Bergen Airport Scandic

... world.

My hostel in Bergen was unique. Another Christian hostel, I was in need of Bible discussion. They were pretty disorganized, even by non-Christian (heathen) hostel standards. When I checked in they told me that their online booking system was having problems, and that anyone who booked online had lost their reservation. I was told to just wait until they found out if there would be a bed for me… no ...

From Oslo we did the two day Norway 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 Flåm Railway. On the train from Oslo we started to see some snow capped mountains in the distance (the first ever snow I have seen), and before we knew it there was snow right alongside the railway tracks! At one ...

Touching down at Bergen Airport at around 23:10pm on Tuesday night after an uneventful flight I received a phone call to catch the Flybussen- Airport Bus, into Sentrum where I would meet Frank in the City Centre in 30 minutes. Exiting the main terminal building I immediately came across a Bus Driver puffing heavily on a cigarette and was relieved to have found the correct place almost ...

... little legs and hooves. From the meat market we went to the Floibanen funicular. It is a lift that takes you to the top of Mount Floyen. Wonderful views. On the lift on the way up there was a guy from Harrisonburg! He lived there as a child and went to Spotswood Elementary. Once again reminding us how small the world can really be. After we took a lot of great pictures we headed back through the town. We walked through the Bryggen wharf, where ...

... the Hanseatic league treated apprentices - apparently they had "games" in which the apprentices invariably ended up naked. They would be tossed into the ocean, or hung above a fire and beat. Sounds like a German fetish film ... The only other people on the tour were a family from Washington DC. The guy is a soon-to-be-retired member of the Coast Guard. Our guide, Benedicta, had a pretty hot Norwegian accent ...

... plants just to stay alive. The tribes have changed a bit since the movie was made because the government has put a stop to hunting the animals so the animals will be preserved to attract tourists. I thought that was silly. I also learned that one way that the hunter gatherer tribes would preserve food was to use spices (garlic being the best at keeping bacteria at bay). Pretty ...

... while at the bar he bought the two of us a glass of some vintage "Hennessey" and sure it would have been rude to refuse. We clinked glasses and i then quickly realized that i haven't got a classy bone in my body when i downed mine in one go while Calle sipped and savored every drop. Actually i was pretty embarrassed, so much so that i tried to pretend that i still had a little mouth full left in the glass. Calle to his credit would want you feeling uncomfortable about it and replied ...

The rest of the four day weekend, Randy (my friend from work) and I spent doing a mini-fjord trip. First thing Friday morning, we flew out to Bergen and checked out the town. True to what we heard about Bergen, it was raining. But, it was still fun to explore. We went to the old Brygge, which are old buildings used by merchants. The Hanseatic League had their first buildings here back in the early middle ages. To avoid the rain, we also went to ...

... My shoes and pants were so wet by the time we reached the bus station. Once we got back into town, the rain had let up and we headed down the to Fishmarket for lunch. It was really fun. Christy and Lauren had fresh crab meat that they ate of the crab shell and I had fresh shrimp on a roll. It was really good and while we ate, we walked around and looked at all the different stands they had set up. There was one stand that was completely covered with hats and beanies. But we refrained ...
