After a casual pack away, we hitched up the caravan and pre-warmed the car engine to start the quite steep 5km climb up to the E16 road. Within a kilometre we entered the first of more than 30 tunnels on the route, the 11km tunnel to Gudvangen at the head of Nærøyfjord. Luckily there is no gephyrophobia * here 🙂

After time to freshen up back at the campsite we headed back into the village to the Ægir Brew Pub part of the Flåmsbrygga, a cluster of buildings located here in Flåm.
We had already visited it on the previous evening and Ray had sampled their taster board of 5 home brewed beers and I had enjoyed a glass of Bøyla blonde ale. Yummy 😉
