Spring Break: March 23 Train to Oslo

This was a far less stressful morning, but the travel was not with out its hinges. We, with about 7 min to spare, head to the train station.

One last look at Bergen before we head back to Oslo.

Goodbye Bergen train station from the outside.

We wait around for a little and realize that our train (and there are only two tracks) was no where to be found. We asked a portly worker, and he informed us that because of an oncoming blizzard (yikes!) it was stuck at Voss. So, yet again, we got on a bus to Voss. We caught our train and waited for the oncoming snow storm.

Yes, the snow really did come down hard once the train started moving, but, while admiring the snow, we noticed that we were stopped at Mydral Station! This was the one stop we did not make on out Nutshell Tour, so we goofily with a lot of stares jumped off the train took pics and jumped back on.

The train continued, and we played more Nintendo DS. The train was at an incredibly high altitude, and we were zooming in and out of tunnels. In one tunnel, the train stopped. We figured they were waiting for another train to pass or something, but after an half an hour, they announced that there were some difficulties. We remained calm until the lights went out too! We panicked a little, but no one else on the train did.

We followed everyone else's lead and went to the snack car and bought hot dogs.
After 2 hours, we were on our way again. The sun came out and cleared the tracks.
Even though we started our rather early, it was dark once we arrived in Oslo.

Our hostel was a classic hostel. We accidentally booked only one bed, but it was easily enough to sneak in tiny Erica and save our selves a few good Kroner.
