The Flåmsbanna

Off to Flåm and the scenic Mydra to Flåm railway aboard the Flåmsbanna, one of the steepest railways in the world (apparently). This is clearly a tourist attraction as, there were hundreds for grey hairs and Japanese tourist lined up to catch the train. Well, there wasn't much to see as it was raining and completely fogged in. We did have a great view of a colourful Spaniard who loudly "oooooh'd" and "ahhhh'd" at every chance he could. I believe he has mocking the the rest of the people (a Spanish tour group) who still decided to take picture even though you couldn't see anything on account of the fog. Since it was such lovely weather (raining), we decided to hike to a waterfall (more water). When you're wet might as well keep it that way.

The second day in Flåm was awesome, the clouds broke and it was completely cloudless. We headed of for a monster hike, 6hrs, i have no idea how many kms. It was from Østerbø to Vassbygdi. The view were breathtaking, the pictures just don't do justice.

The third day, Robin and I kayaked on the Aurlandsfjord, with our German tour guide. It was just the three of us, so we were able to do more kayaking than the group normally would, and we had an opportunity to talk about pre and post german unification. She grewup in the eastern part of german. You might thing I'm nuts but I drank water from a river, or runoff steam, and I didn't get sick. To top it off the water was tasty!

Of course you can see more pictures here.
