Norway Itinerary - Advice Needed
Norway Road Trip - Itinerary
Questions:
- We are spending Friday night in Bergen. We need to be back to Oslo on Sunday evening. We are deciding whether to spend two nights in Bergen, or stay at Hotel Ullensvang in Lofthus to reduce the driving time on Sunday. Hotel Ullensvang seems beautiful, but would is there enough to do in Bergen to spend the additional night there and deal with the longer drive on Sunday? We don't mind the long drive.
- We are interested in a half day "Fjord Safari" excursion to see some of the fjords up close. Are there any that can be specifically recommended, or are they all pretty much the same? I think the best opportunity to do this would either be in Flam or Bergen.
- Any can't miss restaurants along our route?
Thursday - Land in Oslo. Rent car and make our way to Flam for the night . Check out Aurland (Stegastein Viewpoint) and stay at Flamsbrygge Hotel.
Friday - Drive from Flam to Bergen. Check out Voss, Unredal. Stay at Hotel 13 in Bergen.
Saturday - Explore Hardangerfjord and area around Bergen. Either stay in Bergen for a second night or drive to Hotel Ullensvang for the evening.
Sunday - Drive back to Oslo. Explore Eidfjord, Mabodalen, Voringfossen and Geilo.

I don't know if I would want to stay in Flåm, to be honest. Instead of exploring the Hardangerfjord, you might also want to drive across Hardangervidda. Quite spectacular.
Bergen is great, so I'd have no qualms about staying in Bergen, instead of decamping.
