In September David's sister Ann came to Oslo to visit and the three of us went to the west coast of Norway for sightseeing and some birdwatching. We took an overnight train to Bergen, the second largest city in Norway.
We thought the compartment had room for 4 to sleep, but there were only 2 narrow bunks and barely room for our luggage. You can see the three of us in this picture. David and I had to sleep head to toe and wake each other up whenever we needed to turn over. We won't make that mistake again!
Bergen is a beautiful city (with a reputation for having lousy weather). We had sun and warmth. This photo is from the top of one of the peaks (we took a funicular to get there). The oldest part of the city is made up of very narrow wooden buildings. As you go up the hill, there are narrow cobbled streets and pretty houses clinging to the hillside.
And of course there are elves, gnomes and moose everywhere!
