'''...and counter note #3''' (from Paulgato - August 2010...) I just hitched a short distance near Oslo - from Rygge airport to the Swedish border on the E18 - and I got four lifts - all from Norwegians - and I found them all friendly and helpful. I'm a guy, I was hitching with a girl, and we both had huge rucksacks, which would have put off some drivers I'm sure. We had one long wait of an hour and a half when we were dropped off at a place where drivers couldn't easily stop, but we still beat the bus by a couple of hours.
'''Counter note #4'' (from teeshirt - June 2012). I have been hitchhiking around Norway for the past few weeks and I have to say I am impressed about how easy it is. I have hitched with around 25 people so far in Norway. Around 20 of them were Norwegians. Oslo - Bergen in ten hours. In the countryside there are fewer cars but people are friendlier and not as much in a hurry. I hitched for five days around Sognefjord with another guy and a dog (!) and we got picked up within 20-30 minutes. Never by trucks and never by vans. Many tourists in vans - they do not stop. Try to get a ride before a ferry rather than after it when everyone is impatient to get out of it.
