Rain and Stormy

I absolutely love solo travelling! Not only because I can do whatever I want whenever I want but also because I pay way more attention to details while travelling. Today for example I realized that there are MANY public toilets all over Bergen. Also I came to the conclusion that people from northern countries build colorful houses to counteract the bad, grey weather. And the last observation was that even though Bergen is the city with the most rain, people still are optimistic, because in every shop I was given paper bags (which obviously were DRENCHED after 3 meters of walking).

So my day started with a delicious glutenfree cinnamon roll and a double shot Cappuccino at Baker Brun. Then I walked on some very pretty streets, got into a talk about the rainy weather with a norvegian man from that neighbourhood and walked to the Aquarium. When I arrived at the aquarium my jeans were COMPLETELY wet, even my underpants were wet. The aquarium was very nice because they showed many local habitats and ecosystems and had an exposition on different algae and how they can be used by humans.
After the aquarium I walked to a lookout and because I was still wet, plus was freezing, I started running. I honestly dont know if there were any drugs in that cinnamon roll or if it was just the sugar-high, but I was so incredibly happy. Despite the storm and the wind i was laughing, running around enjoying the rain on my skin and just being thankful for these moments I had just by myself. I went to see the university of Bergen then grabbed lunch to-go and made my way to the train station to take the train to Odda:)
On the train a (very friendly) conductor had to tell me that I had accidentally bought a bus-ticket instead of a train ticket, which was quite embarassing. However the train ride was beautiful. I saw fjords, rivers, small towns and forests. Now I‘m currently sitting in the bus, quite proud of myself I even got the right ticket and excited to see Norine in two hours! :)Leer más
