Comfort Holberg Bergen

Hey all!

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 ...

... few. The shrimp, they claim, were just caught earlier in the morning. We then started to explore Bryggen, the old harbor storefronts that were originally used for trading and selling goods brought in from foreign traders. Just as we were starting, we needed to get back to quickly eat lunch and check out of the apartment. Todd and Annie enjoyed sampling a bag of those fresh shrimp. The were whole but she wasn't bothered by ripping off the heads and ...

... to turn for the worse and became dull and overcast. Floyen to the north and Ulriken to the east were now partially covered in cloud with alot of moisture in the air.
On the descent, I hit disaster- twisting my right knee quite badly, spraining the ligaments or tendons which made each downward step more painful with bouldering. We reached the rest stop at Arstad videregaende skole... Arstad Upper Secondary School at around 3.30p.m where ...

... were not afraid to express themselves. They found some support, guidance, and understanding because they tried. And when people are struggling to convey their ideas across, that is the moment when they will find how empathetic and supportive the rest of the world could be. Until next time, happy travels and enjoy the pictures! (Note: None of the pictures in these travelblog entries have been retouched or altered. The colors are all natural.)

Unsurprisingly, it has been pretty cold while out at Sea considering we're traveling to Norway in the upper half of the globe. Life at sea still involves meeting new people every day, some that will become friends, and others that will be forgotten within the hour. I've kept to my promise of hitting up the gym at least everyday, and have even started to frequent at least twice a day to keep up with cardio in the morning and weight lifting in the evening. 6-27-08 Norway is ...

... of Bergen with its crooked wooden buildings and alleyways. The rain was coming down hard now and we lost an umbrella to the wind and my shoe started to leak! We walked on to the Rosenkrantz Tower and did the walking tour of the tower taking some photos of Hakons Hall and the harbour area from the top of the tower. We then walked back through Bryggen to the hotel ...

... anyone being in the streets. But still we were not the only ones jumping the tour bus. We were among the youngest ones, though. A kind of elderly people day trip. Fortunately, there was also two young chinese girls among this touring group formed by coincidence otherwise we might have thought we were in the wrong film. Under the overcast sky every landscape in Norway seems to have certain dramatic elements. And soon the signs of civilisation got more sparse. It was not long until we ...

... I couldn't see anything until we were almost at the runway. The first thing I saw was the choppy ocean, then rocks, then immediately the runway right on top of the rocks. You see, if there's one word I would use to describe that section of Norway, it would be "rocky". There must be very shallow topsoil in that region because there were rocks everywhere. Now I had heard that Norway is very expensive (probably the most expensive country ...
