We all slept like logs in lovely comfy beds. Chris and I made an early walk and visit to the local supermarket to prepare for a scrumptious breakfast. No problems with circuit breakers today. One problem, Norwegians are not into toasters and don’t seem to bother with them. Chris raised her family on toast so they have come out right. Had to use the oven’s grill to achieve the same result. After checking out we decided to stay away from the museums, as we are museumed out. Decided to go on the Flåm Funicular, which goes up Mt Floyen, one of seven mountains in Bergen.The Funicular travels to the top of the mountain, which is 320m above sea level. There is a restaurant at the top and the usual tourist stuff. Our next port of call was a visit via cable car to the summit of Bergen’s tallest mountain Mt Ulriken 643m. We got there by double decker bus then joined the queues, as there were only 2 cable cars(One called Bruce & the other Perle). After absorbing the spectacular views and an ice cream it was down the mountain to a Fish and chip lunch at the fish market before embarking on the long trip to Gol. More spectacular scenery and heaps of tunnels to travel through, The longest one 25km long, Not much shorter than the tunnel under the English Channel but is recognized as the longest vehicular road tunnel in the world. There were many that were km long. We guess we have passed through about 100 tunnels in the last few days. After much driving we get to Gol which has fond memories for Chris. Staying at a very popular hotel then back to Oslo to do the washing then we may go some where else. Watch this space.
