Day nine - Flam
Up early for the 8:11 train from Oslo to Myrdal....the train climbs as the trip goes on...at 1200 metres above sea level (Finse), there is snow on the ground, we stop at a ski station..skiers get on and off....very desolate terrain...slowly we redescend to Myrdal (822 m above sea level). I then took the Flam railway down to Flam....beautiful views but unfortunately, the waterfalls were all very ...

There is no port in Ulvik able to handle a ship of our size, for that matter there really isn't even a port to say, but what a scenic spot to anchor! We are at the top of one of the fjords off of the Hardanger Fjord and it ...
Rolling on the rallarvegen
... waterfalls, deep ravines and mountain meadows. There was fresh snow on the mountains last night (despite it being dry down where we were) and a definite chill in the air when we disembarked at the top.
Then the fun really started – riding down the Rallarvegen, otherwise known as the navvies road (although I think rallarvegen may mean horse poo in Norwegian, given how much of it was on the trail!) The first couple of kms ...
