My friend and I had a wonderful time in Norway.
From the accommodations to transportation, everything was well planned and went smoothly. We especially appreciated the opportunities to walk around neighborhoods as well hike various trails. Each excursion was well worth the time; we never felt rushed.

We were glad to be on the quieter side of Flam, away from the cruise ships. Unfortunately there was a large yacht at the dock in front of the hotel for our entire stay.

Our original room had absolutely no view, so we asked if there was a room available with a view. The staff kindly changed our room to the front of the hotel and we then had a delightful view of Bergen! It was lovely to see all of the activities below.

Since we were not interested in a city experience, an afternoon was long enough for us to see the sights.

Lovely ride on the ferry and a beautiful walk to the waterfall. That’s about all we had time for.
