On this late Sunday afternoon, bars and restaurants competed to become World Cup 2018 fan zones—crowds everywhere. So, we decided to head back to rest and catch a glimpse of the African French team against Croatia. It’ll go down in history: a 4-2 victory, with a beautiful goal by Lloris... Go "Les Bleus"—I get it...

DAY 5. Oslo to Bergen: 450 km, but with detours, it was nearly 550. The real journey begins. Departure at 7:00 AM after sleeping in and a mediocre breakfast. Arrival at 5:00 PM—yes, driving’s slow... More tolls, but under 26°C, the real beauty starts around Geilo. First real fjord—it’s stunning. Then those houses with vegetated roofs blending perfectly into the landscape, sometimes nearly invisible... (Not bad, right? And it’s all me!!!)



We also discovered tunnels with "indoor roundabouts" and underground roads crossing—never seen that before!! We followed the shores of Lake Tyrifjord and the Hallingdal valleys. After Geilo, views of the Hardangerjøkulen glacier (achoo!) and the Vøringfossen waterfall (Norway’s highest at 163 meters) and Steinsdalsfossen in the Hardangerfjord (the country’s second-longest). Bergen, Norway’s second city, is built between seven mountains. Aside from the colorful old docks along the wharf, there’s not much to see. At the market, stalls of fresh fish, jars of various fish eggs (all called "caviar" here), and cold cuts made from reindeer, moose, and whale.



For 10 euros per person, we queued for the steep funicular for a great view of the city. Dinner was at "Fish Me," very busy. The salmon looked appetizing, and my first whale steak for 27 euros was... interesting. Our hotel, Augustin, is near the center. They charged me 150 NOK to park in the nearby public lot...

DAY 6. Bøverdalen, our evening stop, was less than 300 km away, but along the way, we had our first two scenic routes and first ferry crossing. When I got back in the car, I noticed the seagulls—rightful tenants of the harbor—had turned it into a Picasso painting overnight... First stop in Voss to peek inside its Vangskyrkja church (for a fee). The mural icons all have a marked squint, making the angels on the ceiling smile—quite the original touch. In 1277, it shocked people.



Gudvangen at the end of the Nærøyfjord offers beautiful views and a waterfall. An 11 km tunnel took us to Aurland and the Sognefjord, the king of fjords at 180 km long. Then we took Route 243 to Lærdal instead of a second long tunnel. A 47 km very narrow road with no passing except in designated spots. Buses, RVs, and trailers were in the mix—between backing up and moving forward, how do you expect me to... pass? At some spots, I had to "burn some oil" (non-edible). The beautiful viewpoints along Jotunheimen Park and its high peaks were hard-earned.



By midday, the 26°C of previous days gave way to 11°C with downpours and gusts. To reach Kaupanger, its stave church, and Route 55 (108 km), we took the Fodnes-Mannheller ferry for 119 kr (about 13 euros) for a 20-minute crossing. For these short trips, rotations are frequent, and wait times are short. The Sognefjellet route took us along lakes and snow-capped peaks—too bad the weather wasn’t cooperating. In Bøverdalen, in the middle of nowhere, we reached the Elveseter Hotel, the only one in the area, and it was packed. Luckily, it’s big. Recent reviews had us a bit worried, but personally, all the well-maintained wooden buildings gave the place charm. Our two small, simple rooms had character, and the common areas’ decor was interesting—a pile of antiques... Unless you dine on-site (reservations required for one of two sittings), the only option is to drive 20 km to Lom to see its beautiful stave church—but we didn’t go in (7 euros per person, and that’s enough). Dinner was three pizzas for 70 euros—yes, it’s expensive here.



Note that in most establishments, bars, or restaurants, you have to order and pay at the counter yourself. A *stavkirke* or *stavkyrkje* (in Norwegian Bokmål and Nynorsk) is a medieval wooden church typical of Norway, though excavations suggest similar churches may have existed elsewhere in Northern Europe. About 1,300 medieval churches were recorded, with 28 preserved in Norway. In French, they’re called "églises en bois debout" (standing wood churches) because masts or posts support the roof and nave elevation, as well as the walls. The stave church is one of the most elaborate and technically advanced types of wooden construction in Northwestern Europe during the Middle Ages. This technique is represented by the Urnes Stave Church (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), Borgund (the best-preserved in its medieval form), and 25 others—from the largest, Heddal, to the smallest, Undredal, in the stunning Sognefjord, plus a few others in Northwestern Europe.

