ray in Norway
Last weekend I went for a quick break
to Norway to visit some friends, Kristian, Olav and Nan (not the
fab Indian bread, but the gorgeous singer (see previous)). It took
a total of 13 hours to get to Bergen from London due to the bus
breaking down in a tunnel hundreds of meters down under a fjord.
The guy sitting next to me blamed it on my presence, personally I
think it was because it was Friday the 13th and there needed to be
a cosmic balance in the day... Finally got there and went out to
enjoy the night life. Was so good to see Kristian and Olav again as
has been a year, and quite a while since I saw Olav too. Will get
some pics of them.
Bergen is my dream town, peaceful, beautiful and has a great social
life (although alcohol is really expensive!). It is nested in
between 7 mountains so the views are great and is really close to
some seriously good hiking... perfect. I hope to move there one day
and build a wooden boat (a nice sized one...)!
Was a quite weekend filled with chilling, drinking, eating and
relaxing. On the way home I got chatting to the taxi driver. He
said I should come back to Haugesund in August because then they
have a herring festival and I can stay with him! People are very
open and friendly there!
The next trip there will be in July for the Island festival, can't
wait!
