After a hearty breakfast at the hotel we continue to reach higher altitudes before the road drops down to sea level. Now we are in “fjord land” and will, for a few days, enjoy some of mother-nature’s most beautiful creations, where narrow fjords meet the mountains. We arrive at Aurdalsfjorden and eventually Flåm which boasts one of the world’s steepest railways and a quaint little port where cruise ships usually stop. The winding road follows Sognefjordens beautiful shore past small villages and orchards. We spend the night in Balestrand just by Sognefjorden, which is the world’s second longest fjord.
