We caught the 8:11 am train from Oslo to Myrdal. It was scenic! | | It was still snow-covered in Finse, 4000 feet above sea level and the highest rail station in Norway. |
| | |
We made it to Myrdal at 12:53 pm. | | We caught the train to Flam at 1:27 pm. The train travels 20 km from Myrdal's 2800 feet above sea level to Flam's 6 feet above sea level! |
| | |
On the Flam line, there is a stop at the Kjosfossen Waterfall. | | Seeing the waterfall was the highlight of the entire "Norway in a Nutshell" trip. |
| | |
We made it to Flam! | | At 3:10 pm, we took the ferry from Flam to Gudvangen. |
|
|
|
We made it on the ferry! | | It was cold and wet (it rained) on the ferry, but there were a few enjoyable minutes of scenery. |
|
|
|
A nice view of the fjord. | | After the ferry ride, we boarded a bus in Gudvangen. The bus ride was a nail-biter and not enjoyable. |
|
|
|
We stopped at the Stalheim Hotel for a scenic view. | | The view of the valley from the hotel was very pretty! |
| | |
We re-boarded the bus and travelled to Voss, then changed to the train to continue to Bergen. We got to Bergen just after 8:30 pm. |
