What is the most scenic way to get from Oslo to Bergen using the Nutshell plan of trains and ferries? Also any recommendations of places to stay in Balestrand and Bergen and favorite restaurants for each would be much appreciated. Thanks!!

My wife and I took Norway in a Nutshell two years ago and loved it. We followed the advice in Rick's guidebook. We stayed one night in Flam, which we highly recommend because you can enjoy the scenery there before getting on the ferry for the fjord the next day and not feel too rushed. We did not want to take the whole route in one day because it makes for a long day and we wanted to enjoy the ride. We bought our tickets directly from Norway in a Nutshell online. As I recall, they have other options you can choose from on the Website, but we took the standard one that Rick writes about in his book.
