Day 7 of our trip

After staying in Oslo for 3days, we went on a train. Before the train started we went to go get some fast food. When we got on my rolling suitcase broke its handle from the tape (my suitcase had broken its handle before) there were a couple of friendly seniors who fixed my suitcase. We went to the entrance of a tunnel and we waited forever for the other train to pass then a very fast train came out and we started rolling. (you know what this means) We went in and it took 15 minutes until there was a station and we only saw daylight in short periods of time. Then it was the end of the tunnel and we arrived at the station .Then we chased the train to the end of the station then we watched the train leave... ...BACK INTO THE TUNNEL!!!!???? so I was wrong in the last sentence it wasn't the end so then we went on another train and we saw all sorts of beautiful falls. We stopped for pictures at a wooden platform. There was a waterfall up close. Just about when we were bored of taking pictures and we were ready to get back on the train and wait for the train to start rolling we saw a beautiful singer come up from behind some rocks. She sang into a microphone. So we stayed there for quite awhile. Then about 3 minutes before the train left the wooden platform we got back on and went through more beautiful waterfalls. We got off the train and waited for the ferry boat. On the way Dad and I went to a mini mall. On the way back to the ferry landing we saw that the ferry was there so we climbed on board. It was a long ferry boat. Luckily my Dad had bought snacks at the mini mall. He brought some bananas, apples and raisins. There were a ton of seagulls so we threw some food to them. When we got there, we got on a bus. We went up the hill very smoothly until we saw an old narrow trail. The tunnel was short enough for a car, but not for a bus so we went slowly up the old narrow trail. We went very slowly until we got to the top and back on the highway. When we got off the bus we had some dinner at a restaurant near the train station. We had some yummy fries then we tried some ketchup and it was horrible. So then we got on another train that took us to our hostel which we thought would be a hostel. Some of the people working there gave us their room. So we got settled in and slept nicely.
