Drove from Bergen to Flam - today's tunnel took the record of 11km long! In one of the tunnels there was an accident and a car was on fire, so we turned around for a slight detour. Man they have some super skinny roads here, so between the ... Read more >

Made sure we woke early to be on top deck when coming in to Oslo. Our moving hotel took about 15 hours but it was smooth sailing and at times we forgot we were actually on a boat. Thought we might see orcas or whales. We unfortunately didn't but we did ... Read more >
