Back from Norway!
« on: August 24, 2006, 10:29:33 am »
Hello guys! I'm back from Norway!

I've got lots of pics, but a bit of bad news, I lost all the ones coming to Bergen, but I luckily saved the ones of the airports coming back from Bergen, so by the time I got into Birmingham, it was a bit dark, but I think the pics came out good.


Ok, here come the Norway photos!

Here is a picture of Bergen, the second biggest city in Norway. This is called Bryygen Harbour, and the houses there date to the medievil times!:


This is Bergens park, named, er, Bergen Park!:


The fountain in Bergen Park:


Then, we went up the Mountain next to Bergen named Ulvik Mountain, which is famous for it's cable car, as shown, and a beautiful view of Bergen:




After that, we travelled to a town called Balestrand. Here is balestrand, which we stayed in for ten days. This is by the Sognfjorden, the biggest and deepest in the world:


We then went onto the Flam railway, and we stopped off at this waterfall. can you see the water goddess on the building?:


After the Flam railway, we went to the Fjaerlandfjorden. Here is a pic of it, and it's mountains:


After that, we went to the Jostaldalsbreen Glacier, and here are two pics of it. One approaching, and one right next to it:




Finally, the Gaulur River was are last sight in Balestrand:  

After that, we were going home, but first we stopped off at the town Vik, before going to Bergen. Here is are pics of Vic. The first on is an Insulated house (yes, a house) and the second one is a stave church:




Ok, now here are the pics of the airports!:

Ok, this is the outside terminal 1 of Bergen Flesland Airport:


This is the inside of Terminal 1 of Bergen Flesland. There is only one timetable, and it's the one you see in the middle:


The plane that will take me to Amsterdam Schipol! (note that the gates are blue. It gave quite a nice touch to the airport):


here, looking out the window of Amsterdam Schipol, at the other terminal that I now need to walk to. The walk lasted 20 minutes!:


Just a nice pic of the hallway in Amsterdam:


Finally, at the gate, here is the KLM B737-400 that would take me home. Also, I got inside the cockipt! They wouldn't let me take pictures, but the pilot told me a few things about the FMC I didn't know before. The STAR on the FMC hadn't cleared yet, so I saw the route they took down!:


Home, sweet home! Looking at the Embraer (i think):


Unfortunately, the last few pics didn't come out to well, but you can just about see the Birmingham sign:




Here we are, at my car! In front is runway 33, the active runway. I don't know whether you can see the planes landing though:

Thanks everyone! They were all done on Digital camera, so I didn't control the camera, the camera controlled me!
