So today was our last day in the storybook land. We got up packed our belongings and headed to train area. We have to take the 11:05 Flåm Railway and catch the Bergen railway in Myrdal. I had already purchased our train ticket to Bergen so we needed to make sure we got there. When we got to the train station we first went to go buy our Flåm ticket since those cannot be purchased ahead of time and when we approached the counter I saw on the board that a couple were cancelled. I just maybe thought there was not enough people but, when we told the gentleman we needed to purchase and 11:05 ticket he said it had been cancelled. Apparently there was a rockslide on the mountain and they had crews up there working on it and was not sure when the next train would take off. So small panic moment as I already purchased our other tickets and there is no way to get to Myrdal other than train or walking. Ya lets lug our suitcase up the mountain in the rain...NOT So, we just waited for another announcement since he was not sure yet if the 11:05 would come. Well that got cancelled. We went and spoke to the gentleman again and he explained they would be bussing people to Voss and we can then get on the train there to Bergen. So, we waited for the time to load the bus and was the first ones on so we could sit right in front for a good view even though it was raining out. Well here we are on a big tour bus and Jared and I are the ONLY ones!! We took off and went through even more beautiful country and a tunnel...not 1 mile not 3 miles but 6 miles!! EEK It was alright but wow that is a long tunnel. I also decided I don't really like riding in a BIG tour bus on small mountain roads! Our driver was super nice and gave us some facts and information as we passed certain places. And we told home we were from Minnesota and he said he has family that lives there. Fun times. We finally arrived in Voss and immediately went to speak to a clerk since we were an hour early and there was another train leaving for Bergen soon. She was very nice and let us get on the train which was just the local train but got us to Bergen even quicker. We arrived in Bergen and just took a taxi to our hotel. We were a little early for check-in so we just sat in the lobby and surfed the web. After we checked in we check out and found a little pasta place to eat dinner. So far Bergen looks beautiful and can't wait to explore. I think the vacation is starting to catch up to me as I was tired and wanted to go back to the room and relax. So that is what we did and watched a few movies. Tomorrow we are going to check out the sites of Bergen and go out for a nice dinner on our last night! Also, I did not take many pictures today since it was rainy so they wouldn't turn out very well thought the windows.
