Simply Breathtaking!
Jun 4, 2003 that I have not only accomplished a dream of a lifetime to take a cruise through the Fjords of Norway - I steered the damn boat! Thats right, and it was incredible. Just like in the postcards. I left Bergen this morning after sleeping in my car of all places and headed to where I am now, the village of "Flam". The drive took about 4 hours and it was breathtaking, almost the entire time along a river or series of waterfalls. When I got here, there is huge tourist facility and I was able to take a shower for 20 Kronen (Kronin?) I then learned there was a four hour boat trip from here through the most beautiful part of the Fjords. I was going to come back from this trip and take a famous train to the top of a mountain and camp out overnight but have opted not to as the ships captain gave me a better alternative. I am leaving Flam now and taking the highway through the worlds longest tunnel to a couple of cities north of here, one famous for old wooden buildings and a very nice church. Then, I will camp out or sleep in my car again tonight and visit the Glacier national park tomorrow before spending the night on a Norweigan farm. I am also getting quite excited about my visit on Friday to my pen pal of sorts for the past few weeks, Asbjorn. (forgive me if that is not spelled correctly) In closing this journal entry, let me just say "Mom, I love ya..." x |
