We'll hop across the North Sea on an Embraer, see some of magnificent Norway from the air, take the fast train to the city, jump aboard the most scenic Metro I've ever been on, and take a look at the home of a Norwegian obsession that scares the life out of me! All in a days adventurising :)
Filmed 5th September 2022.
ABZ OSL 08:30 11:05 LM59
Flight price £99.99 inc seat selection (8A)
I will be continuing my journey from Oslo in the next video, stay tuned for that one!

Hi, I’m Steve, a travel reviewer from Scotland. Join me on my adventures as I discover my own country, often visiting places for the first time, so hopefully it's as much of an eye-opener for you as it is for me! Don't expect expert opinion, just a very honest journey of discovery. Sometimes featuring my intrepid sidekick Alicja, sometimes featuring adventures beyond the borders of Scotland. Enjoy!

You've hit the mark yet again. You just seem to have the personality for it. And that's the word - you somehow make these videos personal, almost like it's one-to-one. I once stood at the top of a ski slope, in Rovaniemi on the Finnish Arctic Circle, and how anyone could launch themselves down that is beyond me.
Thanks so much Barry! :) Oh, I'd love to visit that slope too!
Another fab watch. It seems like all the staff for Loganair are super friendly and know how to greet passengers . 😊
They really are a credit to the airline!
I love the bagpiper
I just had to laugh when the bagpiper stopped playing at 6:15 at the same time as you can hear a jet engine spooling down in the background. Perfect timing!
The water canon salute was a nice touch!
Man, Norway is just ridiculously stunning! 👌
Never a truer thing said!
And ridiculously expensive.
@@EinkOLED Oh come one, it's only £5 for a coffee and £25 for a hamburger. The way things are going in the UK, we'll soon have caught up with them.
Ssssh, keep it secret.
I had an interview for a job in Norway last week.
@@EinkOLED It's about the same prices as most west european capitals.
Thank You, Thank You for all your travels. I'm 76 with mobility issues and can't get around that much any more. Your videos are just the ticket to allow my mind to wander a wee bit. You and Alicija are so perfect that I feel almost like family. I hope I spelled her name right. I loved your Warsaw trip as I'm Polish and would love to see my Grandparents home country. Again Thank You.
Been here!!! Done Holmenkollen! So many happy memories back in the 1970's. Big sigh. Thank you. 😊🎉
Great Video. One thing I noticed about Oslo in this video is that it's very clean lol. No wonder it's one of the most expensive places to go too. Nice to shout out the cabin crew for the journey.
The whole place is incredibly clean and like the future :D There's a lot of money in that gorgeous wee country!
"Nice to shout out the cabin crew for the journey" 👍👍👍
Great update Steve , we loved it and can't wait to see the rest , regards to Alicia
It's really clean because there's nothing else to do there except clean.
@@robs4988 More to do in Norway than here
Scandanavian countries always look immaculately clean. Another great video Steve.
They really are mate!
It's just that Britain is a dirty place sprayed with dog pee every where......
That's changing though .
Wonderful scenery Steve, really gave me a lift! Recently watched the Eddie the eagle film. When you look at those heights in the video, it made me realize that Eddie, not being the greatest ski-jumper of all time must have been one of the bravest! Scary or what!!!
So true! If there's one sport where it's toughest when you're not very good, this is the one!!! Nothing but respect for him! :)
You did it again, Steve. Now, you have me wanting to go to Oslo and visit the ski jump!
Haha who would have thought it eh!? :)
The skijump in Lillehammer is also worth a visit. The Olympic games in 1994, the jump was new buildt for the OL . Lillehammer is a very nice , small town. Beautiful nature. Train from Oslo , passing Mjøsa, the biggest lake in Norway, and passing Eidsvoll and Hamar
The pictures of the approach to Oslo airport were just stunning! 🤗
And that complementary wash was actually a good service! Maybe Scottish Rail should open a line to Oslo as well if their trains are that dirty? 😁
Haha good point, they would be put to shame in sparkling Norway :)
So, Steve, you let poor Alicja go up alone to the top of the fourth bridge with the excuse of afraid of heights 🤢. I think it was the elevator that got you thinking... I’ll send her instead 😂 Another great trip. Thank you for taking us along. Blessings to you both.
Haha I was happy to pay for her to go up there :D
Norwegian Wood .. ha ha ha ! Nice one Steve Marsh 🤣
Hello from Norway Steve and thanks for lots of great travel videos 👍🇸🇯 And say hello to Alicja. Love your videos ❤
Alright Steve. Just seen this as I am 4 miles from Fort William coming down past Ben Nevis. West Highland way almost done. 16 miles today. Am aboot deed. 😂
SUPERB EFFORT MATE! THE FINAL PUSH! You deserve to eat and drink like a king in Fort William!
