The town of Bergen (Day 3)

What rain?

Back to Bergen, and back to reality...
... 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 ...
This is what I imagined Scadinavia to be like!
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 ...

... get into the navy. East coast is army and central is airforce. Strange concept for me. But frankly, if I could move to Norway, I would. High tax rates, but if you get sick, you get taken care of! I like it ...
Bergen & Life During a Passage
... about any direction you look. The waterfront is a charming place with row after row of homes packed very closely to each other. From Bergen, we flew to the yacht off shore and proceeded to Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. Stee and I were the only ones ...
Bergen - where it all begins (allegedly!!)
... starts (allegedly!). That’s why, like in true British fashion, we’re visiting this city last!!! Today Bergen is Norway’s second largest city and is dominated by the oil industry. The city’s physical beauty is enhanced by the ...

Bergen és az UNESCO örökségek!
... , 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 ...

Beautiful Bergen

Bergen
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 ...

Třnsberg - Bergen
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 ...
