Magnificent Norway

---

Sorry for the delay on Norway info everyone. Everything went so quickly. We arrived in Oslo and were shuttled to our hotel by an "uncle-like" man who dropped us off and picked us up wherever we were booked. So glad because everything is so different there.

Spent the afternoon/evening with Arne's cousin Jonn Mero begin_of_the_skype_highlighting     end_of_the_skype_highlighting. They've be "skypping" each other for a while now and we were finally able to meet in person. Had a great time catching up and laughing with Jonn before he had to leave. We should have gone straight to bed though because we were picked up the next morning at 7:30 am to go to the train station. This turned out to be our busiest and longest day. We took a train from Oslo to Myrdal / transferred to another train to take us to Flam (on the edge of Norway's largest fjord). It's a decension of over 1000 metres I think.

The trip is beautiful. Things aren't bigger only in Texas. The landscape is majestic. Where Paris was incredible with the structures, Norway is truly majestic. We were on the Flam train (a bit like cattle on this one), but getting to know our neighbours. In one of the pictures, you can see we stopped at the waterfall - WOW.

After the train pulled into Flam, the highlight of our day: a cruise around Sognefjord. We were at 32 knots. Don't know that in miles or km but it was fast. The ship pulled into Bergen, our destination. We met the captain and made our way to the hotel for the night. By the way-trip started in Oslo at 8 am and got into Bergen at 9:30 pm!
