Planning Your Time
If you can spare a day or two off the Norway in a Nutshell route, spend it
here. Balestrand is the best home base, especially if you're relying on public
transportation (it's well-connected by express boat both to the Nutshell scene
and to Bergen). If you have a car, consider staying in the heart of the Lustraf-
jord region in sweet little Solvorn (easy ferry connection to the Urnes Stave
Church and a short drive to the Nigard Glacier). As fjord home bases go,
Balestrand and Solvorn are both better—but less convenient—than Flåm or
Aurland on the Nutshell route (see previous chapter).
