sheldita - now moved to new website!

On our first day we got the ferry from Bergen to Flam, which is deep in the Sognefjord. 

There is a tradition of cheese making from sheep's milk in fjordland

One of the stops was at this old hotel where the German Kaiser used to stay

Tiny traditional fjordland village

Exciting geology - well exciting for me at least

Old wooden houses in an up-market quarter of the town

No idea what that's about..? 

We spent the afternoon climbing up the hillside to a waterfall 

That is the town of Myrdal.  That's it..! 

Despite it being late May there was still snow at Myrdal

The ferry to Flam was very fast

Bryggen is the old centre of Bergen.  There has been a market there for 800 years - dried fish was traded for corn by Hanseatic League traders

Beautiful meadows at the kayak shed

All ready and nowhere to go...

Lunch stop during kayaking.  We had tasty BBQ pork and marshmallows
