We had a very relaxing and wonderful day today. After waking up we were treated to another wonderful breakfast by Bibbi, Svien led us on a walk in the nearby mountains. The hills were covered in evergreens and bursting with wild flowers and heavily-laden blueberry bushes (we ate a few, and they were tasty!). From the top of the mountain, we enjoyed sweeping views over the fjords and islands, as far as the eye could see. The walk took a couple hours, after which we returned home to a wonderful lunch with Bibbi's son Alexander, his wife, and two sons. We had traditional sour Norwegian porridge as well as the tasty meat cakes that we had made earlier in the week. Svien and Bibbi drove us the train station in Bergen after generously loading us up with food. Bibbi walked us to the train to make sure we got on the right one.
Our train ride to Oslo has had spectacular views of the mountains; we can see why there are tours and why Rick Steves recommends this train ride. The high alpine terrain is literally awash in waterfalls and the bright little villages are so charming. We enjoyed our train ride and arrived safely at Oslo Sentral in the evening. A short tram ride to our hotel, and off to bed so we can explore Oslo tomorrow.
