From Bergen to Flam

Train, bus, ferry. That was the progression of our day, getting from Bergen to Flam with three modes of transportation. Along fjords and rivers, past farms on mountainsides and through small towns, with views of waterfalls and mountains. These were our views, the quintessential Norwegian scenes of immense beauty. There are no words to describe the experience fully.

Arriving in Flam, we already had purchased tickets to ride up the mountain to the Stegestein Viewpoint. The drive itself was interesting -- narrow roads, steep dropoffs, backing up when meeting cars. But the driver was careful and the view from above the fjord was worth it.
