Eurojournal - 12 Sept 2006

We left for Bergen today. We took a cruise along the fjords. As if yesterday wasn’t amazing enough, this topped it all. For two hours we sailed through perfect water surrounded by huge rocky land masses. Looking off into the distance we saw glaciers larger than life. It was amazing. We then sailed right past these larger than life land masses with waterfalls. I have never seen such a place and felt so small in the midst of this giant beauty. I took many pictures and videos but they will never capture the breadth of it. We finished the ferry ride and took a bus to Voss.

We figured that was the end of such and adventure. The bus ride was also amazing. We passed more fjords, mountains and gorges. We drove up a very steep windy road up the mountain to look down and a huge drop. We saw more waterfalls. After the bus we took a train to Bergen. The views again… amazing. Wow. What an incredible place this is. This has to be the most beautiful place in the world. On the train was a play area for the children. We were in the family car without own little enclosed room with a lot of room. We walked over and there was a climbing area with a tube to crawl through and a pretend kitchen.

We arrived in Bergen, very quaint filled with cobblestone streets and pastel like buildings. The population is about 200,000 but it did not feel like it. We found our hostel on one of those cute streets. We took an old elevator to the floor and checked in. The floors were wooded and the rooms were very nice. We walked around Bergen and took a funicular to the top of one of the hills. The kids loved that.
