16th on the Norway in a Nutshell Tour from Bergen

We woke up to fog, clouds, and rain, but then the rain let up until the end of the day. The Norway in a Nutshell Tour was an all-day sightseeing extravaganza: three train rides, a bus and a ferry. The bus didn't show up after our ferry ride down the fjord, so we (and about 40 others) had to wait about an hour for the next bus. The mountains, waterfalls, and fjord looked great in the fog and low-hanging clouds.

Everyone got lots of pictures. It was about 14 hours, so most were tired by the time we got home. Tomorrow starts at 7:00 a.m. with the blast of several cannons to mark the beginning of Norway's independence day. Then it's parades and revelry all day long.
