Finally in the Fjords

I lost count of the number of hours involved in our travels getting here! We started the night of the 7th with an overnight from Berlin to Copenhagen which went smoothly. But there were no more trains going from Copenhagen on the 7th to Oslo. We considered planes, ferries, etc. but nothing was going to work. So, we sucked it up and took an overnight bus to Oslo with plans to take a train from Oslo to Bergen. The bus worked out okay, but it was long and uncomfortable. We were ready to be there, that's for sure. Then we about curled up and starting crying in Oslo when we learned that all trains to Bergen were booked as well. We had to take an 11 hour bus ride that wound around countless roundabouts and switchbacks. We were sure glad to arrive. Neither were sure how much more of the switchbacks our weary stomachs could handle.

At any rate, we've arrived and we're very glad to be here. Although the bus ride was long, it was very scenic. Norway is such a beautiful country. And we were happy to see Paul and Helena.
