Day 1: We arrived in Oslo and the drive in from the airport was unbelievable. So vastly different from Iceland. There were trees and grass and the drive into town was more beautiful than most of the drive around Iceland. (And airport to Oslo isn’t anything exquisite, believe me!)
We walked around Oslo in the afternoon. There was nothing in particular that gained our interest so wandered around and saw some famous buildings. We saw the palace, parliament, and Nobel Peace Prize center.

While we were eating dinner that night a motorcade drove past, but we have no idea who it was. Still kind of cool though!
Day 2: We got up early and took a train from Oslo to Mydral. It was about 5 hours by train and relatively scenic. We sat across from a Canadian couple and had a nice conversation. The train also had a little cafe on board so we could get food and drinks.

Once we arrived in Mydral we transferred to another train- this one going to Flam.

Flam was a cute little town and we hopped off here for an excursion. We took a minibus to the Stegastein viewpoint which was super lovely!

We made it back to Flam just in time to catch a cruise from Flam to Gudvangen. (Also super lovely!)

It was a little cloudy, but cloudy Norway is still beautiful. I would also say cloudy Norway is more beautiful than cloudy Iceland.
More to come …
