vacation Sunday (June 14) part 3: boat

We got on the boat next!  It was going from Gudvangen to Flam.  So many waterfalls!!  There are a ton of waterfall pictures and I had to stop myself from adding more.

Since we were near the end getting on, it was pretty crowded inside and we decided to go outside for a bit.  It was cool.  I probably should have brought a sweatshirt instead of a cardigan, but didn't think about it.  It was fine (ish) while we were outside and then it was nice inside when we finally went in.

Someone was feeding a seagull behind us and our family all grumbled about it.  Don't feed the wildlife.  Tons of people were taking a video though, so it encouraged the guy even more.

While not shown in this picture, there were a few roads and cars, a small village or two, some sheep, etc.  They were always near the bottom of the fjord because it got steep rather quickly.

Joshua was a bit cold too, so we snuggled a bit.  Oh!  Look!  A village with a waterfall.

We made a stop at Lægdafossen.  It was obviously a popular tourist destination, as there was a short line of boats waiting for their turn to back up and get close to the falls.

At this stop I managed to get good photos of the waterfall and good photos of people, but not together.

Soon after this we hit our highest point in the trip with 60.99 deg north latitude, at Beitelen where three fjords meet.  Isaac and I went inside after this.  The rest of the family had found a place to sit, and there was mostly enough room for us too.  I think Isaac found a place a few rows away, but he was reading his book.

While it was nice and refreshing to be outside, it was nice and warm inside.  Also, they had great tour information on the monitors!

Flam was our destination.  We had originally thought about driving and or doing the tour from Bergen to Oslo, but Ben did some reading and said Flam was mostly a tourist trap.  From the little bit that we saw, and it was just a little bit, it seemed accurate.  While I'm sure different plans would have been great, I'm glad we made a home base in Bergen.

I have no doubt Joshua stood behind the pole on purpose. :(

Next up, train back home!
