Flaam, and fjords

The drive

We drove five hours to Flaam, which is the closet fjord to Oslo. 

We went through a 26 km tunnel which is supposed to be the longest in the world. And the views were amazing. Driving through the Norwegian countryside is very unique. 

The house

When we arrived at the house Auntie Hege had a panic attack because we weren't allowed to bring the dog but we did anyone, but there was no one at reception so it was fine. Me and Ella found the key so we opened up the house and snuck the dog in. 

Outside the window we could see a million dollar view. 

The train ride up the mountain

The next day we caught a tourist train up to the top of the mountain. It wasn't very full because it's meant to be winter there, but it isn't yet, the weather has been weirdly warm. It's not cold in Norway right now because of obvious climate change. It's scary how the world is warming up so quickly.

The pig

When we jumped off the train, and walked around for a little bit we came across a pig that had been killed 20 minutes before we got there, it hung from a tree near the hotel, and a group of young men were gutting it. Me and uncle Matt watched that for a while while mum and Ella and Hege walked off. 

Lunch on the mountain 

Then we made a little bbq lunch thing, we cooked sausages and wrapped them in potato bread just off the walking track and ate our lunch. 

As we walked back one of the guys let us know they were going to kill another pig and as the man walked passed with his shotgun we rushed a little faster to remove Ella from it. 

Travelling in the fjords

Later that day we jumped on a boat and travelled along a Fjord. It was amazing! 

The next day we drove home in the rain.