DAY 7. Heading to Trondheim—supposedly 320 km, but with detours, it was nearly 550. Unpredictable weather until about 1:00 PM, but it’s better because it’s the day of the "triples": 3 scenic routes, 3 ferries, and 3 "underwater" tunnels. No rush—here, there’s no need to "hurry to arrive before night" because as you head north, the sun lingers and sets less and less, eventually not setting at all. First, in Grotli, we took the 27 km of Route 258, *Gamle Strynefjellsvegen* (achoo), also very narrow and unpaved in the first section. Luckily, campers and RVs aren’t early risers—otherwise, I’d have had to make not just oil but olives this time. We only passed four other users. However, despite the early hour, local road workers were already on the job, and we had to ask the excavators to move several times to let us pass. At Langvatnet, we joined Route 63, called the Eagle Road here—mediocre, except for Geiranger at the end of the narrowest fjord in the country. A cruise ship had just unloaded its passengers, who rushed into the few shops. After the Eidsdal-Linge ferry (10 minutes) and Gudbrandsjuvet with its waterfalls, we tackled the famous Trollstigen (Troll’s Path), winding and very touristy. Coming from the south, we descended it. Mandatory photo stop at the tourist center and its impressive walkway. The descent into the valley was tough—the bus driver ahead of us must’ve been disabled, blind, and quadriplegic, taking two tries at every hairpin turn, causing a traffic jam behind and for those "going up" waiting at passing spots!!!



On Route 64, we took the Åfarnes-Solnes ferry instead of the initially planned 660 because my young passenger insisted on part of the "Atlantic Road." From what we’d read on blogs, only the last 11 km are spectacular, with arched bridges connecting islets. So, in Molde, we headed to Eide, then Vevang—beautiful but nothing more. The rain spoiled the scenery. Quick photo stop in Kristiansund, then a long underwater tunnel and the Kanestraum-Halsa ferry (7 km, 20 minutes) to reach the E39 toward Trondheim.



We all agreed that all these wooden houses and churches reminded us of the U.S. in their architecture—especially since, like there, a flagpole with the national flag often stands in front of homes. Trondheim, Norway’s third city, doesn’t have much to see. A university town in the country’s center, aside from its Nidaros Cathedral (closed when we arrived late), its wooden bridge, and colorful old docks on pilings—nothing else. Even finding food was complicated. As for accommodation, Booking.com had forgotten to mention that the Nidaros Pilgrimsgard is a "pilgrim hostel" on the Camino de Santiago. Monastic atmosphere and spartan rooms for reflection—same for the frugal breakfast in silence... Anyway... Luckily, the night before, in a kitschy place run by hip youngsters, I’d stocked up on a hearty assortment of marinated herring with aquavit that burned the rest of my esophagus. (BAKLANDET SKYDSSTATION) I’m really doing all the work for you...

DAY 8. Heading to Mo i Rana—633 km actually covered instead of the planned 480 through Nord-Trøndelag!!! After Steinkjer and its fjord, we decided to take Route 763, parallel to the E6, for less traffic and to see pretty mountain villages. We also stopped in Bola to see a petroglyph (Stone Age rock carving) of a reindeer. After Medja, we skipped Kjerringfoss and Europe’s largest salmon ladder (paid access). Instead, via the Holm-Vennesund ferry, we took a bit of the scenic Route 17 before reaching Mosjøen and Mo i Rana (too many ferries if you do the whole route). Along the way, we saw reindeer and moose relaxing on the road several times. Mo i Rana is small. The Ole Tobias Hotel was packed, and parking was complicated. For dinner, we crossed the street to "No. 3," the only option. Two spicy bacalao and a whale steak cost us 90 euros... At this rate, I had to find an ATM to finish the Norwegian stay properly. The 2,000 euros exchanged before leaving (at 9.28) were already partially gone. Cigarettes cost 13 euros a pack here—twice as much as in Sweden—while unleaded gas is 1.85 euros per liter.

DAY 9. Heading to the main event of the trip: the Lofoten Islands. First programming mistake: not studying the subject well, I preferred a shorter ferry crossing from further north on the mainland. But that also meant arriving further north on the islands.



I booked for 50 euros (vehicle, driver, and two passengers included on the official Torghatten Nord site) for Bognes-Lødingen—a one-hour crossing. I should’ve left from Bodø to Leknes or better yet Moskenes and the town of Å for three hours—it would’ve saved time by avoiding the drive north and crossing to the south before heading back up the islands. Luckily, we still managed two different routes. Fortunately, the great weather returned, and I have to say, IT’S REALLY, REALLY, REALLY... BEAUTIFUL... Memory cards are melting—not just from the heat.



