City Apartment Hotel Bergen

... pente en grillage metallique, donc metal mouiller plus Francis imaginatif egale moi qui glisse a Oslo sur une pente de metal et qui passe proche de frapper un couple de vieux par manque de frein dans ma glissade. Mais bon, nous voulions aller a Bergen pour voir les Fjord, mais sa c pas passer comme prevu, le train passait trop tard et on serait arriver a 10h30 le soir pour partir a la recherche d'une hotel(notre plan de rechange a pas ete si mieux que sa...). Donc on a pris le ...

... world. <br><br>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&#8230; no ...

... are stupendously expensive... (like AU$400 per night for a very basic room with no breakfast or Wi-Fi) but there is an option - CityBox. It was a great little place, absolutely no staff (except a token reception on minimal staffing hours and the cleaners when people leave the rooms), you check-in electronically using the online booking number and your credit card - but it's not second rate, the room itself is quite decent too.<br><br>Since I didn't ...

... not being told! Going back inside I made it clear to Sam that he was being wasted at his current location and should be DJ-ing outside where he would be more appreciated and increase atmosphere... which he definitely took on board because 10 minutes later he told me... "Mick, I've had a word with the Manager and asked to be outside next time." Having had a couple of Beers it was time to move on and the next stop was Metro a more robust Bar ...

... for that matter). Looking forward to a good night's rest in Oslo and a sleep-in tomorrow morning. Magical scenery is still flowing past our window, but after the full day we've had today Colleen's happy reading her new book and I thought I'd use the time to keep you, avid reader, up to date. Next blog should be about Oslo (and relatively brief) before we head to the middle east and possibly an internet blackhole. Hei Ja, Colleen and Chris.

... place because I saw a review from a Spanish girl named Isabel and thought "Hmmm ... any place that hosts beautiful Spanish girls named Isabel is good enough for me!" I went off in search of food. A pizza bun and 1.5 litres of water cost me almost 4 Euros! And this was at a grocery store! Cool thing - your change is actually dispensed automatically (bills included), and you deposit any coins into a slot. I went for a walk and booked a ...

... Portugais... enfin un piege a touriste. Et les poisson sont deja pour la plupart deja sous vide... Enfin c est joli, mais c est pas ce que je recherche. Le pire c est lorsque un immense ferry a debarque un centaine de touristes (bcp de francais et belge mais des vuieux), cetait trop... Alors retour a l Hostel... En rentrant, j ai fais la rencontre d un Italien (30ans) qui voyage aussi avec un Interrail. Il a peu pres les meme envie de destinations ...

... hours away. Anyone that has been on holidays with me will know how much i love the sea and that i will spend most of the beach time in the water so when Helena had said that we were going to the beach for the day i had equipped myself with my swimming trunks inreadinesss for a dip. There was never a thought in my mind that i would not get into the water and when Helena and Jörgen explained that it would be freezing at this time of the year i was laughing off the prospect. After all im ...

... and sits on a major cruise line port. The days are pretty short this time of year so there is not much daylight to see things. That and its bloody cold. Day one I spent exploring the town and checking out some free museums. One of the more interesting museums was on the Nazi occupation during WW2 and the Norwegian resistance. On the second day I took the cable train to the top of one of the mountains for a ...

... It is a museum only. For us, the card was marginally a good deal but I think worth it if you want to use the city bus system. We also took a tram to the top of one of the 7 mountains that surround the city. God bless engineers who figure out how to make trains that can handle a 26 degree slope. Bergen was basically a merchant town during the middle ages and down thru the ...
