This was the last day i would spend traveling around norway, tonight i would sleep in olso, leave in the morning.
The day begun by leaving Voss, Heading on a bus towards Gudvangen Fjord.
This boat was smaller then the previous Fjord tour, over packeed, too crowed, if you got a seat you couldnt get up incase you lost the seat, heading down the fjord, lots of waterfalls, the rain started, the seat i'd got was hidden under some shelter, people started to move inside and i got a better view of the fjord.
The boat trip was just over 2 hours, at the end it dropped us into a town called Flam, from here i would take a train and make my way back to Oslo, there was a long gap between the boat i'd walk round the shops, after a while i sat and met 3 ladys doing the same tour as me, waiting for the same train. we sat together.
As the train pulled up we got on, i was happy to be heading back to Olso, we would arrive about 10pm, i would actually get a decent night sleep before leaving in the morning.
we start to climb a hill, on the mountian side, and start stop, looking out the window is a straight down drop, sat on the one track, they announce overhead we have broken down, theres something wrong with the engine, we was stuck!
One of the ladys i was sat with was panicking, do we have to get out onto the track? What if another train comes? brilliant, the sort of things you dont want to be thinking about while stuck on the side of a mountian.
After about 20 minutes, they had announced we would have to roll backwards down the hill back to the main station, we had already gone through 2 stations, so they could fix the train.
once we started moving backwards, it was around a 15 minute roll to the main station, where we got off, there goes my good night sleep o:)
once the train had been fixed we re boarded and headed onwards, they started to tell you myths and stories overhead, how faires sing and make you wander into the mountians, and your never seen again.
the train stopped at this waterfall, where you could get out and take some photos for 5 minutes, all of a sudden there is this singing, i think i am hearing things, 2 ladys appeared at the bottom of the waterfall, singing and dancing, putting on a show for us.
Later, the train pulled into Mydral, where we swapped trains for the long ride back to Oslo, becuase our train was late, we now had to board a packed train, we pushed our way to the front of the first carriage and grabs some seats.
After manging to sleep most of the way, the tain finally pulled into Oslo station, at midnight.
