Norway has a couple of interesting tunnels to ad to your BTDT (Been There, Done That) list. One is in Drammen (40 km SW of Oslo) and is called Spiraltoppen. It goes up to a lookout point by going around in a spiral 5 or 6 times inside the hill. The other is the longest tunnel in the world, 24.5 km. It is NE of Flåm, which has a nice clean and neat campground; the only one in town. There is also a nice brewpub in town that brews their own  and ale.
I also recommend the ferry from Hellesylt to Geiranger. It is a 22 km ferry ride. The captain does a tour boat talk as he goes up the fjord. And it's cheaper than taking a tour boat. From Geiranger go either direction out of town. East leads to a great viewpoint and over the mountains. North leads to an even better viewpoint ... (The ferry comes from the right and Geiranger is to the left by the cruise ships)
and then on to the Trollstigen, which is a piece of road that switchbacks down the frontwall of a glacial valley with several waterfalls next to the road.
The route from the BTDT tunnels to the Trollstigen has dozens more tunnels and lots of ferry rides. All in all a very interesting country.
