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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Třnsberg - Bergen
Jul 20, 2005 (4 photos)

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!

Fjords, fjords, and more fjords..!
Sep 6, 2006 (1 photos)

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: ...
