Hoth

Last week we took a trip to Bergen from Oslo.

We followed the popular "Norway in a Nutshell" route but did it ourselves instead of booking the tour. This saved us quite a bit of money. We got to see the fjords and lots of beautiful scenery along the way. More of that later.

One of the most remarkable sights on the train ride for me was passing through Finse, the highest station on the Norwegian train line (more than 1000m above sea level, I think). Here are some pictures.
If the pictures look familiar to you it may be because Finse was where the battle scenes on planet Hoth in Empire Strikes Back were shot. Finse is also where people planning arctic expeditions train.

It certainly didn't feel like spring but it was awesome.
