Rare twangster Posted June 7 Author #1059 Share Posted June 7 Not much to see at Myrdal. After 10 minutes we go back. Pics to come. That was pretty cool but it generated a massive thirst. Aegir Double IPA 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got stung by a mosquito in Tromsø and my arm had a swelling of more than 5 inches / 12 centimeters. Never happened to me before, ouch. Same thing happened to my daughter when she moved across the country. She did some research and says that mosquitos in different areas have different saliva or something like that. Maybe that's why you had such a reaction. We just bought insect repellent wipes for our cruise in a few weeks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare twangster Posted June 7 Author #1067 Share Posted June 7 Sail out of Flam in the fjord was so boring. Nothing but rock and water. Meh. Another waterfall. Should I even bother? 6 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted June 7 Author #1068 Share Posted June 7 I might as well go take a nap then eventually see if my other camera took any good pics today. Maybe @Hoopster95 isn't napping. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoopster95 Posted June 7 #1072 Share Posted June 7 (edited) I wish to sincerely thank the weather Gods. I am both incredibly grateful & blessed to have had this opportunity to visit the Flam Valley today, and especially with the awesome weather we had…. Again! For the first time in years I booked an RC excursion. I discovered later that I could’ve figured this all out Myself very easily for half the cost. That does not take away the superb day I enjoyed today. Flam was one of my top 3 sights for Cruise, so I was very hopeful for today. But first maybe a few more intro pics leading up to the excursion IMG_4452.mov Edited June 7 by Hoopster95 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoopster95 Posted June 7 #1073 Share Posted June 7 (edited) So after herding us into the Royal Theatre, the ushered us out like sheep in line as usual out to the pier and out to the train station. All train excursions had assigned cars. So in comparison to the Skagway Train, this one is more comfortable seating. However the seating is arranged in an awkward 3-2 configuration. Also, there not a single “outdoor” viewing area at front or back of the car. Lastly, first 15-20min out of Flam definitely the best side to sit is the right, after that mostly left is best… pick Your poison. We Stopped about 3/4 way up for the waterfall break, then continues until we reached Vatnahalsen Station.

Hoopster95 Posted June 7 #1074 Share Posted June 7 (edited) We had about an Hour at the hotel… they fed us a couple of waffles and coffee/teA and we got To roam around a little bit before the “hike” starting at the famous winding and steep Rallarvegen path Edited June 7 by Hoopster95 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoopster95 Posted June 7 #1075 Share Posted June 7 (edited) As in typical RC fashion, this “hike” was more of a stroll. However it truly was an out 2 hours’ish long 7.5 kms. No hiking here… cleared easy pathway the entire 7.5 kms. 7.5kms took us back to Another train station to get back to flam. The remaining 13-14kms can easily be walked all the way back to Flam without a train, that would take about 4’ish hours depending on your speed The walk, the views, everything…. spectacular!
