Flam Ferdaminne Flåm

... to ourselves, with table, and a massive window - so so worth it!! The views were AMAZING!! We left Bergen in reasonable weather conditions, and as the train gained altitude, it got noticeably colder outside as we started to notice snow. By the time we got to 1200 metres +, there was about a foot of snow - and this is just October! It was beautiful up there!! The train luckily stopped quite a few times, and ...

I left Bergen on the fourth to take a look at the fjords. I tried to get the norway in a nutshell tour but due to the landslide I could not. So instead I did the Sognefjord which was beautiful and which ferried us right into Flam. Fam was beautiful! It was what I expected of Norway. I have great pics. You are by the fjord and within these beautiful mountains where the clouds are so low you can walk through them. I ...

So we roll into voss with the expectation of a massive couple f days ahead... and we were not disapointed! Voss is basically a small remote town on the way to the Norwegian high lands. Not much goes on here except for extreme sports. The only pub in town closed down last year if that gives you any indication of the night life here! <br><br>But this is probably a good thing as i was glad not to be hung over when we finally got to our first stop of white water rafting! Now keep in mind ...

7/4 <br>We were happy to be leaving Oslo, all the heat and noise and expense! Our destination today is the small town of Flam at the tip of a fjord in the heart of Norway. We had planned to take the &#8220;scenic&#8221; route not knowing that the whole country is spectacular! The lakes, rivers, fjords and mountains carve the roads of Norway. We drove on small curving roads, past shear rock cliffs and towering waterfalls, alpine lakes and deep gorged fjords (huge salt water ...

Måndag gjekk turen til det vidaste. Eg byrja dagen på Voss Folkemuseum i påvente av at ho eg skulle overraska med kaka og pakke skulle bli ferdig hjå tannlegen. Eg og to tyskarar myste rundt i museet i ein times tid, før eg tok turen ut i tunet. Der helste eg på to lam som eg fekk lyst å ta med meg ...

... was a mad rush as all these tourists jumped off to get their hands on snow for the first time - myself included!!<br><br>What was it like? Well, since it was the start of summer all the snow was really just like mushy ice and not fluffy or powdery like I imagine it would be when it first falls. Still, that's good enough for someone who hasn't seen real snow before :-) it was also surprising how warm the air was even with all the snow about (as you ...

... names of all the places we went, except Jostedal Glacier which I wrote about a couple days earlier and I remember we were also in the city of Flam. We talked about going to Bergen but didn't make it all the way. <br><br>There was hours of driving and breathtaking scenery, just waterfalls, lakes, and fjords seriously everywhere I looked, and it was green! I was completely in awe the entire time. I did a lot of ...

... as the password, and a ticket will be printed immediately. No need to interact with any personnel. Multilingual Ride For an extra surcharge, I sat in the NSB Komfort Class, which included a separate compartment, access to a power outlet for my laptop, free newspapers in Norwegian, and unlimited coffee and tea. For the first 4 1/2 hours, some of the most spectacular sceneries of Norway unraveled before my eyes. In the Komfort Class wagon ...

... linking our boat with the train we took into Bergen. The bus ride turned out to be quite exciting - a very steep and winding road with breathtaking views (and drop-offs) of the valley below (see photo). We arrived in Bergen, where we will spend the next 3 days/4 nights, in time to grab a pizza before settling in for the night. Stay tuned for an update about our Bergen adventures! Dan &amp; Lea
