Voss to Floro 6 August


Hi..................................................


We started toward Flam, a small town on the Fjord that is the destination for cruise ships and the visiting tall ships. That was not before the usual ride up the mountain with spectacular views over the surrounding fjord, and back down again, where we had a ferry ride, followed shortly after by another ferry ride, and then a simply magical ride up the mountain complete with glacier, a ride across the top, lakes snow ice, the usual fantastic stuff, and then back down the mountain, which can be very boring unless you are on a bike , then its great pleasure.


So once again the valley unfolds with its own special feel and look, and they are all very different. We refuelled at Forde where the attendant advised us to go on to Floro. We did. It turned out to be a magic little village on a fjord, surrounded by boats of all shapes and sizes which for me and Thom who lives on one of the Great Lakes in the US was pure delight. Its not just the destination because getting there down the fjords and through the villages is great riding.


So we are back on the sea. Who knows what tomorrow will bring.
