When the days stretch on forever...

Come to think of it i have only seen nightfall once in the last 5 days. That was at 1 am on the crown of scandinavia. Its not that we have been early sleepers..but the sun sets past midnight and is up again just too early.

Today we travelled the whole day to Bergen. It's the second largest city in Norway after Oslo. However it has a whole different look. Quaint pretty houses are set into the hill, reminding me of the town in italy that josephine was telling me about.

We took the reknown flÄmsbana rail to get here. Noted for it's engineering along precarious cliffs as well as boasting terribly scenic views, it was a good ride. Then we boarded the fjord 1 cruise boat. It was a 5 hour ride down norway's longest and deepest fjords. A world heritage site. Nicee!
