Norway in a nutshell




If there is one day that can describe regal Norway it was today. From Voss we took a local bus down a steep hill deep into a valley and the small community of Gudvangen. A tiny skinny road which was unbelievably formerly a two way road for buses. At Gudvangen we joined up with tourists (we are travellers as you know) for a couple of fantastic hours sailing along Sognefjord fjord to Flam. This is Norway’s deepest and longest fjord and the weather for us is just fantastic. We fill our cameras memories with unforgettable images as we sail along.

After a short break and a bite to eat at Flam we follow even more tourists to clamber aboard the train to climb from 2 metres to 866 metres at Myrdal on a stunningly constructed rail line which winds its way up and out of the deep valley. We take another local train for the last hour of this spectacular day back to our hotel in Voss.
