The return of Al' sporrano!!!

[Freelander Sporrano]

Ah, David. If only I had known!! Luckily where I am (on the Tyne Estuary) we have had few problems with flooding, though plenty of rain, thunder, lightening, wind and yesterday, hail stones as big as marbles!!

We get some localised flooding on some of the main roads but nothing we can't cope with.

Happy to say we don't get as much rain as Bergen! (Looking forward to my next visit to the fish market!). We're off on a cruise to Iceland on Monday, revisiting Bergen and Flam on the way back.

Hope all is well with you

Can I suggest that you by pass the huge gift shop on the quayside in Flåm and get the train from Flåm to Myrdal It is one of the great train rides. It doesn't take long and is well worth it believe me.

Yes, we did that last time we were there. An impressive train ride up into the mountains. We even saw some snow, and it was July and very warm. I know what you mean about the gift shop!

Not sure what we'll do this time. If there's a tour we may take it just to see somewhere different.

Was in OSLO last year. LOVED the VIgeland Park and finally got to see Kon Tiki after almost 40yrs of wanting to. Something I studied in school.
