The day we went to Bergen

We catch the 8.25 am Oslo to Bergen which crosses Norway east to west across the country, the first 2 hrs of this journey didn’t capture my imagination at all. But the next 4.30 hrs certainly did and the steady climb upwards toward the snow line certainly was impressive, this was not the Swiss alps but it truly was beautiful. When we started to descend down past the snow line there were more signs of habitation and I knew that Bergen would soon be in my sight, I wasn’t disappointed. The Zander K hotel where will stay until Monday is but 40 metres from the station , we dump the gear and hit the tourist trail. You just can’t imagine how beautiful Bergen really is and the sisters are suitably impressed, our quick tour is soon over and we retire to the hotel for pre dinner drinks. WADDA hoes into some North Sea halibut which I must say is nothing like flake but it was delicious. Sunset here tonight is 10 pm but WADDA pulling the blinds down early because tomorrow we have a 8 am departure . Back to the mountains again this time to ride on the famous Flam railway then a 4 hour hydrofoil trip on the fjords , should be good but rain is expected anyway goodbye.......
