Big Ben and a double-decker bus.
Some strange gargoyles on top of the Aquarium.
We tried out the Eye of London.
We arrived at Buckingham Palace in time for a concert and then the changing of the guard.
Ian treated me to the London version of We Will Rock You...the baby was dancing to the guitar solos.

Back in Oslo

On our last day in Norway we finally made it to the National Gallery to the Scream by Munch, and then spent the afternoon testing out the outdoor cafes. I will miss the Mulkholm non-alcholoic beer!

Flam to Geiranger

The view from our hotel room in Geiranger.

We drove through the longest road tunnel - 24.5km!



Inside the tunnel they put on light shows at each quarter mark to keep drivers interested.




We took multiple ferries through the fjords.




Here is the glacier by the Glacier Museum that we visited.




We had to see it up close - so we had to walk through glacier fed streams..ouch!





Infront of the glacier.




I dared Ian to take a dip in the glacier fed lake - ofcourse he took me up on it.




This was the most amazing ferry ride through the Geiranger fjord. You can see that we just made this ferry (with about an inch to spare!)




This was our hotel in Geiranger - we had the most amazing view! (see first pic)

Bergen to Flam

In Voss - I had to take a photo with the famous trolls...

..and Ian just had to try paragliding.


The water levels all over the country were high due to rain and the snow melt.

We stopped in a little town famous for it's goat cheese and sheep sausage.


The fjord near Flam.



We took a ride on the Flamsbana train.
