Beautiful Bergen

After Chuck's week of working, we jetted off to Bergen, Norway for a little vacation. While living in Denmark, we often talked about going to Norway; however during our 3 week summer holidays, we headed south, thus avoiding Norway. So, this was it....4 days in Bergen.

I booked the Augustin hotel, which is just off the wharf; albeit on the "wrong" side of the wharf, but it was next to the Best Western and received great reviews on TripAdvisor. We had a bit of a check in issue; however it was really the result of a front desk clerk (Hanne), just being a jerk. The cliffnote version....we had booked a deluxe room, she gave us a standard room which looked into the living room of an adjacent flat, I asked if it was deluxe because it resembled the online photos of a standard room, she said yes it was deluxe, I asked to see another deluxe room, we moved to a REAL deluxe room. In the end, the Augustin was a great hotel and all the staff (with the exception of Hanne) were very friendly and helpful.

While in Bergen, we...

• took the funicular up to Mt. Floyen
• walked and shopped on the Bryggen Hanseatic Wharf
• went to the fort
• went on the Norway in a Nutshell tour
• walked and smelled the fisherman's wharf
• bought a Fosse Norwegian sweater
