Nice Tromso and Norther Norway is amazing above Arctic Circle the Scenery just took a dramatic change, I dont know why but i love this small City Tromso and may be will go back once more as well in couple of years. We visited in Summer as we have holidays and driving was very easy. For Northern Lights i have plan for Lapland but still its in Bucket list.

The Atlantic Road
The Atlantic Road is known as ”The Road in the Ocean”, with seven bridges that allows the road to follow the islands in the sea like a snake.

The Atlantic Road takes you on a unique journey close to the powerful Atlantic Ocean. This Norwegian Scenic Route opened in 1989, and is considered the most beautiful road trip in the world by some, thanks to the combination of modern engineering and spectacular natural surroundings. The road was chosen as the Norwegian Construction of the Century in 2005, and takes you on a journey through moorland, fertile cultural landscape, weather beaten bays and islands.

For centuries, the ocean has been of great importance in Norway, both as a means of transport but also to industry, recreation and activities. In the communities close to the Atlantic Ocean, the fishing industry has been of great importance for generations.

The Atlantic Road is not only an improvement for transporting goods for the fishing industry, but also a magnificent journey for anyone who wants to experience the unique combination of nature and engineering, whether by car, foot or bike.

Fishing enthusiasts will find plenty of good spots, from the shore or on a boat excursion. The area is also highly interesting for watching seabirds, seals and other wildlife. If you are lucky, you can even catch a glimpse of the sea eagle, swooping in for the catch of the day. Wind-and wavesurfers will find great challenges, and diving enthustiasts have plenty to explore under the surface.

Rehan Bhai, you are right and PW was a platform who acted as a catalyst to boost our travelling adventures. Mobeen came here in Pakistan (for one day only) on last friday. We traveled from Faisalabad to Swat to attend Trekkers Meetup there.
@Porsche_Maker , sorry to use your thread as a platform to discuss past memories. and your last uploaded video of Atlantic Ocean Road was fantastic.

No worries, infact you are welcome to discuss it here.
I love PW especially very old version we had back in 2005-2008, we almost know most of members (posting ones) and it was really like a family. Now while living in Europe i don't follow PW much but just thought to share the travels i made in Europe and around.
Having plenty of stuff, just needs time to put them in Videos with some proper music or voice overs.
Asifcae was almost the ideal tracking guy for many PWs back in the days.

Day 06 : Korgen Camping to Reine Lofoten

In this part of the trip on Day 6 we are moving from Korgen Camping (near Industrial City Mo-i-Rana), we have to drive to City with Port name Bodø and we have to catch the Ferry from Bodø to Moskenes and the Ferry and our time of reaching to Port is like having only 10 Minutes Difference.
First we moved from Camping to the Mo-i-Rana and from a store name Rema 1000 and also another Store with Asian (Indian/Pakistani/Irani Products) name 1001 Natt (Kirkegata 10, 8622 Mo i Rana, Norway), we bought some dates, Halal Chicken Meat (Frozen) and some other stuff, staff was very nice and friendly from both stores.
We tried to find some Souvenir but couldn't locate a Souvenir Store so we have to take main shot of Waheed with the name plate of Mo-i-Rana (done).
After that it was only drive drive and drive as we have to catch the ferry or wait for 8 hours for the next ferry. We were prepared for both type of events, if we catch ferry we will climb the Reine Mountain in the night or if we loose the fairy we will explore the City Bodø. As for boarding a ferry normally you need to atleast 1 hour earlier on the port to regulate the boarding and other paper work. While here we were lucky the guy on the Ferry was eager to let us ride, so we paid the charges and been in line and with no time we were on Ferry. It was bit small Ferry from Bodø to Moskenes and it shakes alot as well with wind, and on the way you have major part with the Cellular Services and with 4G/LTE as well. Also for the ferry you can take a place on the Deck or inside the Cabin take a seat sleep or enjoy some snacks on the board.
I was not able to sleep while my friends Salman and Waheed were feeling bit sick with the rocking of Ferry due to windy situation.
After 4 hours of riding through Norwegian Sea we reached the Moskenes and that part of Norway is purely magical, and Camera cannot do any justice to the actual beauty of this part and it should be visited while this part also be the most expensive in whole Norway as well. We had problem to find decent Hotel/Camping with low price for 3, and mostly it was starting from 250€ in high summer season. So be prepared. But its my best place to visit in whole life.

Reinebringen Hiking in Lofoten Islands

We reach around late afternoon at Lofoten Island after a nice ferry ride (it was quite alot of turbulence on this ferry ride), my friends took good sleep but i was not able to sleep even having good atmosphere to sleep. When we reached the Lofoten Island, it really lived upto its reputation. Every bend corner bring something new. Those mountains were having beautiful view with contrasts of fisher man huts.
One thing it was very expensive to rent a camping site or hotel. Hotels for 3 were around 500€, and we have no such budget so we searched, searched and searched and found one School building which is converted to the part time Hostel kind of situation and it was still 150€. We had some nice BBQ but this time a bit less yummy as the chicken was still frozen so it was not cooked deep in one go so kind of eating in layers.
We enjoyed the Grill as it was very chilly here around 4-5 'C and we stayed till 12:00 before going to do my life first hike in the midnight. As it was still very bright and stay kind of the day all 24 hours. I asked my friends few times if they really want to do this as one of them complains about the heart beat while going uphill and other was about to stay all kind of problems so they abandoned the hike in initial few meters.
I reached and found myself not in good shape to do such things, although now its been made alot easy after Sherpas (yes real Sherpas from Nepal) Stairs made out of stones which were carried from far places via Helicopter rides. But they ran out of budget and they still have to carry some small part of this into stairs. While going up you need to catch breath at many places but also its tricky while coming back as the path is very steep so coming back you need to control the speed and in constant alot of the steps, you start to lose the control to break and legs starts to shiver. Although with couple of stops it only recovers for few minutes and again legs feel very weak.
But main thing is the view and view is amazing on the top. I wish i had more time to explore but will do this In Sha Allah in coming years.

On this 8th Travel Day we reached pretty north of Norway and also very close to our most far Destination(stay tuned for that).
This is one of the biggest city of Norway up in North of Norway again its connected for big ships and also very popular Winter Vacations Destination. Tromsø is very famous for Northern Lights of Aurora during Winter Months and if you are lucky can spot few also in month of October while in Summer Month its part of Mid Night Sun Scenario. Biggest attractions are Cable Car Fjellheisen whose online tickets are best to avoid the queue and also its cheaper to buy online and can scan the code from Mobile so Paper free Links for buying the tickets is as below:
https://fjellheisen.axess.shop/
Also center of Tromsø is very cosy and beautiful and its one of my favorite city in Norway and i would to come here and live here for unknown reasons.
Here some Museums are also very good to visit
