Day three in Norway was reserved for a full day train and boat tour of the mountains and fjords near Bergen.

The trip started much before sunrise and started with a train ride from Bergen to the ski town of Voss. The mountains were large and looming when they peaked out from behind clouds and tunnels.

It kind of sucked because people were being very greedy about window seats, so the three of us ended up sitting on adjacent aisle seats in between a family of four who had laid claim to all four window seats in the section. Pretty rude. I returned the rudeness by shoving my phone in their faces to take pictures.

We arrived in Voss, still cloaked in darkness, and boarded a bus to Gudvangen.

I’m tellin’ you, man. This bus ride was something else. The sun crept up slowly as we crept higher into the mountains and the cold. Soon everything was cloaked in snow, and it was like we’d been transported to a winter wonderland fit for fairy tales.

The five of us had the whole back row of the bus to ourselves, so it was our turn to be greedy and take advantage of our all-angles window views.

When we arrived in Gudvangen, we took the liberty of playing and exploring outside.

We spied on this little hotel that we will likely return to someday. All the beds were covered in furs.

Cannot emphasize enough how gorgeous this place was.

Jonathan played the most… Hahaha.

And then we headed inside for some foods before our boat arrived.

But mostly, we did it for the cool viking chairs.

And then it was on to the most gorgeous boat ride of my entire life…

But that will come in the next post because all these beautiful pictures are taking up too much space in this blog post! WordPress actually cannot handle the beauty. Stay tuned, y’all.
