Balestrand, Norway Sept 19, 2010

Sunday is almost over here in Balestrand, Norway.  It is so beautiful and green tucked down in these mountains.  We got here by Ferry.  But it was an adventure.  We got off the Flam train and we were in this little village.  We saw the ferries on the dock.  We went and asked this worker if this was the right ferry and he said yes but they weren't leaving for awhile.  So we took our luggage and put them in line to get on.  We then took turns quickly looking in the open shops.  We soon loaded and it was amazing.  Tami happen to go down by the coffee shops and heard a guy ask if he was on the right ferry?  The coffee lady said something and it trigered Tami to ask if we were on the right ferry she looked at the tickets and said that we weren't on the right one.  She said that the fast ferry that passed us was the one we were suppose to be on.  They called the fast ferry and it stopped and came back to were the ferry was coming up to.  They quickly deposited 3 fat ladies with tons of luggage on the lonesome dock.  The fast ferry was waiting just out a little and everyone was watching from both as the stoways could be deposited onto the right ferry.,  It all happened in a matter of minutes.  As we walked on we saw some of our train compainions.  Opps.  We our burdened with our luggage.  Tami and Mom can't even lift their stuff to put on the trains or on the boats.  It has been hilarious
