    Damn, i was like " how slow are you travelling in norway? New zealand guy also posted ca 2500 km and it just took him 29 hours. How can he do it in less than a day when you need almost two days"

      Norway is basically just mountains and fjords so the roads are seldom straight.

      This is the landscape you will be mostly driving through

      And the further north you get the worse the road conditions will be, not to mention parts of the “highway” up there goes through the towns with lower speed limit. People up north likes to joke about the infrastructure being bad up there just to slow down Russia if they ever decide to invade.

      On the plus side, it’s a beautiful road trip to make. Much more enjoyable than driving down south near the capital where it’s less mountainous but better highway.

      I’d also like to point out that 29 hours is 1 day and 5 hours, so not that far off from the fastest route if you go through Sweden.
