We took the famous Fast-Ferry from Balestrand to Bergen. It hydroplanes on two small rails and hits speeds of over 60mph. Here is a shot of the ferry throwing an impressive amount of spray as it hits speed.In the Fjord.

As soon as we hit Bergen I grabbed the map and compass and headed for a famous fly-fishing shop on market street.And here it is!
