Copenhagen - Bergen - Voss - Flåm - Sognefjorden - Oslo - Stockholm
- Ferrying from Flam to Godvangen is the quickest way to cover the famous fjords of Norway.
- There are treks available on the route but one needs to stay overnight, Aurland being the biggest.
- Countryside Norway almost shuts down after the second weekend of October so plan accordingly.

I finished off the Archer novel I was carrying for so many days and then sauntered around a dead Aurland for a couple of hours. The minutes spent at the bench near the shore under the warm sun were heavenly.

The ferry came at 3.30 PM dot and took me to another world. The high-rising hills and our ferry moving slowly through a narrow passage were stuffs of fantasy. So many reflections were being created around me that it took me some time to comprehend it.

I took several pictures and yet none of them justified what I was witnessing. Villages would come at so beautiful locations that I wondered they were for real.

Godvangen was again as sleepy as Aurland. I moved quickly to Voss from where I could take a train to Oslo The train was fully booked and hence I had to sleep at Voss Youth Hostel, another comfortable abode.

The next day I was supposed to take a train to Oslo but due to repair work a bus was ready to take us to Al from where we would board the train. The bus trip proved to be as exhilarating an experience as I was having the previous two days.

The bus moved through the coastal Norway, moving along with the hills sometimes cutting through the mountains but often scurrying past a lake that would mesmerise all of us. We reached Oslo very late and I decided to stay overnight to have a look at the capital city. It proved to be worthwhile.
