It took a lot to get a picture where the children running around down there were all simultaneously behind trees
An afternoon walk with Benedicte

Passing images of Bergen
I have absolutely no idea what this is for...

Hardangerfjorden
Yesterday, we rented a car and drove into the Hardangerfjord, south of Bergen. We drove down to Hatvik, where we took a ferry to Venjaneset. From there we drove to Norheimsund via Eikelandsosen/Mundheim. We worked our way up the fjord through Øystese and Kvanndal to finally arrive in Granvin, where you'll see the picture of a white church, which has a bell cast in 1050, one of the oldest of the Nordic countries. From there, we drove up to Voss (famous for its skiing and designer water), and beack to Bergen via Dale (famous for Dale of Norway woolen products).
We went through innumerable tunnels, going under mountains to different valleys, all of which were completely different weather from the one before. The road often was only wide enough for one car, hardly ever with any markings. Lots of switchbacks and hairpin corners, but the views were amazing. Hardangerfjord is famous in Norway for its orchards, so I might go back in the spring to see them all in bloom.

Aquarium!!
The Bergen Aquarium is a wonderful place.
We even saw an alligator being fed a rat and then a rabbit.

Gamlehaugen
Gamlehaugen is the official residence of the King of Norway (Harald V) when he is in Bergen. It is about a 20 minute walk from my apartment, and since today was unusually pleasant, I took the liberty and going down and taking some snapshots. It lies right on the fjord, surrounded by various islands. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get able pictures of that because the sun was just too bright! Not that I'm complaining...
