Ellingson featured on Rick Steves Monday Night TravelNorway is a place of unforgettable natural beauty — and the country's greatest claims to scenic fame are its deep, lush fjords. While Norway's fjords can be admired by car and ferry, tonight we get right down on the water with the Paddle Pilgrim himself, Dave Ellingson. Through stunning footage from his film "Coming Home," we join Dave and his crew of kayakers as they paddle Norway's Sognefjord and Hardangerfjord. These are Dave's ancestral fjords, and as we paddle, he shares how travel teaches us that home encompasses place, people, and spirit.