Every even numbered year in the 70es, we'd go skiing in Norway in February, so I only know it covered in snow, which is beautiful. However, on a summer's day, you made me want to go there! I have family in Denmark, so we could drive from Lincoln to Aberdeen, get the flight, then the "booze cruise" to Copenhagen, et voila 😊
I've always wanted to visit Norway xx Bagpipes and watercannon so good x
Good video, it did not take you long to get there, plane looked comfortable and clean,
Great video - Eastern could learn a few tips here on how to greet passengers warmly. Added this to the list of places to go to now!
Aye so true mate! :)
Your visit to the ski-jump reminds me of the visit my son and I made to the ski-jump in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
I was amazed it was free to visit (can you imagine that in Britain?), but what I most remember is my then two year old son (in a pushchair after becoming tired of walking) asking me crossly after I had paused whilst pushing him up the hill to the top of the ski jump, "Why have we stopped Daddy? Come on!"
Haha that's a lad with high expectations :D
My hometown ❤ doesn't mess about! Is excactly what it needs to be! 😅
Loved his video! Glad that the reception was epic! (I enjoy bagpipes!)
Nice one Steve, watched it due to Logan Air.They fly into Norwich, so I see them daily from my back garden.
Thans for visiting my wonderful city :) Next time come in winter and experiense our amazing ski resort at the top of Oslo, Tryvann :)
Steve, your videos have got alot better from you first started, more voice over, less music, you visit somewhere, l sit at home enjoying your adventures, have you thought about a trip to Moor of Rannoch tea room, go for a wee walk, sleep in the van, keep up the fantastic episodes,
Oh, I love the fact they had a piper playing - what a great touch!
A cracking wee bonus :)
Nice wee trip that. In fact it's pushed me to take the trip next year. The ferry to Norway is basically a 20 minute drive from my house in NL!!!. I've heard the trains are great in Norway,, especially the Bergen Oslo route.
Oslo looked a great welk kept city, looking forward to it already. 👍
Good on you! Oh would LOVE to sample the Bergen Oslo train!
Wow, what a cool city! I like some of the architecturally modern buildings.
That was fab! Bit of the old Norse DNA so I'm interested in Norway 😉 Eddie the Eagle, one of my fave films! Dunno if I could have gone up there though, I was surprised at you! Lovely video thanks Steve.
Another great one Steve. Love it!!
Lived in Oslo for over 3 years. I loved it.
What a place!
Looks great Steve. Can't wait for part two 👍
Lovely As Always Steve
Can’t wait for this trip!!!!
WOW Steve just another great blog from you mate,,, you deserve a lot more views. the family love watching everything you film.
Keep them coming X
Hi Steve, the modern equivalent of the Saturday morning pictures, plenty of empty jam jars available, keep them coming
Haha cheers John! Will do, have a great weekend :)
Apologies! Racing through comments today before going out to enjoy the fine weather, honest mistake :O
The Nordic countries are so beautiful, I hope to visit them one day. Thanks for sharing.
Aye, stunning! Well worth a visit and I've sure got unfinished business over there :)
Like you I have a fear of heights and at one stage I looked away from my screen to talk to someone and when I turned back you where at the top of the ski jump, my stomach clamped down and I felt the beginnings of a cold sweat but only till I came to my senses apart from that it was another lovely video, and I am looking forward to part 2,stay safe and cheers.
Haha I know that feeling well Simon. Oh just you wait til you see the video we filmed yesterday - Alicja takes heights to a whole new level :D
Impressive airport that
Great video as always! thanks, I'm finally catching up with my watch later list!
Glad you enjoyed the Holmenkolbane, I’ve walked it several times in rain, sun and snow when my employer installed the signalling about 25 years ago. With gradients up to 1:16 it’s truly a spectacular railway experience.
Thanks again Steve for taking me travelling 😍 cheers from South Australia
Way back when I was a youngster I went on the bus over to Cheltenham with my cousin and sister to watch the movie The Delinquents (Kylie Minogue film). For some reason it wasn't showing in our big cinema in Gloucester so we had to go to the dark side of the Golden Valley. As the bus was heading into Cheltenham along Gloucester Road Eddie the Eagle crossed over the road behind the bus, not on skis though, just on foot. We were all agog, "THERE'S EDDIE THE EAGLE" we exclaimed excitedly. None of the other passengers batted an eyelid!
