Bergen Airport Scandic

Hey all!<br><br>So our first stop with the cruise after a day at sea was Bergen, Norway. The ride here was great. Lots of eating and drinking involved with a cruise. I highly recommend it for a holiday that you can spend money on unlike leanne and I haha. There is tons of activities to do, or two pools to hang out at...we mostly relaxed and read. I even managed to read and finish a 500+ page book!! I KNOW ...

... to the P-Hotel in city center. We had to leave the car in a parking garage as there was none to be found. The accomodations were reminiscent of our trip to Rome with small cramped rooms and a view of the dirty, cacaphonous streets. The weather had turned sunny and after settling in. our party traveled to city center for drinks, dinner and shopping. The nights get a little darker than Trondheim allowing for better sleeping conditions.<br>

... at a time... and this was what was causing the delay as people navigated it with some caution. Leaving that bloody crossing far behind it was time to get going and finally press on with some gusto. The tarmac path had long disappeared as we marched uphill and cross country through boggy grassland whilst bouldering to reach the Summit. I knew this was never going to be easy and with trail conditions not being the best we definitely had a hard task ...

... to him in english. He turns back to me and I say the usual 'hello, can I have this please?' in english......he says something to me in norwegian then turns back to the guy and says something to him in english...he then turns back to me and talks to me in norwegian at which point I say I can't understnad norwegian...he looks confused and then gets embarrassed and apologises in english. I think he thought I was norwegian and was ...

... to walk all the way if you don't want to. There are to cute and small funicular trains taking you to the top where you can enjoy a beautiful view of the whole town. There is even a restaurant there so you can stay for dinner or just have an ice cream if the weather's with you. This will give you an overview of the town in good weather, but if it's rainy there's a good chance that ...

... out by the lake side. Voss is an absolutely gorgeous city, and while it doesn't offer much to do after a few days, its scenery can be enjoyed from any point in the city with mountains towering over each section of the village. We walked the half hour back to our hostel extremely late and concluded that it was best not to sleep outside under the stars (mainly because it was still so light out that there were NO stars). The 3am bedtime essentially ensured that we didn't ...

Wednesday 7Th May: Sweden The euroline´s bus journey to Goteborg was long but surprisingly i arrived in good spirits, no worse for wear than any long-haul flight Ive ever been on. I had traveled from Amsterdam to Hamburg where i had a change of bus and then via ferry to Copenhagen where i changed to yet another bus and then traveled over the Oresund bridge, linking Denmark and Sweden, up through Malmo and Helsingborg before eventually reaching Goteborg. The fare was EUR99 which for the ...

Woke up at 6.45am and had breakfast at the hotel. Walked across to train station to begin our Norway in a Nutshell tour with a train trip from Bergen to Voss on the 8.40am train. Train was crowded with kids going skiing. Arrived in Voss and switched to a bus to take us to Gudvangen on the Naedroyfjorden. Scenic bus trip past frozen lakes and waterfalls. At Gudvangen we boarded the boat for our 2 ...

(Jim) We are here in Bergen, Norway, where it is cold and rainy. Based on Friday's wholly atypical temperature of 70 degrees, we are all dressed in shorts except for me. During our morning walkies around the city, the kids complained bitterly about the cold, wet, and lack of same-age playmates. I tried to distract the kids by pointing out that Norwegian is a Germanic ...

... to pay to visit it. Another thing I immediately noticed about Norway was how homogeneous it is compared to where I came from. In London, I saw all kinds of people all over, but once I got on the plane till now, it's been all Caucasians (mostly blond, too). Several people have started talking Norwegian to me, so I must not look too out of place (I'm 1/8 Norwegian). Haugesund airport was tiny, I think it only had 2 gates and the smallest ...