Two things worked in our favor, if I may say so, and countered my little blunder: first, I’d booked the 2:30 PM ferry, but arriving at the departure at noon, we easily took the earlier one—two hours saved. With the longer crossings, rotations with only two boats are much less frequent (8 to 12 per day depending on the season, vs. 6 to 8 for the southern route). Second, after Mo i Rana, we crossed the Arctic Circle, and today, the sun only "sets" from 12:20 AM to 1:50 AM. What luck! With a 7:40 AM departure (after sleeping in), I could drive until 11:00 PM easy!!!!!! And cover only 740 km!!!!!! Here, winters don’t drop below zero, but from early November to late January, it’s night almost all the time, with a supposed daylight clarity from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM like a rainy day back home. But apparently, the northern lights and reflections on the snow also provide light!! I’d love to see that, but I’ll have to come back... We crisscrossed everything humanly possible, sometimes stopping abruptly in the middle of the road for photos—much to the locals’ dismay, but they’re used to the madness of temporary invaders enchanted by the place... These steep mountains "falling" into the water with all those colorful "rorbu" villages are magnificent. Rorbu are traditional fishermen’s cabins on stilts by the water, which over time have become the must-stay accommodation here—many have never housed any fishermen!!! The villages follow one after another, each more beautiful than the last. In Nusfjord, in season, pedestrians are even charged an access fee between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM. At 7:00 PM, the booth was closed—lucky us, no crowd. The ochre wooden facades are beautiful, but don’t get too close—the seagulls nest there and see any approach as aggression. The result? Bomb-like droppings that can leave unpleasant memories. Go peek inside the grocery store—it’s kept its old-world charm. With the season, the many cod drying racks are empty. The hour turned, and our southward journey stopped in Reine—too bad for Å, not far, but fatigue got the better of me. We had to "go back up" to Kabelvåg for our rorbu at Nyvågar. We’d stocked up on groceries to eat quietly in this cozy little place (very small single beds upstairs).

DAY 10. We headed back north on the islands to reach Tromsø (grandiosely nicknamed the "Paris of the North"), with a late 7:50 AM departure despite 450 km to cover—things are getting lax at the end of the trip!!! However, this stop didn’t reveal much of interest—it’s the lake region, but meh. Tour operators include it as the last stop toward the far north. Aside from the Målselvfossen waterfall and its (paid) salmon ladder, nothing to report. We arrived at 3:00 PM, and the second room in our Quality Saga Hotel wasn’t ready yet. Plus, the parking we’d requested wasn’t accessible—the eight spots were taken. Even in this small town, free and easy parking is rare. Two souvenir shops and a main street (Storgata)—that’s it. Not to mention a nice storm that cooled things down. The only curiosity is the church, but it’s closed and under renovation—the exterior scaffolding ruins the only photo opportunity here. Otherwise, the Arctic Cathedral is visible from afar—that’s enough for us. The sun only sets for 20 minutes, from 12:40 AM to 1:00 AM!!!!! Last note before leaving this country: every morning at the breakfast buffet with all those eggs, I asked for a Norwegian omelet. Believe it or not, they don’t know the recipe for a Norwegian omelet!!!! 😏😛😉

DAY 11. Heading to Finland (with an extra hour time difference) and Rovaniemi, self-proclaimed official Santa Claus Village—it’s not nice to play on kids’ heartstrings for money!!!! On the 400 km of road (that or avoiding the Lofoten), nothing to see except two sad "Sami" shops. But there’s also AND ESPECIALLY: The run-in with a police radar mounted on the dashboard to welcome me to this country: alone, on a straight, flat road in the middle of the forest, I had this privilege—especially at a spot limited to 80 km/h instead of 100 as I thought. Of course, most well-meaning readers will think: serves him right... Only here’s the thing: in Finland, for years, speeding fines depend on the "Päiväsakko," meaning based on your income and number of children, a subtle calculation of average daily money is made and multiplied proportionally to the estimated severity of the offense... Ignorant of this, I naively but honestly answered the questions. The result? The fine was enormous—I won’t say the amount out of shame, but especially out of hatred for this country that ruined my vacation. Others like me, potential murderers, have been fined up to 170,000 euros (I wrote ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY THOUSAND EUROS) for a 40 km/h speeding offense!!!! I hope the clowns running France quickly adopt this particularly SOCIAL measure. Let the lazy and parasites of the country freely enjoy the road in their BMWs and MERCs!!! Let me tell you, I’ll spend my savings elsewhere in the future. So, a tip: be as dishonest as these conscientious police—say you’re unemployed with five kids, and maybe they’ll give you money!!!!! I’m really disgusted. No wonder in this nothing-to-see town, drivers sheepishly drive in a "little train" at 40 behind an RV without anyone daring to overtake. I think sometimes human stupidity should have limits, and the word freedom should regain its meaning!!! To those who understand, cheers. And as written at the start: trolls, abstain. I stand by what I said and sign it. After this brutal introduction to Finnish discriminatory laws, you can imagine Rovaniemi and its two-bit Santa Claus—I couldn’t care less. Even under the storm, at 6:00 PM on Sunday, even in summer, the scammer shops and profiteers of the Santa Claus Village (conveniently located on the Arctic Circle...) were already closed. Good riddance!!! The Arctic City Hotel is fine. I struggled to swallow my Tex-Mex at Pancho Villa (local chain).

