When we got up and around in Flam on Tuesday, June 12th, the fjord was still and there were some nice reflections off the water. We had breakfast at the hotel and then made our way a few hundred yards to the dock to take the public ferry down the fjord, and up another fjord that's been named as a World Heritage Site. We got off the ferry at Gudvangen and then took a "Norway in a Nutshell" bus to Voss where we boarded the train to Bergen.
On the ferry we were reminded of our time on the South Island of New Zealand when we visited Milford Sound -- mostly because of all of the spectacular waterfalls coming off almost vertical canyons, fed by melting snow thousands of feet higher. The waterfalls were too numerous to count, and much too numerous to photograph. However, with the fine weather (occasional sun through the clouds) we enjoyed the trip.
After arriving in Bergen we took a hit-and-miss walk with our luggage to the hotel where we'd booked 3 nights. After getting settled we had dinner down on the waterfront at one of the "stalls" that advertised fish-and-chips and salmon, salad and chips. Again, we felt fortunate about the weather! - rw
