Norway, day 1

Norway was a complete opposite of my first impression of Iceland. Seeing Bergen (Norway) through the clouds as we were landing was simply breath-taking. Miles and miles (or should I say kilometers?) of water and land. You couldn't tell if the land was surrounding the water or the water was surrounding the land. The fjords are amazing surronded by mountains with little islands cropping up here and there.

After landing, my first impression of Bergen was that it was like many old European cities. However, central Bergen is quite lovely with views of the wharf everywhere you turn.

It is sooooo expensive though. I stopped by a 7-11 (yep, there are 2 here, both sitting in the middle of quaint streets surrounded by quaint shops, quite the juxtaposition) to see how much prices were for things, wow. A small coke is about $4. Fish and chips selling on the wharf, $27. I decided to stop by a cafe and bought a hot dog and soda for about $9. It was funny, everyone speaks English but when I went to the cafe and asked for a hot dog which they had a picture of, the guy looked at me as if I was from another planet. Apparently they don't call it that here. Oh well.
