Day 1: Oslo and its port. |
|||
|
|
|
|
Days 2-4: Bergen, Norway's second biggest city (after Oslo). |
|||
|
|
|
|
Fish market in Bergen. Don't miss it! (By the way: Salmon is here cheaper than chicken!) |
|||
|
|
Day 4: Traffic-Jam of express boats in the huge Sognefjord | ||||||
|
|
|||||||
| Day 5: Fjaerland close to the Sognefjord. A hike that was quite exhausting - which we didn't know in the beginning (see my innocent smile). |
 |
|
|
 |
|||
|
However, it was still worth going up there regarding the beautiful view and the
impressing glacier. Back down in the valley there's a stone avalance left from May 2004. |
 |
|
|
 |
|||
| Fjaerland, the "Norwegian book town". There was a book self service besides the road. What a pity that we don't understand the Norwegian language! :) |

Left and middle: Day 6: Recovering our exhausted muscles in Flåm at the end
of Aurlandsfjord (an arm of the Sognefjord). Right: Day 7: Stavechurch in Lom (Jostedalsbreen National Park) |
|
|
|
||||
|
|
|
|
Day 8: Hellesylt, the "Model railway town" (Quote by Rafael). The seagulls were always with us. I could even make them stop screaming... ;) | |||
|
|
|
|
Day 9: Excursion to Geiranger. Its fjord and lookout points are among the Top Ten of Norway's sightseeing attractions. In the middle the waterfall "The seven sisters". | |||
|
|
|
|
Breathtaking view on the Geirangerfjord through which huge ocean ships make their way. On the right the typical Norwegian grass roofs. I wonder if the Norwegians use their lawnmowers on them... | |||
