Glaciers

We left Oslo and took a train to Flam!

We truly love each other, can't you tell? :-)

This was THE coolest train EVER!  here is a section where you can just park strollers, there is a harness on the back so the stroller wouldn't move. She napped most of the time.

This little room you see is for kids. Inside is like a big couch with a section for books, a TV and a little upstairs climbing area. Small but AWESOME for kids. It was like a 4 or 6 hour train ride, I can't remember now, but this part was awesome for the girls.

Here is our view from the train. Can see the sheep? Baa Baa Baa.

We arrived!!! 

Well, this is the second train we took. This one was more like the real stuff, not as fancy and it felt like you might die but SO cool. It made a couple of stops to see some awesome waterfalls.

From here we took a bus and I think we ended up in Kaupanger. Here is a view of the drive from our cabin to the hike.

Victoria:I spy with my little eye something white!

Elena:"Waterfall"

Victoria:"which one?"

This was our first hike and I think it is my favorite of them all.

We were hiking to that little piece of glacier that you see ahead. The photo is taken from from the car. The temperature was amazing, cool but you could feel the soft warmth of the sun. PERFECT!

Elena, Luisa and I at the beginning.

David " this is an easy short little hike"

 Look at Victoria, then the Glacier, short, right?

can't get over the beautiful color of the water.

It wasn't so easy after all. We had some rope falling thing to do (sorry can't remember the name)

Victoria had no fear. Elena..... she is good at Math!

She is getting closer to the glacier.

As we got closer it got a lot colder and some of us were not dressed properly.

So, my little Chile was a little Chilly. 

COOOLLLDDD!!!!

THE man.

Cool....

Seriously, it was SO beautiful, there was a lot more climbing than we thought but the girls were amazing. It was just the beginning of many of them.

"We're Vikings, what do you know the terrors of the Sea..."

Oslo!
We took a little ferry ride to the Bygdoy Peninsula to visit a couple of museums.

Riding one of many ferries.

Look my dream car has longer eyelashes than me!!
Updated version of dream car, must have fake lashes :-)

Picnic lunch before museum, look at the birdies trying to get some of our PB &J

Viking Ship museum

Must be a Viking thing.
 I took about 10 pictures of each one of them and they all came like this!
maybe they always look like this? :-(

Polarship Fram Museum

This museum is a Ship! the ship builder Colin Archer was asked to build a ship that could withstand the crush of polar ice, he got the idea from an egg and with the oval design the ship is pushed up by the ice instead of crashing it.

By the time it was launched it was the strongest ship ever built. 

In 1910 Amundsen set sail, intending to be the first explorer to reach the North Pole, but he was beat by Robert Peary. 

He was sad but turn himself around and was the first man to reach the South Pole

We were able to go through the whole ship.

Some medical instruments.

We stopped at H&M to look for some coats but all we could find were cool shades!
What is with the posing!?!!

Playground!!!!
The next day David had to work so we went back to Vigelan Park to play.

Oh the girls were amazed by this play ground,
We played here until rain and cold winds  kicked us out

My little Chili Pepper getting a little too cold. look at her nose.