DAY 12. Toward Oulu via Tornio, 200 km, and again, nothing to see in this land of lakes and forests. Detour and only photo stop in Tervola for a wooden church—my vacation is officially ruined... The Cumulus City Hotel is fine in this pleasant but empty and dull city, though it’s a university and tech hub. To cheer myself up, we splurged on a supposedly Viking meal at Harald—don’t know if the recipes are authentic, but my "Viking" knowledge stops at Vik, the animated boobs... Anyway, it’s good, unusual, and hearty.

DAY 13. After struggling to fill the tank (no station open with cash payment, only cards), we returned the chariot at the airport. The offices weren’t open yet at this early hour (8:35 AM flight), so I left the key in a mailbox without any inspection—I didn’t like that at all. I thought we’d get a propeller plane, but it was a well-filled Airbus. One-hour flight to Helsinki, the capital. Impossible to get clear information on buses to the city center, 40 km away. So, for 37 euros, we took a taxi with a trunk big enough for our three suitcases and three "cabin" bags. I’m not counting the cost anymore. At 10:00 AM, we could finally check into our large triple room at the Cumulus City Hotel on Hakaniemi Square—again, despite the size, with a fold-out armchair bed. Off to visit our last city, with the obvious purchase—you guessed it—a 24-hour bus ticket with a 1.5-hour mini-cruise for 43 euros per person...



The boat tour showed that the standard of living seems high here too—summer homes (or not) on the islands are very beautiful. A small canal was even dug to save these lucky owners time on maritime transport. Apartments sell for a fortune. Back at Market Square, we grabbed a snack at the market—a reindeer kebab with dried reindeer, cheese, and a mini cracker—simple but delicious. No time to waste—ours is limited. Even if there’s not much to see tourist-wise. Four churches compete: the very busy and beautiful Helsinki Cathedral (better outside than in), its direct rival the Orthodox Uspenski Cathedral (same), the Rock Church (Temppeliaukio) and the Wooden Church (Kampin)—both as beautiful inside as out!!! Here too, very little car traffic, but tons of people—tourists or not—and joggers. In the evening, a bit tired, we headed to the off-center hotel to try the Scandinavian Hesburger chain. For connoisseurs and 29 euros, decent fries and burgers resembling Burger King’s—while the other American giant is left behind. Personal taste, I guess. The next day, we took the bus tour again, passing the Parliament and the controversial Sibelius Monument—a 24-ton pile of clanging iron pipes. Then, to kill time, we headed to Linnanmäki amusement park, on a hill overlooking the city. Rides are packed together, and a new one appears every year. Mostly family-oriented, but two or three thrill rides were packed. Despite my advancing age, I gave it a try—obviously regretted it afterward... Europe’s oldest wooden roller coaster (1950) shows the genius of its creators, with a brakeman at the back—worth the detour and passes the time. We ate (if you can call it that) on-site for 19 euros. Back "in town," classic shopping centers are numerous, but souvenir shops can be counted on one hand. No matter—we had to pack because tomorrow’s the return. We ate burgers again near the hotel and Hes... but served at the table for 67 euros. The next morning, to kill time before the 4:00 PM flight, we went to the port and its tourist market, where I splurged 15 euros on a cap to add to (or clutter) my already well-stocked collection. We finally learned that bus 615 goes to the airport, with a stop in front of our hotel where the luggage was left in storage after checking out. Still, count 40 minutes with this indirect route. Via an Air France flight operated by Finnair, after 3 hours, we returned to Roissy CDG—our vacation is truly over!!!!!!

