Norway: Bergen

So after the hectic hiking in Hardangervidda, it was on to Bergen we went! What a picturesque city and faaaaar better in this regard than Oslo (although this wasn't difficult!🤦🏻‍♂️). Quite a touristy place, but there's definitely a reason for it! Beautiful, narrow cobbled streets with cute wooden houses, all built on these little islands and peninsulas created by the fjords. There was also a bustling fish market where they even had WHALE meat on offer. Norway is one of the few countries where whale hunting is still practiced, but we avoided trying the meat due to the ethical implications of whale hunting. Instead we settled for a Norwegian beer bar which had an impressive array of Norwegian beers and finally we ended the night with our first try of Norwegian cuisine at one of their fine dining restaurants. Emz and myself weren't overly impressed. The food was okay, but nothing special for the price. Still, Bergen is a place to be visited if going to Norway and we had a good time here!Read more
