Near the end of the European portion of my big trip of 2002, I visited the Scandanavian countries of Sweden, Norway and Denmark.

This boat is the hostel I've spent nights on for my visits to Stockholm.

Shops along a street in Bergen.

Dancers on the street in Bergen. It was a giant conga line, and everyone was getting swept up in it.

And the train I was on (a very long train for a very long train ride!) during the scenic ride from Bergen back to Oslo.

But before arriving in Oslo, I did a quick side trip to Flam... a spectacular little village found in the fjords. Here were the waterfals where a scenic train stopped at for a look. Can you see the dancing "siren" in the photo? She's luring tourists to spend more money in the town?

And I took the boat out of Flam and to the town of Gudvangen, where I caught a bus to get back on the train to Oslo.