Love it! Thanks so much for sharing that wee story :)
I spent a few days in Bergen in August. Absolutely stunning. The trip up Sognefjord and from Flam to Bergen on the train was just stunning.
Oh I'd love to do that exact trip!
It"s on my bucket list thanks to you. Well done mate.
Another great video, Steve, and what an arrival to Oslo. So impressive. Looking forward to watching the rest of your trip.
Thanks so much! Aye, that was a special wee treat for me to see that arrival, so cool!
Hello Steve, I really enjoy your videos so entertaining and informative also beautiful. Thank you 🙏
Another good vid keep em coming
Wonderful video, stunning scenery and great commentary as always! Looking forward to part 2.
Thanks so much Helen! :)
Great documentary. Can't wait for part 2. Bravo, regards from London
Thanks so much Francis! Part 2 was a lot of fun, and a real Scandinavian bargain :)
Great video. Helsinki and the island was very interesting. Thank you
Great trip Steve… You have to be a certain kind of crazy to launch yourself off the top of that ski platform… Thanks for sharing and have a great day… 👍
Another good wee trip Steve, will wait for the next leg , thank you from me in Irvine 🤗🤗
Hey Grace thanks! :)
Brilliant, thanks Steve. Norway is on our wish list x
Loved the welcome at the airport. Looking forward to part 2.
Cheers mate! I totally didn't expect it :)
That was indeed a special flight and Oslo looks fantastic!
Oh it really is Philip :)
Loved every bit of this Steve, been to Oslo many times but had no idea about the museum and the gorgeous metro connection. Love your accommodation too, you nailed it
Thanks so much! Wonderful city and country eh!? Glad you've had the pleasure :)
Just that day's travel alone makes a brilliant vid.Thank you Steve.
Cheers Michael! Part 2 was so much fun as well :)
I love this channel. Always so interesting!
Thanks very much James!
Great video Steve, what a great welcome to Oslo and I'm looking forward to the onward journey.
Thanks so much! The next stage was equally enjoyable :)
Wonderful tour Steve, lovely scenery.
Road, rail and air travel, a wonderful combination.
What a reception at the airport for the inaugural flight ( just because Steve was aboard ) ; )
Well done Steve .
Thanks for the tour.
As usual, another hit.
Haha thanks so much mate :)
Great videos,the bag pipe welcoming the first flight is something to remember, well worth it.nice of you Steve can't wait for your next trip.
Thanks so much! The ferry was fun too, stay tuned for that one :)
another great video
Wow what a welcome to Oslo…the pilot was very friendly. The country of Norway is beautiful 🤗
Absolutely Brilliant Steve, what a Great surprise, Looks a lovely country.
I was waiting for the zip line.
Well done. Cheers.
Haha no chance! This Scotsman wouldn't open his wallet for that ;)
I love how you always show how fantastic it is to get around by different ways apart from personal automobile!! Oslo looks beautiful, but that ski jump looks terrifying.
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Good video thanks
What a fantastic journey this is so far!! I'm really enjoying this one Steve.....lots of things that I love to travel on.....regional jets, fast modern trains & interesting metro lines & this just about covered it all. Oslo is gorgeous....clean & green, looks like a beautiful city for sure......like you, it would be nice to see the ski jump but you wouldn't get me to go down it on a couple of match sticks (I don't ski anyway to begin with) & I'm not sure I'd do the zip line either!! Anyway....thanks again & cheers mate...looking forward to the on-going story on this one!
Cheers Bob! Yeah, really enjoyed this wee trip. Would have liked to cover more of the Metro journey, but I wasn't expecting it to be so beautiful and was caught out being pretty low on battery. Absolutely stunning!
Great video Steve! Thanks for sharing the details about your accommodation, I love travelling but my budget is very limited so it's always good to know some cheap and decent accommodation options for any possible trips, hope to see it more in future videos
Thanks so much Fran, will make sure to include again in future videos :)
Mornin Steve inaugural flight was spot on and a great welcome 😊Oslo looked kool and metros even better. Forget the ski jump too high for me but your room was just right. Can’t wait til the ferry😉Thx again😘
Cheers Linda! The ferry was also awesome and such a bargain :) Have a great weekend!
Another great video. A Saturday tradition Coffee and a Steve video. Oslo looks beautiful
Ah thanks so much Robert! Enjoy the rest of the weekend :)
Wow,that was brilliant,hope you had a great time.✈️💗
Cheers Sean!
loved it , what a bargain the hotel was , love the ski jumping bit too . for the life of me i dont know why this channel does not have 1.5 million subs , its the best channel on you tube .
