Høstferie Dag 2

Although the rain continued into the night yesterday, it didn't get too cold and we slept quite well. This morning, a healthy portion of "havre grun" (oatmeal) provided us with enough energy for the seven hour bus ride which still lay ahead of us.
Upon reaching Bergen, a friend from school, Ivar, kindly picked us up and brought us to his brother's place.PA030007
As a student, he has a nice place with an amazing view overlooking most of Bergen, but there isn't too much extra floor space as his family is here visiting. Our plan had been to tent in his yard, but if you know anything about western Norway, you won't be surprised to hear that the rain is pouring and the wind blowing. We've decided to take advantage of an offer to make space on the laundry room floor.
It's amazing how many people you meet and how many connections you make. We took the bus across the city (with the help of more than one friendly local) to a get together at another friends place for the evening.
A long day, but we got to Bergen!
