I wake up happy and hungry this morning, excited for breakfast at
Fretheim Hotel’s The Conscious Kitchen. The dining staff is just setting up when I arrive (imagine how starved I was in my sleep!) so yehey to no hungry people and hands in my buffet spread pics.

Frances and I, same same shirt, same same cap, same same size. Ha ha ha.
Our train doesn’t leave until 11am so that gives us a little more time to do some silly things.

Hello, Flamsbana!

Flamsbana or The Flam Railway is a 20km-long scenic train journey that will take us to Myrdal. On this 1.5-hour ride we see some of Norway's wildest and most magnificent sceneries.

Some sights we see along the way:

We make a quick 5-minute stop to see this majestic waterfall face to face. As I go near it, water splashes lightly on my face. I smile at the cool feeling on my skin.

So it is necessary for trains to have kid-friendly rooms
Some sights we see on the way to Geilo:

Geilo is a ski resort town. This time of the year when the winter season is about to end,
the place bustles with so much activity.

But we are not here to ski. We are here to eat.
