"What are we doing?" ... "We're going to have some beer" ... YES!!!

At 2:19, regarding the great Pepperkake conundrum, which you pointed out: a Norwegian Pepperkake is named so because of the black pepper in it, even if there are about equal measures of ginger and black pepper. The recipe may vary, but a traditional Norwegian Pepperkake recipe typically (they vary slightly, so I just picked one) has these spices: 2 teaspoons (ts) ground black pepper 2 ts ground ginger 2 ts ground cinnamon 0.5 ts ground cloves There are also recipes in Norway with ginger and no black pepper, but those recipes are often called "Ingefærkjeks" (Ginger bisquits), "Ingefærkake" or "Engelsk ingefærkake" (English ginger bread), and are typically shaped as small, round bisquits. Because of the variation in ingredients, presentation and taste, this may explain why we have chosen to use a different name for each.

Thank you so much for sharing! We will have to make these at home.

It is spectacular that Poppy gets to see so much of our world at such a young age. I love that you bring her along on many of your adventures. Thanks for sharing her with us. She is such a joy. Love the video, what a wonderful time. And I love you choose to share this as Christmas in July.

Thanks so much. We love being able to show Poppy our amazing country and world.

You three are an awesome travel company! It is delightful to see my "rugged and weathered" land through your happy-go-lucky minds and eyes.

Loved this video so much--enjoyed the spectacular scenery--the homes, church, the Christmas market, the ship. Everything was so colorful. You guys did a great job with narrating and filming. I can't wait to see the Arctic Circle!

@@lindsayslivealittle we will be watching. Do you have any ideas for getting deals from them? I would ham it up if I went on one of those. Growing up on Long Island we never did cruises for whatever reason but now my wife and I love cruising.

Would suggest signing up for their email updates as that may help. The main difference here is with this being a ferry, the costs are relatively flat and just change during seasonal times.

Pretty cool for also being a ferry. Food looks amazing. Having a ship all to myself is a fantasy of mine. haha. I'm guessing no casino..??

Haha good spot! This was actually filmed a week after the MSC trip! So same injury. We went a little out of order because I wanted to get Explora (new line) out quick! And we thought Christmas in July would be fun!

6:01 Why not take the train? 14:47 The "e" in the "nes" part of "Kirkenes" sounds a bit different from what you pronounced. Ask someone local to pronounce it. ;-) 24:07 That railway bridge is almost unique. There's just two of that design in the whole world, one in Trondheim.

We didn’t take the train because we were still jet lagged and wanted to get there as fast and easy as possible. (Lots of luggage) Thanks for letting me know I tried looking it up but I am not great at pronouncing Norwegian words I tried my best with my American accent! Thanks for watching!

​@@lindsayslivealittle Considering sleeper trains. Saves you on hotel expenses, gets you where you want to go, gives you a room with privacy for the family, and usually is quite comfortable. I'll have to admit that I haven't tried it out after the privatization... But give it a try sometime in Europe. Trains are usually a relaxing experience in Europe.

This is true! Now that I think about it more. We actually did look into the train. And at the time the price was double (if not more) than a flight for 3, and you had to transfer and it was 15-16 hours! At that point we would have probably just taken the free bus that was offered. For this trip a flight made more sense for our family!