CONCLUSION (if I may) Among the three capitals we visited, our unanimous ranking is: Oslo, Helsinki, and Stockholm—period. Despite a few imperfections in my itinerary, I’d say the Lofoten Islands are really worth it—two days on-site is a minimum. Finland, and not just because of the radars, is way below—nothing to see tourist-wise. I didn’t say nothing to do for those with time—nuance... Norwegian fjords, even if once you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all, are really beautiful, though this destination is quite expensive for us. Norway, thanks to its oil and gas, is very wealthy, near full employment, with an annual GDP per capita of 70,000 euros!!! A pack of cigarettes at 13 euros and beer at 10 euros doesn’t make this a dream destination for an addict like me. We were very lucky with the weather—only two and a half days of rain over 14, unlike many bloggers whose stories I read before leaving. The welcome wasn’t always what we expected. Despite the massive French presence, we’re not always as welcome as Asian conquerors, to whom the West, racing to its doom, continues to roll out the red carpet—literally! I don’t regret our choice—it’s worth seeing once, but only once. At least now we know what we’re talking about!!!!! Finally, as always, here’s the link to my public slideshow on YouTube. For the private one, some spicy scenes (especially with Santa and a troll) could cause me more problems—I’ve had enough!!! www.youtube.com/...zbIgZC6Pk&t=165s See you soon, maybe for new adventures and getaways.

Bonjour Sans doute un de nos derniers grands voyages vu l'âge ...4 semaines complètes en Norvège, de Bergen à Larvik en passant par Narvik. Je sais que ce n'est pas le plus rapide... J'ai déja évoqué ce projet "Ferry entre le Danemark et Bergen ", mais je l'ai repris suite à des remarques de Krikri6792. C'est un pays que nous avons visité il y a 30 ans en caravane vers le cap Nord. Arrivés à Bodo, après avoir été éblouis par le soleil de minuit, on s'est arrété pour folatrer dans le quartier et revenir tranquillement. Ce coup ci, on focalise au départ sur les fjords de l'Ouest et les Lofoten et on est arrivé à cela:

Caen - Hambourg - Hirstall ( Ferry) On débarque à Bergen le 27 mai Bergen (visite ville) Granvin ( Fjord) - Voss - Sogndal Fjaerland (Glacier ) Skel Briksdalsbreen - Olden (Glacier, randonnées) ) Stryn - Grotli - Geiranger ( "Croisière", randonnées) Valdal Andalness Alesund -Molde - Trondheim ( Visite Ville ?) - Mosjoen Svartisen (Glacier) Bodo ( Ferry ) Lofoten ( Randonnées) Narvik - Kiruna - Jokkmokk ( Musée sami) Arvidsjaur - Ostersund - Roros ( Parc naturel) Ringebu Lillehammer - Oslo ( Visite ville ) Larvik ( Ferry) - Hirstall - Hambourg - Caen ( retour impératif le 25 juin... )

Le ferry entre Hirstall et Bergen c'est "Croisière" pour se reposer, gagner du temps avec 16 h de bateau et pour info 260 € en cabine extérieure. C'est déjà acté et en dehors de cela, aucune étape n'est vraiment établie, sauf les villes soulignées et encore c'est pas sûr... Je me suis basé sur les nombreux récits ( merci à tous) et sur la doc fournie par visitnorway, mais qu'en pensent les spécialistes et amoureux de ces contrées sachant que nous sommes plus nature que monuments (quoique...). Je m'interroge par exemple sur Molde et Alesund. Ces villes sont elles remarquables ? Un vieux "Routard" dit même de les laisser de coté... Et il y a ce long trajet de Kiruna à Roros... ne risque t il pas d'être lassant ? Mais arrivé si haut et ne pas faire un détour en Laponie cela serait dommage...

Merci de me critiquer et de corriger le projet.

Alain

Bonjour à tous,

Je suis en train de préparer mon futur circuit de 3 semaines à moto pour le Cap-Nord en juin juillet 2015. Pour l'aller la côte ouest de la Norvège pas de problème, Mais par contre, je ne sais pas, par ou redescendre, Finlande, Suède ou Norvège ? Et surtout quels sites intéressants à visiter. Merci pour votre aide.

