A Bergen holiday
Rain and more rain, my original plan to walk in the Hardangervidda was scuppered when I found out that all the huts are closed and people are being discouraged from walking in that area due to it being the wild reindeer calving season. (only found out two days ago).

| Why the question? |
Flew into Bergen Airport from Aberdeen in the morning and got the light rail into the centre of Bergan which is a 45 minute ride away.

| Listening by the bandstand in the rain |
Bergen was buzzing, there is Jazz Festival at the moment and there was a band playing in the bandstand with a few waterproofed people listening.

In the central plaza there is a stage setup for various things, a film festival this week, and there was a recital of music by Norwegian composers being played by University students in the early afternoon and a piano recital early evening.
 |
| Stating up the hill |
Between the two I walked up the zig zag track to the top of the funicular railway and viewpoint overlooking the city. It did stop raining at times and the views were spectacular.

I am staying at a cheap hostel, it appears to be the only thing that's cheap in Norway, but the food is good if you can afford it.
