Finse 1222

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 ...

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 “scenic” 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 ...

Got our packaged breakfasts from the hotel, but with it being a sandwich, fruit and water it was really more of a lunch, so it was a 7-11 breakfast consisting of their raisin buns (similar to Woolies "Not-Cross" buns) at Central Station before catching our train.

Today is the "Norway in a Nutshell" tour - it's basically the trip from Oslo to Bergen on public transport, and it's one of the most popular things to do as a tourist in Norway, and I ...

Desde Bergen se pueden hacer multitud de excursiones. En una de ellas te llevan en bus hasta Norheimsund, donde subes a un barco que hace la línea regular hasta Eidford, parando en todos los pueblecitos que hay por el camino. Norheimsund está en el Hardangerfjorden, uno de los fiordos más anchos como se pueden ver en las ...

So I had come to Norway to stay with my friend Lise Marie, no particular plans in mind but some ideas. We ended up going with her cousin on this incredible 3-day road trip, which is hands down one of the best experiences of my life. We grabbed some sleepings bags and pads to sleep on, some food and set off to I don't even know where. I don't know the slightest bit of Norwegian so I didn't understand nor remember ...

Oslo The sun rose very early in this country. By 3AM, the street lamps were all extinguished, and the intense sunlight gave the illusion of late morning. The long summer hours were really affecting my euphoric mood. I was now beginning to understand why some psychiatric schools of thought were advocating the use of 10,000 Lux of light therapy in the treatment of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). I rushed to the hotel lobby to check out, then ...

... a bonus is that there is free laundry. It's up in the shower room and there was nobody around, so I figured I might as well strip off everything and toss it all into the laundry, then put on my PJs. Well ... then I realized that the window in front of me looked directly across into the hostel's guest kitchen. This could've been quite embarrassing for me, because I noticed three girls eating dinner, but I don't think ...

... fjord in Norway. Flam is a very small place, mostly serving as a transfer station for tourists like us who get off their boats and then board a train to Myrdal on the main line to Oslo. The focal point is a large bar-restaurant crawling with tourist but just a couple of hundred metres away you can find yourself in an almost perfect solitude staring at crystal clear water and surrounded by forbidding ...

Finse - pronounced in Canadian phonetics as Fins-'eh. After a very pleasant train journey through the mountains of Norway, Danika, Tania and I arrived at a small village 1222 metres above sea level, located at just around the Arctic Circle. We were a bit nervous arriving as our friend Toby was supposed to be meeting us at the train station, though he'd been incommunicado for the week previous. So the plan to contact him should he not be at the station to meet us ...

There was not much in Flåm except for souvenir shops and a cafe where you can get an ol, ice cream, or somesuch. After we boarded the ship she steamed through the Aurlandsfjord back to the North Sea on our way to opur last port ...
