September 30, 2018 - Oslo to Flam

Day 4 - September 30, 2018 - Oslo to Flam

We boarded the coach and off we went to our first stop of the day. The coach took us the scenic route and we saw the most beautiful countryside. Norway has built many tunnels to make traveling much quicker. The views were amazing

We stopped along the way at one of the original Stave Churches, built in the 1100's.  There is a modern church next-door that is in use today.  The inside of the church was very small - maybe 20 x 20 square - no pews to sit in.  The wood is coated with a special kind of tar to keep the building protected.

When we got to Flam we boarded the Flam Railway and took the train to the top of the mountain.  Along the way we pass by awesome waterfalls and beautiful views.  The fun part was going back down the mountain we were able to see what we missed on the way up!!
