... in snow covered Finse, 1222 metres above sea level. It was an early reminder of why I chose to come to Norway, and I immediately adored Bergen as I walked down the cobbled streets leading from the train station. It was a very quaint city, with a gorgeous ...

... extraordinarily steep, and we passed by some very isolated farmhouses, perched high on the sides. Now I am in Bergen, on the west coast of Norway. Absolutely delighted with the weather (it rains here an average of 274 days a year). Bergen is charming, ...

... speaking of Spain - I fly there tomorrow afternoon. I'll be in Alicante a day then up to Valencia as my base for La Tomatina. (an example of the high prices in Norway: the bus from Bergen to the airport $10, the bus from Alicante airport to town $1.20)

... quite comfortable chairs while doing so. Yet another winner of a holiday, and would recommend it to anyone! Do realise though that Norway is a relatively expensive country, but we managed to get by on a pretty good budget over the 4 days that we were ...

We packed our backpacks once more and moved to Bergen. Team0506 is reunited and weve added another member to our 0607 crew; lovely Tone, our new partner in crime(we want to steal remote controls).

Story goes in Bergen it rains most of the time. I guess I was very lucky spending just the one day in Bergen and being treated to sunshine :D

... nem volt semmi különleges íze, finom volt. Persze nem támogatom a bálnahalászatot, de azért egyszer azért csak kipróbálhatom én is... Bergen csak úgy pezsgett, sok-sok turista, meg fiatal az utcán. Vacsira visszamentünk a hotelba, szarvaspörkölt volt, de szerintem nem ...

... our hotel and walked around a bit. Then we went to bed. The next morning we took a double decker bus to a mountain that surrounds Bergen. Then we rode a cable car up the mountain. It was my first time on a cable car, so I was really excited. The view ...

Left Bergen for Italy

Got back on the E39 toward Bergen after a breakfast of dark bread, salted herring and brown cheese. The girls had to stop in Stryn for American cuisine. The roads were much better but progress was slow as any curves caused consternation and much ado among ...

Well, the tour of the fjords is over, and I am at a very cool little fishing town of Bergen. Unfortunatly it is over-run with tourists, but still a very nice place. I will stay here a day or so, then try to find a ferry or boat out of here. The only ...

Spent the morning travelling from Stavanger to Bergen. Did a lot of Island-hopping and so had two ferry crossings. One was only 20 mins and the other was 40 mins. Gee they move quick. The cars and buses get on and off in record time and then the ferry is ...

... is makes it a bonus. Had an interesting experience today. Keep getting mistaken for being Danish in Denmark and Norwegian in Norway. Was in a shop in Bergen and the owner was talking to a guy in english about a car accident. He sees me waiting and ...

... on for defense, there are places for cannons all along the inside! We had lunch at a restaurant connected to the Bergen Kuntsmuseum called Bolgen & Moi. I had fantastic Trond Mois Fiskesuppe! (Fish chowder). There was shrimp, salmon, and mussels in it, ...

Although actual road distances may not be that impressive, the time it takes to get from A to B (in this instance Třnsberg to Bergen) is. The scenery is spectacular and one could only wish to spend more time to take all this in!

The busride to Flesland was quite fine. I had bags, no suitcases. The trip was to be done with car, not buses or planes. I checked in and left for... Copenhagen, the first stop towards Dublin.

... in a Nutshell tour. The weather was incredible - warm and sunny, we were very blessed. We caught the train from Oslo towards Bergen, and at the mountain stop Myrdal we switched to the Flĺm Railway. On the train from Oslo we started to see some snow ...

Bergen is what made the Sweden/Norway trip quite incredible. It is a different type of land. It's called the Gateway to the Fjords, aptly named since it is the only city surrounded by 7 Fjords. It is also full of culture, history, and art. Hikes: ...

Driving from Oslo to Bergan was quite eventfull, we didnt really predict much snow as we were heading west as apose to North but we got lots of it, the worst bit was on a mountain over pass as it was not only snow but ice o the road aswell where the ...

... good wholesome homemade dinner and a nice comfy bed. Ingelin felt it was her duty to show me all the tourist attractions of beautiful Bergen. After that hour we had some time to kill. So I spent most of my time hanging out with Ingelin and her friends. It ...

... , in the forest-covered mountains, in the seagulls escorting our ship, in the view from the Gudvangen-Voss road... I mean, I don't know whether he exists, but if he does, some piece of him was left here in Norway. Tomorrow morning I get my train to Oslo.
