Norge - Noreg - Norway Sogn og Fjordane Part one: From Bergen to Balestrand

It was rather gray and rainy when we strated in the morning from Bergen. The comfortable boat took us quickly northwards and soon we arrived at the mouth of the big fjord - Sognefjorden. It's impressive, and the tall mountains were still covered with snow. We made stops along the way at the smaller towns. It was nice to stand on the deck of the boat and feel the speed while enjoying the sceneries that passed. Clicking on the picture here will bring you a larger version - to study better.
