Fun Photo Friday — Flåm and Flåmsbana Favorites 4

Flåmsbana Antique

Today’s Fun Photo Friday finishes up our look at Flåm, the Flåmsbana, and the fjords leaving Flåm. Next week we’re on to our next June 2022 Norwegian destination, Haugesund.

Jewel of the Seas — Norway; Continuing through the Fjords after Flåm 2

Cruising the fjords after leaving Flåm

Jewel of the Seas departed Flåm sometime after 5:00 p.m. The two fjords we sailed on this departure were Aurlandsfjord, and then Sognefjord. Sognefjord is the deepest and longest among the famously photogenic Norwegian fjords. Today I’ll be highlighting (while giving myself a bit of a break) these fjords by just posting slide shows of this transit from 28 June 2022.
