Norway so far.

Heya Guys, Gaelan here. So far my time in Norway has been great. The journey is fairly straight forward with only a few hiccups here and there! The past few days I've been working with a company called "Tunge Ting." this company makes concrete furnitures and letters. They also did the "Voss" sign you see coming into Voss on the train. They are really great guys to work with and speak really good English (thankfully!) They're always laughing and joking around you the "Potetkanon" or in English "Potato Cannon" which doesn't work. 
Work aside, the majority of us went on a tour called "Norway in a Nutshell." That in itself could be the soul reason for anyone to visit Norway, some of the sights and the entire landscape is magnificent. In the tour you start of with a train to Myrdal, this isn't really awe inspiring, but this is just travelling to the beginning of a great day. Once in Mydal we boarded another train across to a place called Flam (pronounced Flom) and throughout this journey it is littered with great scenery and history, which it also tells you as you travel on. When we arrived in Flam, we had a few hours to do as we wished to go see the sights, go for a walk, and even go to the souvenir centre where I bought myself a Seal Skin! (after much deliberation and trying to decide whether I wanted the bear skin more). Onve the time came, we boarded the boat to a place called Gudvangen, and once again, this Journey is full of amazing sights. I don't remember much of the bus journey from Gudvangen to Voss, but that is purely as I fell asleep on the bus back!
Latter on this week we will be visiting the wind tunnel, so that should be interesting! 
Cheers for now guys, I'll check back later on.
