Gayle and I enjoyed walking around town (and surroundings) in the morning, and in the afternoon we took a tour bus for a short journey to the Norsk Natursenter Hardanger or Norwegian Nature Center. One really cool feature of the Nature Center compound is the grass roof on one of the buildings, including a small shed for the goats. That building also houses a decent gift shop and a cafe. The Center itself does a nice job of showcasing various aspects of Norwegian nature, climate, and the environment. It's also an authorised visitor's centre for Hardangervidda National Park. It was a well presented and good learning experience for both of us. And it made us wish for more time in this gorgeous part of Norway.

Pictures do not do justice to the beauty that we had experienced. Our meeting point was at Flam quay after a numerous train and bus ride. But first, upon arrival at Flam go straight to where line starts to enter the boat as line can get really long especially that there are a lot of tour groups as well. Better to get in first to get a good spot and reserve tables and chairs. We did our "Norway in a nutshell tour" on our own so we booked all our trains and bus ride separately as you can save about $200 per person doing it on your own rather than booking with a travel website. The vessel began its journey sailing through what they call idyllic Aurlandsfjord, before the boat continues through the narrow Naeroyfjord before arriving Gudvangen at the inner end. The trip takes around 2 hours one way. The Naeroyfjord (a West Norwegian Fjords) has been enlisted on the UNESCO World Heritage list along with Geirangerfjord since 2005. Food & Beverages: onboard the ship is a cafe that serves hot and cold drinks, a variety of pastries, sandwiches, hotdogs, chips as well as selection of wines & beers and a whole lot more if you get hungry. And you will get hungry as the ride was about 2 hours long. Tables and chairs are available inside the boat. We stayed half of our time inside and half outside as it was super cold in October. For cold weather be prepared to bundle up with heavy jackets, gloves, scarves and beanies because it goes a long way and it's very beautiful to stay outside of the ship just savoring the beauty of nature. The modern and very comfortable boat cruised us from Flam to Gudvangen. We were able to witness a lot of waterfalls, colorful Norwegian houses. The Norwegian nature all around was pretty impressive and again pictures nor videos do not do justice to the beauty of this place at all. This is one experience you cannot miss when in Norway.

There were large windows so one could take in the spectacular views. I encourage going outside to get unforgettable photos though it can get packed quickly. The views of the mountainsides with the waterfalls and the various villages with colorful Scandinavian houses are breathtaking. But be forwarned, the fjord winds blows over the ferry and can get pretty cold. Since this was an almost 2 hour tour, we got hungry and indulged in more Norwegian pølse (hotdog) with traditional toppings. Price was fair, not expensive and the decent coffees were self-service. The staff was helpful, courteous and well organized to assist the patrons. The multi-level seating options were comfortable and allowed passengers to either get ones with a table or relax with the group in cushioned sectionals. This was a very nice ship and the fjord was perfect plus we were blessed with great weather. This cruise from Flam to Gudvangen (or vice versa) crossing the fjord with an electric ferry departs from either harbor. Because it uses electricity, there's almost no distinctive engine sound.

Probably the best selection of all the hotels we stayed at in Norway, as it has the typical scrambled eggs bacon sausage and all that, but also a wide selection of Norwegian favorites, include smoked salmon, trout, and meats. Their smoothie was also very delicious! You also overlook the fjord from the dining area which is a big plus in the morning Though the common areas were nicely furnished and renovated, the rooms were on the older side. Still clean and functional though, but don't expect top of the line quality. One thing about the doors is that when you close them, the room door only auto locks after a set period of time. You can manually lock it by scanning the key card outside as well. Took us a bit to figure out.

The hostel/cabins book months in advance, so don't come here expecting to find a room the same day. We made that mistake and were directed to the campsite instead. I have to admit, paying 225 krone (about $30) per night to pitch our tent on a random patch of grass was a disappointment, but you'd be hard-pressed to find anything cheaper in Flam, which is a major tourist destination. This place is in a solid location too, as it is about a 5-minute walk from the bus station. As far as campsites go, this one is very basic. There are water spouts, bathrooms with coin-op showers, a small communal kitchen, a playground for the kidlets, and coin-op laundry. Food options are a mini-store at the info desk and a food truck that comes at night. There are some broken wooden picnic tables to eat your food at, some covered by the pavilion and others uncovered. Bathrooms are clean enough. If I were to return to Flam, I would book a cabin way in advance, since it seemed to be an overall much nicer experience.

Get Out of My Dreams, Get Into My Car *Beep Beep*…read more While one of the most picturesque places in Norway, the fishing village of Flåm is overrun by throngs of cruise ship tourists severely lacking both peripheral vision and manners. Escape the madness and bruises by hopping into a Twizy electric car to enjoy a hilarious, zippy ride through tunnels and serpentine roads (perfect for anyone trying to avoid Ramsey Bolton's arrows)! Dress warmly and surrender your hair to the wind as there are no side windows. To avoid the stuffed clown car look, avoid bringing large bags or purses if you can--the Twizy is smaller than a golf cart. "Get in the back seat baby, get in to my car, beep beep, yeah..." While loads of fun, this won't be the most comfortable ride. There is not much leg room for the driver, and the passenger must closely straddle the driver's seat. You may even need to origami contort and fold yourself to get in and out of the car, after opening up the doors Batmobile-style. But hey, you can always Downy Wrinkle Release the creases out afterwards! As you work your way out of Flåm, fellow tourists will point, ogle, take pictures, and ask you where they too can rent a Twizy. Smile and give your best Queen Elizabeth wave! The tourists will also tend to linger in the middle of the road like lost goats while they stare. While tempting to pretend you've also left your peripheral vision at home, it's best to be patient and enjoy your pseudo paparazzi moment. "Let me take your wheel, smooth operator, touch my bumper, Hey, let's make a deal..." The car comes with GPS programmed to guide you to one of several destinations, with a bonus pretentious GPS audio guide. Score! Your audio guide, should you select one in a language that you actually speak, will spew fun anecdotes and sarcastic jokes, tell you when to stop or turn, and give you relevant information about your destination. I think our guide had a devious side as she occasionally forgot to tell us to turn, and even once told us to go in the opposite direction that we were supposed to go. I'm pretty sure I heard her snickering in the background. The price was NOK 800 (approximately $100) for a one hour tour to Aurland, but it is closer to $200 if you choose the ride to Stegastein. Reserve your car(s) ahead of time...even though they may have many that appear to be free, they may not all be charged up. Definitely a worthwhile adventure if you get the chance!