Cordialement

Laurent

Nous quittons la maison le vendredi 5 juillet au soir et prenons l eurostar LILLE LONDRES nuit à londres a l'hotel PARK PLAZZA WESTMINSTER BRIDGE tres bel hotel proche de la gare de Waterloo, le samedi 6 juillet nous prenons le train londres southampton / 1h15 de trajet arrivee a southampton à 10h50, le terminal de croisière est proche mais avec nos 2 grosses valises nous décidons d'emprunter un taxi cela nous coute 5 livres sterling on sort du taxi et la du personnel celebrity est present pour receptionner nos valises, ils apprécient que les étiquettes soient déjà apposées un gain de temps pour tout le monde nous commencons tout de suite l'embarquement qui est tres bien organisé et rapide a 11h30 on est sur le bateau, mais les cabines ne seront pretes qu a 13h30 nous patientons sur les ponts superieurs il fait tres beau et tres chaud.

Premieres impressions, les passagers nous semblent vraiment agés, pas mal de chaises roulantes, de cannes de petits vehicules electriques, ça fait drole je dois dire... on se dit qu'on va etre les juniors du bateau lol finalement non ... on trouvera plus jeune que nous 😉 mais bon il a fallu chercher fabrice mon mari fait une blague douteuse en disant qu on se croirait a lourdes 😉 enfin il y a des bons cotés beaucoup moins d'enfants et donc de bruit !!

concernant le bateau la decoration est sobre parfois un peu trop a mon gout ... mais certains endroits sont tres beaux notamment la biblitoheque un salon avec des fauteuils en cuir et des cheminées a l avant du bateau et ce que j'ai beaucoup aimé ce sont des recoins intimistes, des lits a baldaquins bes hamacs a partager a 2 au pont 15 on s'empresse daller decouvrir le LAWN CLUB une pelouse !!! whaou c super sympa mais aujourd hui on ne peut pas y aller il est noté que "la pelouse se repose "😉

nous decouvrons la cabine, un petit sac blanc avec des chaussons en eponge est disposé sur le lit, ainsi qu'un petit sac pouvant se transformer en plus grand, tres sympa ! la cabine est joliment décorée elle nous parait un peu plus grande que d habitude plus longue le canapé est grand, le balcon plus profond la salle de bain plus grande, notamment la douche qui se revelera etre un moment de pur bonheur de par son option hydromassante des pommes et des fleurs sont disposées coté salon le journal de bord et des petits mots sont posés sur le lit. On decide d'aller voir le restaurant attitré le BLU car on souhaite reserver une table pour ce soir le responsable nous informe qu il n est pas possible de reserver , on aurait aimé avoir une table à la fenetre mais impossible de reserver , ce restaurant est en anytime dining on peut venir entre 17h75 et 21h00 le reponsable parle français !! un des rares sur le bateau, il nous conseille de profiter de la promo de la journée reservée aux aqua class (50%) et de tester un restaurant à supplement... nous allons jeter un coup d oeiil au MURANO restaurant traditionnel français, la personne nous donne un menu en français et j avoue qu on se laisse seduire devant lintitulé des plats on décide de reserver pour 19h15

A SUIVRE..... Notre diner au MURANO, la restauration en bord les 2 premiers jours en mer....

Bonjour,

J'envisage pour 2013 un congé sans solde de plusieurs mois pour me rendre au Cap Nord à vélo. A la lecture des nombreux messages traitant des pays sacandinaves sur ce forum et des blogs de voyageurs au long cours, j'ai l'impression que ce n'est pas une destination très prisée par les femmes en solo (peur du climat 🤪 !). Ceux qui ont pédalé sur les routes de Scandinavie ont-ils croisé des femmes seules randonnant en vélo ou est-ce une idée totalement farfelue comme semble le penser mon entourage ?

Bonjour,

En juillet prochain, ma conjointe et moi prendrons le Princess Danae pour notre toute première croisière. Il s'agit de la croisière "Magie du Cap Nord" que nous avons trouvée sur Internet avec "NDS Voyages" / "Croisières Notre Temps".

À titre informatif, nous sommes deux Québécois dans le début de la quarantaine et avons pris une cabine extérieur sur le pont Mars.

