Norway In A Nutshell...from Oslo or Bergen to avoid August crowds?

Hi: Do you recommend commencing the NIN trip from Oslo or Bergen to avoid the crowds in mid-August? I am planning on spending a couple of nights in Balestrand so from a logistics perspective it made sense to start the NIN from Oslo. We plan to drive since we will have kids under 7 years so we need that convenience. For example: 1. Drive from Oslo to Myrdal. Spend the night in Myrdal. 2. Morning, do the NIN tour: train (Myrdal to Flam)-boat (Flam to Gudvangen)-bus (Gudvangen to Voss). 3. Afternoon, catch the Bergen-Oslo train from Voss to Myrdal. Pick up the car and drive to Balestrand. Spend the night in Balestrand. 4. Spend a day or two in Balestrand.
5. Drive to Bergen to drop off the car. I am not sure how I can do the stay in Balestrand, if I were to do the NIN from Bergen. I would definitely want to have a car for our travel in/around Balestrand. Any suggestions? Thanks, D
