Took this great old train from Flåm to Myrdal and that in itself was an experience.We went up in elevation and saw the Flåm Valley although this isn’t the Valley. And this huge waterfall. They actually stopped the train and let people get out to take photos!
Then I changed trains and took the Bergen-Oslo lineIt felt like the Himalayas.The landscape was pretty barren that high upThis ‘town’ is called Finse and you can only get there by railroad
Another small townAs we kept traveling east the towns became more populated. That was my train! Made to Oslo! It’s a little warmer here too.Only got a glance at the city so far. It’s lively and beautiful.
What we looked like. Special suits were worn Incase we accidentally fell overboard. The goggles, hat and gloves were all necessary to stay warm.The story is that an American fell in love with this area, met a Norwegian woman and together bought this house on the top. They renovated it and rent out part of the house; you have to hike up which takes about 40 minutes and there’s no electricity and I’m not sure what else. It’s fully booked all summer.This is the boat house because there are no roads to get there.
This was our companion boat.This was where we stopped for cheese tasting.
KayakingSince Fjords are saltwater and this connects to the sea, there are seals and whales in these Fjords.I don’t know if you can see them but those white specks are goats.
Beauty abounds