Puisque c'est notre première croisière, j'ai plusieurs questions!Habituellement, est-ce que la mer est tranquille dans cette région?Dans ce coin du monde, à quelle genre de température dois-je m'attendre sur le pont du bateau? Devons-nous obligatoirement porter des vêtements "chic" pour les repas (veston/cravate, robe)?Lors des repas, est-ce que les prix des vins sont raisonnables par rapport à ce qu'on paierait dans un restaurant? D'après votre propre expérience, est-ce que les excursions sont intéressantes et en valent leur prix? Découverte de Bergen (demi-journée - 50 €)Olden - Le glacier de Briksdal (demi-journée - 50 €)Fläm/Vik - La vallée de Voss (journée - 130 €)Hellesylt/Geiranger - La route des fjords (journée - 120 €)Gravdal - Découverte des îles Lofoten (journée - 130 €)Honningsvag - Le Cap Nord (soirée - 70 €)Lors du retour, avec un débarquement à Tromsø prévu pour 14h30, est-ce réaliste de penser que nous serons à Paris vers 20h00? Et est-ce qu'on arrive à Orly ou à Charles-de-Gaulle?Y a-t-il quelque chose que nous devons absolument savoir - quelque chose que vous auriez aimé savoir avant votre première croisière mais que personne ne vous a dit?Je vous remercie à l'avance pour vos réponses et vos commentaires.🙂

bonjour, nous avons éffectué notre 1ière croisière à bord du costa luminosa du 10 au 24 juillet 2009 dans les fjords de norvège, de amsterdam au spitzberg en passant par le cap nord, tout fut un véritable enchantement. si vous voulez des renseignements sur cette croisière(soleil de minuit) n'hésitez pas. à bientôt brigitte

Bonjour, nous prévoyons de partir cet été pour Cap Nord, suite à des echos et la lecture de guides, nous sommes un peu effrayés par le coût de la vie en Norvège et tout ce qui s'y rapporte ( carburant, nourriture, péages...), nous nous sommes dits qu'il vaudrait peut-être mieux monter par la Finlande où le coût serait moins cher, car à ce jour il nous semble que cela va être exhorbitant ! qu'en pensez-vous ?

Combien sommes-nous à préparer notre projet prévu dans l'année ? Nombreux sans doute.

Quel est le vôtre qui vous fait crever d'impatience depuis bien longtemps, trop longtemps peut-être ? Nous, c'est modestement PARIS-ROME en juin 2009. Et vous ?

Que la passion continue de vous gagner avant, pendant et après ! Bons préparatifs et bon vent à toutes et à tous.

bonjour, à tous: je pars avec le MS C LIRICA du 01 juin au 12 juin 2009 pour une croisière en Norvège, cap nord.S'il y a des forumeurs près pour commencer la discussion. C OK!

Bonjour,

J'envisage de partir en juin en Norvège avec ma voiture (2 passagers). Je n'ai pas de date précise Doit-on réserver à l'avance le ferry entre Hirtshals et Kristiansand ? Combien coûte cette traversée ? Quelle est la meilleure compagnie ? Quel site dois-je consulter pour faire cette réservation ?

Si je ne réserve rien, le coût est-il plus important ? Comment dois-je procéder lorsque j'arrive au port d'embarquement

Merci pour tous vos conseils MARIE

Bonjour à tous. Nous partons le 6 juillet avec Costa pour une croisière dans les fjords. Je n'arrive pas à trouver d'informations concernant deux escales : ARHUS DANEMARK et KRISTIANSAND NORVEGE. Dans la mesure du possible nous préférons éviter les excursions que propose le navire pour être plus libres. Avez vous des informations à me communiquer pour ces deux escales ? Nous partons de Warnemunde puis irons à Copenhague, Hellesylt-Geiranger, et Bergen. Merci pour vos réponses

Bonjour,

Je lance une bouteille à la mer, car je crois que ce coin de la Norvège n'est pas très visité...

Suite à la croisière sur le Lysefjord (descente à Lysebotn), nous désirons rallier Kristiansand en voiture. Google Maps propose 3 itinéraires assez semblables en temps et en distance.

1 - par la FV42 et la E39 2 - par la RV9 et la E18 3 - par la FV42 et la RV9

Je serais portée à prendre le 2e trajet, car la route longe plus souvent de l'eau, mais ça peut être trompeur.

Je sais que ce n'est pas le plus joli coin de la Norvège, mais nous voudrions égayer la longue route par de jolis paysages.

Est-ce qu'il y a quelqu'un qui s'est déjà aventuré dans cette région et qui pourrait nous donner des conseils?

Merci.

pour réserver un ferry de hirsthals a kristiansand a qui s adresser mis a part fjord line, un vrai calvaire pour comprendre et s inscrire! un autre site par exemple?

Bonjour

j'envisage un séjour en cc du 15 mai au 31 juillet en traversant de hirtshals (danemark) vers kristiansand (norvège).

Pourriez-vous m'indiquer les tarifs mon cc est un 7, 40 m.

Merci

Bonjour,

Je viens de réserver la traversée entre le Danemark (Hirtshals) et la Norvège ( Kristiansand).