This is the kindest comment, thank you!
Thanks for sharing , Steve.Oslo looks like a very nice place.
It really is Richard! Loved it :)
Great vlog as always, looking forward to seeing the next video. Hope all is well, take care
Cheers Peter! All good, barely at home at the moment though :D
Thank you, Steve. Another great video. It's nice to have direct flight from Aberdeen to Oslo. It will give you a more convenient way to visit Norway. You must have become famous as the flight deck crew knows you.
Haha thanks Jacky! Wish I got some free flights :D
Just found your videos - think I'll be watching a few more. It's great to find someone that knows how when to speak and when not to, plus your voice makes for pleasant listening. Having relatives scattered around both Scotland and Norway you've got my attention. Thanks
Hi James, thanks so much for your kind words!
been to Norway many times
Your video brings memories
Have flowen toEdinburgh from Bergen
Steve that was so enjoyable. My teenage years were spent in Norway and Sweden. I lived in Oslo for 2.5yrs as a teenager so I was immersed in this video, especially Holmenkollen as I used to ski and sled the slops up there (not the ski jump though). That’s a newer ski jump than when I lived there. Great that they have a viewing platform at the top. Now I yearn to revisit.
What a treat for you with the arrival at Oslo with the water tank and bagpipes playing. I’d be intrigued by a cost breakdown on your trip videos.
Once again thanks so much 👏
Thanks so much mate! I am so jealous of your Scandinavian adventures as a teen! I try to put some price info in the video descriptions these days (mainly because I always forget to cover it in the video itself) but yeah, could be more thorough :)
good report from Aberdeen to Oslo first flight with Loganair👍...i like yours reports about Scotland ...i like "Ecosse " in French lol
AHH, love Oslo, been going there for 20+ years.
fantastic video Steve nice one
Thanks Paul!
Great video. Your hotel room was an absolute bargain and spotlessly clean. What a refreshing change
So true mate, I never expected such an awesome room! Would return there in a shot!
usual quality blog. i have to giggle at my memories of abz airport from 53 years ago when i was frequent oil worker trash passing through. Back then a growing bunch or white porto cabins. No permanent structure. Biggest place was the bar with about 4 joined mobile cabins. Eatery forget it.
Sounds amazing! Such a shame all airports look and feel so alike these days
Thanks for sharing Steve. I had to miss the ski jump out when I was in Oslo.
Cheers Paul! I was even more impressed with the ride up the hill, stunning :)
you have done it again steve ...brilliant video. brian d.
Love the ski jump, Great vid Steve.
Thanks so much!
Another cracking video Steve loved the views on the flight and train looks so clean. No dirty windows to film though. The ski jump was impressive much more dramatic without sown. Hope you are both well looking forward to the next instalment
Thanks so much Robbie!
Another enjoyable & interesting video really good now well done 👍👍
Thanks Michael!
Nice one will watch later as I love all your vids especially the flying and ferry ones!! Cheers👍👍
Cheers Trevor! :)
@@steve-marsh you’re welcome mate👍
Good stuff, again. Thank you.
Thanks Janet! :)
I just love the Embraer 145. It's a gorgeously looking plane.
Has that "Exec Jet" look to it. 😎
I have been flying many times, but never met by water cannons. Lucky you. 👍
Norway is right at the top of my list of places I’d love to visit. Transport there looks so top notch! What a fab trip…can’t wait for the conclusion!
ATB
It’s expensive though
Thanks Erin! The departure from Oslo is even better than the arrival :)
Loved it Steve cheers m8.🍺🍺👍
Cheers Derek!
Another great video, love the way you take us on a journey every time. Only subscribed a few weeks ago and still watching all your older videos but man, such a great channel you have!! I truly have enjoyed every single video I have watched so far. You defo have found a new fan 😎 I you ever are in the Republic of Ireland again (North East Part) come say hello, coffee will be ready! 😁 Loads of scenic routes and places here too.
Excellent vid. Can tell you the Holmenkollen zipwire is great fun. Not really scary more exhilarating, particularly if ski jumping fan like me.
A few years back we went on a four man Olympic bobsleigh at Hunderfossen near Hafjell....now that was some ride. Just brilliant & I would recommend for a winter trip😃
Great video steve really enjoyed it myself and the wife went to cumbrae yesterday and stayed the night really busy but nice weather was great aswell
Superb! Glad to hear the weather was onside :)
Norway looks so clean and I mean squeaky clean!
It really is! Like the future! (a good future)
