Back in Bergen

    We got into Bergen on Tuesday afternoon and it was an easy transfer to my hotel. It was raining so I didn't get around as much as I'd like, but I did find the train station and a place close to the fish market to have an outdoor beer.

   After a long night's sleep, today I found the martime and cultural museums. They were on a far side of town (pretty too) after a big walk up to another old church. Funny how you can hardly get me into a church at home, but it's the opposite here (even though I don't stay long).

   I did a little window shopping at the old warf area where some of the original wooden buildings are now used as art studios and shops for tourists. It started to rain again in the afternoon so luckily I found myself close to a another bar with an awning. I relaxed a bit and watched people walk by until the rain stopped.

   Tomorrow I go the train station to buy my ticket for Friday's trip to Oslo. I saw a sign at the station yesterday saying I need to buy the ticket a day ahead. The train ride is around 8 hours through the mountains, so it should be pretty out the window.

   Is there such a thing as scenery fatigue? I'm having luck uploading my 400 (or so) pictures onto Flickr. I'll include the link on the blog after I organize them a bit, it's pretty messy in there now.
