Skjervsfossen waterfall on Hardanger Scenic Route

Wednesday 29th August 2018

On our long trip back from Bergen on our mission of mercy to get replacement parts for the caravan we decided to break up the last part of the journey by swinging by the Skjervsfossen waterfall that was mentioned on the Hardanger National Tourist Scenic Route. We seem to be turning into waterfall enthusiasts!

Despite the terrible weather we were encountering, we knew we would not be coming past this area again, as we will be heading south. Continue reading Skjervsfossen waterfall on Hardanger Scenic Route

Bergen

Monday 27th August 2018

One of the reasons for choosing our campsite was its location on the local bus route into Bergen.

If you intend to spend a few days exploring the city, then a Bergen Card would definitely be worth purchasing. At NOK 260 for a 24 hour adult card, NOK 340 for 48 hour card or NOK 410 for 72 hours it entitles you to free travel on buses in Bergen and the region, as well as the light railway. Plus some free or discounted admission to museums, attractions, tours or cultural events. Continue reading Bergen

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 😉

Flåm Mountain Railway

Saturday 25th August 2018

Flåm is a relatively small village nestled in the corner of the Aurlandsfjord, a branch of the world’s longest fjords, Sognefjord, which has very few inhabitants but certainly comes alive when the large cruise ships and tourist buses turn up!

Ray had booked us tickets for a trip on the  on Flåm Mountain Railway for Friday night so we were really looking forward to that. Continue reading Flåm Mountain Railway
