Flam to Oslo - Day 7

Today we drove from Flam back to Oslo by a faster route. We drove through the longest tunnel in the world at 25 kilometers. The tunnel has these interesting breaks with blue and green lights to simulate sunlight. We have gone through more tunnels on this trip! Through mountains and under water. On the way back in, we passed by the island where the teenagers were killed while at camp a few weeks ago. Once we got back into Oslo, we parked, which included successfully using the on street parking meter machine in a different language, and walked back to the main area around city hall. We had a little time before we needed to get on the ferry, so we went here to get a quick (or not so quick, as it turns out) lunch at McDonalds, go to the bathroom, take a few last pictures, and get Mattie a postcard. They don't quite get the concept of fast-food here. I guess they just figure it's faster than a sit down restaurant? We made it back to the car and made our way to the ferry. We are on the ferry right now headed to Copenhagen for the next 2 days.

Another tunnel! Goes straight through the mountain.
Another blind curve.

Another town.
Reflection is so pretty!
Sheep in the road. We passed 2 small herds of sheep along the way that included black sheep, and they really were off in the corner alone. I guess the saying is true! I wasn't fast enough to take a picture of them.
