A ride on the Ofoten Railway

Narvik from the ship

Today we're at Narvik, and escorting a tour on the Ofoten Railway which once once described as the eighth wonder of the world. The train journey runs from Narvik uphill to Riksgransen which is in Sweden.

I didn't take any pictures on the train ride up (thankfully Peter took lots of film), but I can tell you that the views were awesome. We overlooked Rombarksfjord and its surrounding mountains as we travelleds and it was wonderful. We were lucky in that we had a beautiful sunny and clear day and travelled up in the best light of the morning.

But as I said, I didn't take any pictures on the way up, (too much reflection off the window glass), but I did take a few pictures on the coach ride on the way down

At Riksgransen, the long red building below is where we get tea and cake before setting off on the journey home.

A Troll - Norway is full of them, did you know?

Some of the fantastic scenery

Sunset at 2.30pm.  Our tour guide told us the sun does will not reach the houses at the bottom of the valley again until March.
