Shelley, Kristine, and I set off from Bergen in our rental car after a sumptuous breakfast (see previous post).
We are on the E16 from Bergen to Stegastein Viewpoint and then back down to stay overnight in Flåm. I’m typing now in the car as Shelley is driving. We’ve driven through tunnels and beside towering mountains. Fast moving streams filled with fresh water cascade over the many levels of rocks - reminds me of British Columbia and some of the roadways up Between Hope and Cache Creek.
The scenery is stunning and the roads are very well maintained. The average speed is 70 km/h and sometimes 80 km/h. It’s slower when you’re going through little towns or coming up on one of the many traffic circles used here for traffic.
Arriving in Flåm we had to sort out our parking and it was tricky finding out not only where to park, but also how to get into and up to our apartment. It was finally discovered that we had to go through the gift shop and see the owners there to get our key and instructions.
The apartment was excellent. Couple of bedrooms and kitchen, balconies (plural)
that overlooked the main area of Flåm where all the action was.
We enjoyed our Flåm Railway journey, and then returned to have supper at the Ægir pub.
After eating, a nice pipe was enjoyed on the balcony, and then it was time for bed and some rest.
