Well today could be called Norway train day for us. We caught the train for Bergen that left at 0630 from the Oslo station. For the first 5 hours we went through some magnificent portions of the country, including magnificent forests and mountains that still had plenty of snow-enough for some on the train to start a snowball fight during a stop! We then got off at myrdal and hopped on the Flam train that descends into a valley with some of the most amazing scenery that you could ever imagine-high mountains with waterfalls everywhere-small pastoral towns straight out of a postcard-really awesome! We then reboarded our train to Bergen where we are staying at the Clarion hotel down by the waterfront. The Norwegian trains are very clean and they run exactly on time! The trains we took are surely some of the best in the world for scenery. We are all pretty beat from the first four days of the trip and are looking forward to a good nights rest. Tomorrow we board the ship in the late afternoon but we will get to see some of Bergen beforehand. Good night to all!
