Worlds longest tv programme

[Speicher]

The MS Nordnorge has just left Ålesund, which is often called Norway's most beautiful city. Heading east and inland towards, i believe, Geiranger. This is, of course, the village at the head of the UNESCO world heritage site, Geirangerfjord.

yes that works

What does Pa brue mean?

I got a small video of someone sending bales of straw down a mountainside on a mini cable way. That I presume is to obscure the view of the calm sea?

How long is this longest tv programme?

Now there is a woman on a cliff face, wearing an orange skirt. She is throwing sheep into the lake fjord below. Someone in a boat is catching the goats and putting them in a boat.

That cutaway, Speicher, was due to the boat being in a 'satellite shadow'.

Hurray. Glad it works.

Bru or brue means bridge.

It's 134 hours long. It started yesterday so you've missed some. Maybe they'll release a dvd?! Fingers crossed..

På brua = On the bridge

Coming into the quay at Molde. Nice of the small boats to escort the ship in. And a large welcome. It looks all of Molde are at the quayside, or looking out of their windows.

Ole Gunnar Solskjær manages the local football team. And they are doing quite well after a run of draws at the start of the season.

oooo... There's the sister-ship MS Nordlys going in the opposite direction.

 

[Speicher]

Heading almost due north now, into a lovely sunset.

 

[longers]

Will they show the view from the other side of the boat?

Soon please before it gets too dark.

 

[longers]

It needs more dolphins.

 

[longers]

Wow!

 

[Speicher]

Yes, Wow indeed, I have always wanted to do this voyage, and I am enjoying it ever so.

It will probably only be dark for a few hours.

Gorgeous colours in the sky, and heading due north.

The townspeople of Bodø are all on the dockside to welcome the ship... lovely sunny day!

It's lovely to see all the Norwegian flags everywhere.

Been watching this for about 15 mins at a time!

The light and scenery in the summer months, especially above the Arctic circle is truly spectaular.

My best mate and his girlfriend will be arriving here soon and we might have a short journey up the coast for 2-3 days (hop on, hop off kind of thing).

Oner day I'd like to do the whole trip in both directions.
