Norway - Bergen to Flam

On July 4Th, we got up early and took the tube (underground) to Liverpool rail station and caught the 7:50AM train to Stansted Airport . This is a regional airport about 45 minutes by train north of London. We flew on Norwegian Air to Bergen, Norway. After 1.5hr flight, we picked up our rental car and started our 2.5 hr drive to Flam. Flam is called the "nutshell" of the Norwegian Fjord area.

After leaving the airport, we stopped by a shopping center to stock up on some groceries for our lunches. We were really impressed when we entered the grocery store when we noticed people using a recycle machine to return cans, bottles, and some plastic bags. Also the store used an innovative idea of displaying the prices for items on a digital display device under the items.

As we drove towards Flam we drove by the fjord next to Bergen and several lakes. The water was so flat and reflective, we had to stop and take some photos. We also drove through several long tunnels (11km). Everywhere you look you could see a waterfall. When we drove around the corner in the road, both of us at the same time said, "look at that!!!". It was the largest and closest waterfall we had seen.

When we arrived in Flam we could not believe the view of the Fjord. It was absolutely beautiful.

After we checked in to our hotel, we walked around the area and enjoyed the views. It was still light out when we went to bed at almost 11PM. It also started to get light about 2AM.
