ARRIVED SAFELY IN BERGEN NORWAY

We used our Scandanavian Eurail Pass to travel today from Oslo, Norway to Bergen. The train was very comfortable and somehow we ended up with a first class Eurail ticket, when we meant to buy second class. So, at least we were comfortable.

We had planned to stop and take another train up to Flam, which is said to be a very beautiful, if steep, train ride. But 20 minutes before arriving, they announced that an avalanche had happened and that the train had been canceled to Flam. So we just stayed on the Bergen train.

This area is beautiful and reminds us a lot of Southeast Alaska, very rainy and green.
