Aha. We did see the spectacular waterfall, but no one mentioned any myths of dancing there as a surprise, and in any case, our train did not stop, and there were no dancers to be seen!

We also did not experience the entire ride from Flam to Myrdal, as the ship had arranged for the ride to end at a hotel where waffles, whipped cream and jam were served. We would have preferred the entire train ride, and wished we had just booked it separately.

However, cruise stops, the train is reserved entirely, except for the first trip, so those who tried to book on the spot were disappointed.

Here’s a description (see the section Flam Railway: Going up!) and a video of the surprise on the Flåm railway. I thought you saw the same thing when you went?

Yours is the first blog I truly enjoyed. Glad you detailed so much of your trip and your reactions. Because we had been on the Flam railway recently, it was neat to have it described from your perspective.

So, what was the surprise?
