Apparently this blog sometimes likes to not work. It’s kind of stubborn that way I guess. Unfortunately, with traveling I don’t have much time to figure out why it’s doing this, but if you are patient, the site should be running after an a while.
small update: Leaving Bergen tomorrow to see some fjords then on to Oslo!
Bergen, Interior Design Museum. Saw a lot of chairs and crazy clothing (Who wears that stuff??) Amy really liked the display on chairs throughout the ages. Brian liked the teapots. + Ate Ramen lunch at the hotel Yum! + Catching the tourist Information right before they took away the sign. + Bought easy to make soup (just add water and boil) and ready made food at the supermarket, ate at hostel. + Amy had a nice conversation with a retired Cantonese couple from Australia about things ranging from where they’ve been to how the university system is in Australia and how her sons still live with her because there’s less of a need to go far away to go to a good school, etc. + Sunset by the Harbor, ice cream: Coffee with soft serve ice cream dipped in Chocolate powder.
Amy and I have had some good luck while traveling in Scandinavia. On our first evening in Copenhagen, I looked down and found 10 kroners! That’s like 2 bucks! We were both very happy. However Amy was not to be outdone. The next evening while leaving a traditional Copenhagen restaurant (Chinese restaurant) she found 500 KRONERS! That’s like 100 bucks! … however Scandinavia is very expensive so that really only buys you like a waffle cone. just kidding… maybe five waffle cones.
Then more luck was awaiting us in Bergen, Norway (where we are now!) First off all the tour guides warned you to be ready for rain and clouds as Bergen only gets 60 days of sun every year. I guess we are lucky because we’ve had two beautiful days of Norwegian sun! Also when checking in to our hotel they didn’t have our reservation (that is one unit of bad luck) but they had some open rooms for us if we were willing to change rooms for our second night. And since we had to go through the trouble of moving they gave us a 25% discount! ( two units of good luck! that means we ended up with one unit of good luck)
oh… and Amy wants me to add that she found ramen. I don’t think that is so lucky :/
I’m off to do some traveling now!
ciao!
