On the run in Stavanger
Yesterday was a busy day of trains, trains, boats, buses, and another train. We left Oslo at a little after 6am and began our Norway in a Nutshell tour. We saw a glacier up close, many many waterfalls, and an amazing boat trip in a fjord. Beautiful.
We got to Bergen and found that we had been bounced from our hotel room. The good news was that they booked in a slightly nicer place across 1 block away for the night. The bad news was that there were no more rooms available anywhere in Bergen for the next night. None. Notta. Don't even ask at the TI office...
So, after doing the quick quick tour of Bergen with a walking tour and a fanicular ride (wonderful city, too bad it rained the whole time) we took an express ferry down to Stavanger, Norway. Nice trip. We had a beautiful sunset just as we were pulling in and now were off to explore the city.
Tomorrow, it's another train ride to Kristianstand where we will catch a ferry on to Denmark.
