Bergen, Norway
This was a side trip from Iceland. After doing the South Shore of Iceland, we flew to Bergen, Norway arriving just before midnight. We spent 3 days in the Bergen area, including Sognefjord, Balestrand and Flåm, before flying back to Iceland mid morning on day 4 to start the Snæfellsjökull Peninsula part of the trip. We, honestly we could have spent longer.
