Has anyone traveled to Norway, specifically Bergen or Flam?

So, I have a Scandinavian extravaganza coming up in the next few weeks. Near the end of it we are spending 2 2/3rd days in Bergen Norway. The spouse wants to take nearly a day of our time going to another village in Norway called Flam, and to scedule a really beautiful kayak experience there on the fjords. The problem I see is the train ride (scenic) there and back takes 7 hours total and the kayak is 3 hours. Plus another hour to two shopping and eating.

So... Does anyone have any experience in this area of Norway? I could go either way, but if there is any advice I am all ears.

No, but I’ve been to Bergen County in New Jersey many times, and i assume it’s the same thing.

Seems likely to me.

Only if they accept the Norwegian Kroner.

In Bergen County they’ll take whatever you have. I mean that literally. Watch your wallets and purses.

Hopefully this guy weighs in, as he’s a Scandinavian native.

You know the first time I went to Stockholm, I had Swedish meatballs and all I heard in my head was the Swedish Chef. I am such a child.
