Flåmsbana

After a day in Oslo, I was all set for the fjords. So this was really going to come true! Taking the first morning train to Flåm, it was an endless treat of spectacular mountain ranges, lush greenery and gushing waterfalls. Flåm is served by a private railway company called the Flåmsbana, but with the Inter-rail pass, I only needed to pay something like 20% of the full-ticket price. Worth every penny.

	This was stuff I only saw in geograhy textbooks and travel guides. And right then, it was before my very eyes! It is U-shaped all right!, the result of hundreds of years of glacier movements.
	When the Flåmsbana train passed by this waterfall, the Kjosfossen, it would stop and allow passengers to alight and experience the force of this gushing waterfall. Care-less about getting wet, I ventured to the edge of the platform. The deafening roar of the waterfall, the cool engulfing mist and the breathtaking view...can't get more real than that!
