Scenic Norway

We spent 3 nights in Bergen at a fabulous hotel with that included an amazing breakfast buffet and was walking distance to all the sites, and then spent a day doing our own version of 'Norway in a Nutshell'.  The Norway in a Nutshell is a train, bus, ferry, scenic train and faster train to Oslo which is absolutely gorgeous!  Because I did it myself and was nervous about connections ended up having a few hours in between public transportation which did make it an all day (first train left Bergen at 7:57 AM, and last train arrived in Oslo at 10:35 pm) event!  The girls were troopers and Morgan after seeing the scenery became motivated to be a photographer.

I did take 919 photos this summer, and proportionally the last few days in Norway had the most!!!

The one museum I went into - Bryggen is a UNESCO site that was important as a trading port in the 14th-16th century

In Norway, kids get into museums free.  After paying to go in one, the kids said they scope out the rest to see if it was worth money for me to pay.  In this one they took a lot of photos to show me, including a few where they asked other tourists to take their picture together.  

Trolls are ugly mischievous hill dwelling creatures and legend in Norway.  If you've ever seen the movie Trolls, the Bergens are named for this city.  Also the Frozen Movie city of Arandelle scenery is a direct replica of the harbor in Bergen.   

We lucked out with weather the first day in Bergen, but the 2nd was rainy.  We spent the day in an indoor water park with lots of slides.  The girls loved it!  

Waiting for the ferry.  Bought the girls cute sweatshirts and they had wifi - no was complaining!
