Wednesday, our port of call was Flam, Norway. To get to it we sailed up Sognafjord which is the second longest fjord in the world (204 KM / 127 miles). We entered the fjord about midnight and we we docked at Flam by 8 AM. Flam is on Aurlandsfjord which is a tributary of the Sognafjord. We have been here before and had done the most popular excursion - The Flam Railway (Flamsbana) so this time we did an alternate one - "Aurland Village, Stegastein Viewpoint & Scenic Drive".
