The first bank holiday in May we decided to go to Norway (wasn't a hard decision it was the cheapest flight and we hadn't been there yet). We flew into Oslo early on Saturday morning, and spent the afternoon exploring Oslo.
Whilst Oslo was cool and very expensive, there wasn't a whole heap to see. The next day we jumped on our train and headed up to Norways's highest point. The train ride was awesome, everything was white and the higher we got the colder it got. At the highest point (Finse) we were lucky enough to be greeted by Darth Vader and Snowtrooper and Stormtroops from the 501st Legion (can you tell I got that from Josche :-)), Josche was very excited and took several photos and a video which you can see below. Later we found out that it was the place where they flimed planet hoff in Star Wars.
Shortly after we arrived in Mydral where we got on a gorgeous little train that took us through and down the mountains to a beautiful little village called Flam, where we had a lunch and a beer in amongst the Fjords .
We then jumped on a boat in Flam and ferried through Fjords to Gudvangen, the boat ride was absolutely stunning I have never seen anything like the scenery we saw before in my life! The photos definately don't do it justice! There were beautiful little villages along the way, the only way to get to them was via boat!
From Gudvagen we jumped on a bus and set off to Voss where we jumped on a train to Bergen.
We arrived in Bergen at about 9.30pm the sun was still high in the sky :-)..... We made our way to our accommodation which was called "City Box", it was the cheapest accommodation in town, no reception it was all electronic and basically you get a little white room with a bed. We were exhausted so that was all we needed. We checked in and then went to find some dinner, and I must say it was the most expensive chinese I have ever had!
The next day was filled with exploring Bergen, Bergen is a beautiful little fishing town with fresh fish markets everyday on the Jetty, so fish was definately in store for lunch!! Fresh fish and beer can't get any better than that!
Also at the markets they sell all there furs and other fresh seafood, I have never seen Crabs so big!!
Norway was absolutely stunning, the people where awesome and extremely helpful and friendly but it was very very expensive.
