Waterfalls almost coming from clouds.

When we first started planing to go to Norway, on of the major things we'd hope to see was waterfalls coming out of the cloud. As it turned out, we saw plenty of waterfalls but none coming from the clouds which turned out to be a good thing because the weather was as close to perfect as possible. This was the cherry on top of one of the best trips I've taken since being in Europe.




First off, chips on a chicken sandwich, bravo Norway, bravo.



Oslo S. The train station where we began and ended our circle route trip. I don't have that many pictures of Oslo because I had a final in the morning before I left and didn't get in till about 10pm.



One of the few picture I took was the one and only Jack Bower Pinball machine. Saving the world one silver ball at a time.



On day two of our trip we started off with the most scenic train ride in Europe. It was hard to get some good shots as we were on a train with no observation car but we saw some beautiful views. The train tracks tunnel through mountains and it was pretty crazy to go into a tunnel viewing a nice spring day and come out in a blizzard.



We did stop at a couple towns along the way. But we pasted some houses in the middle of the wilderness with no road leading to or from the house and the next sign of civilization being miles away. Makes you wonder how often the inhabitants left home.



Our train ended in Bergen, the second largest city in Norway next to Oslo. Since it was a holiday, there was no staff at our hostel. We had to swipe in with our credit card and leave the keys in a box when we left.



Here is me with the three guys I traveled with. Bergen is a very hilly city that reminds me of Pittsburgh. We took a cable car up to the top of a hill over looking the city. Here's some pics of beautiful Bergen.







If you haven't heard of the game Monopoly Deal, I suggest you look into it pronto. We discovered the game at the local Tessco(grocery store) one night when we had nothing to do and got addicted to it. This ledge is one of the less extreme places we played on the trip.



These trolls where all over Norway. This guy was a popular one as we saw him back in Oslo as well. According to legend, they live in the mountains and only come out at night.



Here is the hill that we scaled via cable car. I'll continue my trip in the next blog with our fjord cruise.
