Goodbye Iceland Hello Bergen

Iceland we love you.
Every day was better than the last. Perfect weather...the air is so crisp and clear. The water is so good ...to drink and to use..it is crystal clear. The country is so environmentally responsible..no litter anywhere..no bags..lite packaging..way ahead of the rest of the world.
The sun barely sets. It is still light at 11 at night and bright by 3am...hard to get to sleep but so beautiful. The people so friendly so eager to chat...so full of optimism. Neither Paul nor I have any sign of allergies or dry eyes...air so crisp and clear.
Iceland is a modern society embracing innovation and technology. Unemployment under 3pc..but tax 24pc...average salary $4500 mo..many make lots more.
We arrived in Bergen about 2.30pm.
I have wanted to visit Norway since I was 17. As a Rotary exchange student I met many exchangees from Norway who sparked an interest in seeing this rugged country and the fiords. The weather is damp and drizzly about 50F but clearing later. The airport is modern and clean. The grounds have azaleas blooming everywhere..gorgeous!
We arrived to our ship the Viking Sun...found our suite..got settled and enjoyed drinks and dinner with Lucie and Jean pinching ourselves that we are able to enjoy this experience.Weiterlesen
