Flåm and boat back to Bergen - Thursday

I took a short fjord cruise in the morning to get a better view of the area around Flåm and the fjord.

This lookout point is way up a mountain from the town of Aurland. I thought the bus driver was going to kill us on the winding one-lane road up the side of the cliff. He was sure he had the right of way up and down and the oncoming traffic could just back up or he would push them out of the way.


Inside Vangen Kyrkje, a church built in 1202 in the town of Aurland. It amazes me that it is still here and used 800 years later.

I boarded an expressboat from Flåm to Bergen at 3pm. The trip took about 5 hours and went the entire length of the Sognefjord (where Flåm is located) and then out into the ocean.


The expressboats are really nice. They have full service concessions and a great viewing deck on the roof.

I got into Bergen and it was raining - again. Stayed just long enough to sleep and catch a boat to Stavenger this morning (Friday). It was a 4 1/2 hour trip. The weather here is great. No rain or clouds.
