LIVING on a HOUSEBOAT in Stavanger, Norway | Norway Travel Guide (Ep 1)

Stavanger, Norway - Steve and I arrived in Norway to begin a two-week adventure around the Western Fjords, Lofoten Islands, and Oslo.
On day one, we were scheduled to hike to the Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen) however, weather did not allow it.
Instead, we went out and tried to find the best things to do in Stavanger, including a trip to Gamle Stavanger's old town, the Maritime Museum, and we tried some traditional Norwegian Food!
The adventure is only just beginning, so it was a nice relaxing first day in Stavanger, Norway!

Thank you! I have never seen your content before, but wow, This was amazing. I live and grew up in Stavanger and you captured my city beautifully. I see you like street art. Too bad you never got the chance to Stavanger øst where the most of it is, but still you captured the feel and blend with art, history and local food. Loved this. Subscribed instantly

The Preikestolen hike was the best ever hiked I've ever done so far in my life. It was sunny when I left the parking lot but from the middle of the hike , hail storm started, then at the last 200 meters, it was sun a nd clouds. I flew my drone outside the 200m mark as it was illegal to fly within the 200m mark.

Real shame you didn't get to visit Preikestolen. I'm sure you've seen pictures, but they really don't do the view justice. Also, I'd recommend the Oil Museum if you ever visit again; it's a step up from the maritime museum imo. A trip to Preikestolen is almost worth a return visit by itself.
