Due to its picturesque location, Flam is a true tourist hotspot. After a short walk, we treat ourselves to a salmon pizza. Boarding is at 3:00 PM. We have booked the fast boat to Bergen. The journey takes 5 hours. As time passes, it gets too windy on deck, so we retreat inside, look forward to Bergen, and enjoy a beer.
