Need Desi Cook Wichita Ks

Lord of the Fjord

Nach meinem (mehr oder weniger ereignisreichen) Aufenthalt in Oslo machte ich mich auf den Weg an die Westküste Norwegens, nach Bergen. Schon die Zugfahrt dorthin war aufregend, da die Bahn auf dieser Strecke wunderschöne Landschaften passiert. Und in Bergen angekommen, setzte sich meine gute Laune auch gleich fort, da die Stadt wirklich unglaublich schön ist. Rund um die Stadt herum reihen sich sieben Hügel bzw. Berge, die zusammen mit dem Hafen eine idyllische Kulisse bieten.






Another reason why I liked it so well in Bergen was certainly my accommodation and the people I've met there. The crew of the "Intermission" consisted of six friendly Americans who were called me from the moment they welcome and even provided extensively for my physical well-being. In addition to hamburgers and hot dogs and ice cream waffles I got seviert. What do you want (s) more?

Here's a group picture with Will, Cynthia, me, Emily, Heather, Lisa and Peter: is




Since mountains is a popular starting point for day trips to nearby fjords, I decided a trip to Norway's largest and deepest fjord, the Sognefjord to take. The roughly seven-hour round trip was the highlight of my trip so far, prove to be as the following pictures.








Although the trip was not cheap (100 €), I regret my decision yet by no means. Finally, not every day you come to Norway and the fjords are, you just experienced. The same goes for "Hurtigruten", that fleet of coastal steamers that sail daily from Bergen to the North Cape. Since there between the mountains and Trondheim is no direct train, I bought a ticket on the MS Kong Harald "and went on a two-day trip along the fjords to the north.




The ride on this boat was very exciting, especially because we took a side trip to the Geiranger Fjord. This deal is one of the most beautiful fjord in the country. Once again I was given the fanszinierende landscape of mountains, gorges and breathtaking waterfalls. The following impressions are to give a little insight into the world of fjords, although they are more impressive in real life a lot more natural.









Na, who desire to get to Norway?


Until next time,

Martin
