When I first decided to travel through Scandinavia I posted on some message boards online for advice. Almost everyone agreed that you simply cannot go to Scandinavia without doing the Norway in a Nutshell tour. I originally hadn't planned on coming here but when I found at that Mike wanted to and our schedules worked out perfectly then I pretty much had to.
The train starts off from Oslo at 8am. It climbs through the mountains and then stops at a small town called Myrdal. From there you change trains and head to Flåm. Flåm is at the tip of the biggest Fjord in the country and a ferry goes part of the way through it. After the ferry is a bus ride to Voss and from Voss is another train to Bergen.
The tickets are good for up to 3 days and both of us agreed its crazy to spend $200 on a one day ticket so we looked at the route and found out that Voss is the only stop on the way with a hostel. So we did 85% of the trip on the 28th and the train Bergen the next day.
There really isn't too much to describe since we were sitting most of the time. The contrast of the mountains and the fjords was incredible and I immediately decided that Norway is the most beautiful country in the world.

Got off the bus in Voss and walked a cold half mile to our hostel. We were both dead tired and just hung out there the rest of the night.