Avez-vous des suggestions d'itinéraire, sachant que nous aimons prendre notre temps et ne comptons pas aller plus loin que Trondheim (on fera les iles Lofoten et le Nord une prochaine fois) ?

Je vous remercie pour vos idées et conseils !!

Bonjour, 😉 Je souhaiterais apprendre le norvegien car je souhaite partir vivre a Kristiansand en septembre 2011. Ne trouvant pas d'association sur paris je me dis qu'il y a peut etre une personne sur ce site qui pourrait m'apprendre au moins "les bases" pour que je puisse "m'en sortir" une fois sur place. 🙂 sachant que mon anglais n'est pas perfect 😏 Je vous remercie d'avoir pris le temps de lire mon annonce et j'espere trouver ma ou mon prof de norvegien 😉

Bonjour, Nous désirons aller en Norvege en camping-car (fourgon). On a l'intention de prendre le ferry d'Hirtshals à Kristiansand. On aimerait savoir si la réservation est obligatoire ou si nous pouvons nous présenter à l'embarquement directement en sachant qu'on peut attendre le lendemain pour partir....(meme question pour le retour). Merci par avance. Cordialement;

Bonjour,

Nous programmons avec ma femme un voyage en cyclotourisme en Norvège durant l'été 2020 (Nordkapp -> Kristiansand par la côte).

Pour l'aller, nous devrions faire le trajet Tromso -> Honningsvag avec l'express côtier. Le bateau programmé sur le jour nous intéressant est le "MS Lofoten" et je vous sollicite afin de savoir si ce navire accepte les vélos (il n'a pas de pont pour les voitures). J'ai écrit à la compagnie pour avoir des précisions mais... pas de réponse jusqu'à présent.

Merci par avance de votre aide à venir et bonne journée 🙂

François

Bonjour nous partons le premier juin pour une croisiere de huit jours dans les fjords copenhaghe/hellesylt/geiranger/bergen/kristiansand/aarhus/quels sont les endroit a pouvoir visiter par nos propres moyen et quels sont les excursions incontournables merci pour les réponses

bonjour, nous partons à la fin du mois pour 3 semaines en Norvège avec notre van aménagé. tour prévu: depuis Kristiansand puis rotation horaire jusqu'à Trondheim et retour par Oslo et la Suède. je me pose 2 questions pratiques: la nécessité ou pas de prendre l'auto pass (bien que ma première impression va vers le non; quite à attendre la note à la maison) et est-ce nécessaire de prendre la carte des campings scandinaves ou peut-on y résider sans elle? d'autant que nous espérons faire un peu de camping sauvage. est-ce simple de camper à Oslo; nous voudrions y rester 48 h pas plus et nous emmenons nos vélos.

merci de vos informations

Nous allons faire un voyage à vélo en norvege. nous aimerions bien prendre le train à certains endroits: oslo - konsberg kristiansand - Egersund.

on m'a dit que les trains norvégiens acceptent les vélo ? faut il réserver? longtemps à l'avance ?

merci

Bonjour

Je vais partir en voyage vers le milieu du mois d'aout 2019, et je vais prendre deux ferry : Puttgarden - Rodby (aller) Kristiansand - Hirtshals (retour)

Je vois beaucoup de messages contradictoires sur les forums en fonction des destinations mais ma principale question : Est ce que je dois réserver à l'avance ?

Pour la Corse il semble qu'il faut 18 mois de préparation, en grèce on dit qu'il vaut mieux acheter sur place...

Si je réserve à l'avance, est ce qu'il faut récupérer les billets sur place ? Est ce que les prix changent en fonction du temps qui passe ?

Merci pour vos réponses

Hi there, Is it possible to help me choose between two MSC cruises to Norway? The first one: departs from Copenhagen, then Hellesylt, Nordfjordeid, Flåm, and finally Kiel. The second one: departs from Warnemünde, then Sandnes, Bergen, Kristiansand, and finally Hamburg. Note that the price difference is 150 €, with the first one being more expensive. Cheers,

Bonjour, C'est la première fois que nous allons faire une croisière avec cette Compagnie. J'aimerais avoir un peu plus d'informations générales (déroulement séjour, soiree, tenue, argent à bord, les pass boissons, les souvenirs qu'on peut ramener à bord) Ainsi des idées pour visiter Merci

Les escales pour informations sont Oslo Kristiansand Stavanger Flam Du 2juin au 9juin départ Amsterdam à bord du ms Statendam
