The Sognefjord is Norway’s longest and deepest fjord, and we cruised upon its majestic waters today.
We then embarked on a spectacular journey on the Flåm Railway (see http://www.flaamsbana.no/eng/Index.html ), ascending from sea level to 3,000 feet, with views of mountain scenery and roaring waterfalls.
Our destination was the historic port of Bergen, Norway's most naturally beautiful city, with its brightly painted houses. We settled in at the Radisson SAS Royal in Bergen. Light rain in the morning while we were on the fjord; heavy rain as we got closer to Bergen. We drove through about 40 mountain tunnels. the longest one being 11 km long.

Okay, that troll is super creepy. She doesn't look too happy to be luring men into her cave behind the waterfall.
The trolls of Scandinavia are pretty well all bad and conniving creatures. The waterfall troll appeared from the waterfall for a few seconds and did a short dance. It was a long distance away. Mom did not see her. I was very lucky with the photos.
