Os-Bergen to Geilo and then to Oslo-Day 15 and 16

We spent the morning of Day 15 exploring Bergen but we must have been tiring of posing bccause we didn't take any pictures.  Then we drove via the Voringfoss waterfall and continued across the bleak Hardangervidda to the beautiful resort town of Geilo.

This was such a charming place, great place to come skiing.  We sat by the fire at night and listened to a Group from Bulgaria sing American songs from 40's to 60's.  What fun, you had to listen really well but they were sweet.

Next morning we traveled through the narrow Hallingdal Valley to emerge among the trim farms of  Ringerike.  Then we pass by Honefass and through the town of Norderhov with its medieval church.  Later we enjoy the scenery as we travel between the Steinsfjord and Tyrifjordn en route to Norway's Capital of Oslo.

Actually I think we were still on the "Norway in a Nutshell" tour and part was by train and ferry as well as bus.  Finally we arrived in Oslo, our destination and the end of that tour--though you could do a round trip back.
