Across Country

A long train ride across country today from Voss to Oslo. Touted as a very scenic trip, we were not so lucky today with a snow storm whiting out the view for the first hour or so to the top of the Mountain range, a brief respite to gaze in awe at peaks and valleys smothered in snow before we were back in the storm. Between that and the tunnels through the mountains the view was non existent for quite a way. It was a dull grey day, but as the train track followed the river and many huge lakes that were frozen over, it was interesting in its own way. I imagine a blue sky and a hit of sunshine would have dramatically altered the view, but we enjoyed the quiet comfort of the train and sliding scenery and arrived in Oslo right on time at 3.45pm, caught a cab and were settled back into our hotel by 4.00pm.

We wandered down the street tonight for dinner in a Landerheldens Pub, all rustic wood and beer barrels and of course, candle light. A great hamburger and home for an early night. I'm don't know why but the trip today has really tired us out.
