45. Journey to Bergen

42 hours after leaving Lofoten we arrived in Bergen. Posting a few sites from the trip.

Fri 6A - 9:20A. Ferry from Lofoten to Bodo. 10 minute walk from ferry to train station. Shopped for food for the next leg.

Fri 12:27P - 10:13P. 10 hour train ride Bodo to Trondheim. This train is pretty comfy, but 10 hours is a long time.

Fri 11:17P - 6:50A. Overnight sleeper car Trondheim to Oslo. They give the sleeper car travellers a room key while you are waiting on the platform for the train. But there is no queue or line for this, the room key person just strolls down the platform asking people if they need a key for their room. Asking in Norwegian. Hmmmm. That didn't work out too well for us.

Needless to say, when everyone else was tucked away in their room and the train was on its way, Craig was left standing in the hallway watching our bags while I searched from car to car trying to track down our key. With that eventually accomplished, we managed to smoosh our 2 bodies & large bags into the room, (with not an inch of space to spare until I climbed into the top bunk), and get some sleep. And I only cracked my head twice on the ceiling.
🤕 😁

Sat 6:50A - 4:23P 9.5 hour layover at the Oslo train station. Craig hadn't slept well and wanted to hang around the station, but with the thought of another long train ride ahead of us, I decided to venture out and see a bit of Oslo. I wandered down to the harbour, grabbed some food, did some window shopping, saw some political demonstrations and most importantly, just stretched my legs.

Sat 4:23P - 11:17P. 7 hour train ride to Bergen. Delayed from the start, and further delayed b/c some people got on the train at one of the local stops who shouldn't have been on the train, and the train reversed back to the station to drop them off (or kick them out). Dont really know what was going on there.

Sat midnight - arrived in Bergen & grabbed an uber to the hotel. We were exhausted. I celebrated our arrival with my pillow.Les mer
