“The sites I saw were brilliant. Great landscapes. However, the whole trip was just nonstop go go go. We did have time for bathroom breaks and water refills but not much else. If u wanna stop and rest or enjoy a meal at a resto along the way - ur not likely to have time to do that. Of course the boats and trains and busses are relaxing but arrival at diff spots was quick. It's perfect if u want to see a lot of places quickly. The bus in voss was nuts. No order. So many tourists being aggressive shoving their way to get on one of the busses.…”
