Flam no more

I wondered if they would change it as they had done to a previous cruise before ours.

There would have been 4 ships in at Flam (inc. Britania) so maybe just as well they have changed it.

I was thinking there might be a change.

Five ships an over 10000 people would be far too many for Flam.

I'm quite happy really.

If you are fit it's worth walking to the cafe at the top of the hill in Alesund. We did it and the views over the town and surrounding countryside are spectacular. I think there is a tram service from near the dock for the less mobile. And the town and parks are pleasant just to wander around.

There's a noddy train that's takes you to the top and the views are stunning. I would recommend it as it takes you the long way round rather than straight up to the top and you see a lot of the town - parks architecture etc

 

My grumble when we were there is that the town was quiet - although we were there midweek shops and cafes etc all seemed to open quite late in the morning (I am an early morning person who likes to wander early)

Hi bigcj - I emailed http://www.visitflam.com direct yesterday - as I had booked my train tickets direct with them. They responded this morning and said they would refund me - I hadn't bought any cancellation insurance. They were very nice about it.

Thanks JasperK I will give it a go

I emailed them also and straightaway they refunded me.

That's great to know the railway is giving refunds. With so many ships in port it will be easy for them to re-sell I'm sure. I hope Anne Frank's house will do the same for me if Amsterdam is changed later in the year!
