the excitement started just after midnight. The University in Bergen was having orientation
for the new students this week. I really don't have to say more, but they woke us up with
all the partying. We just returned to sleep and when there was one H of a crash. Someone hot wired a vehicle and in their get-a-way attempt,smashed it into another van, also destroying chairs and benches in front of a small coffee shop, as well as garbage cans etc. The vehicle stalled and the next thing we saw was the vans owners armed with boards from the broken furniture chasing the thief. The police arrived with in seconds and so did the police dog. The event made front headlines in the local paper. We had front row seats as we could see all that was going on from our balcony. Unfortunately he got away.
Anyway back to the morning. We rode public transit for 1 1/2 hours to reach the fjord.
Then took a 3 hour boat ride stopping at many little villages and reaching our destination
of Eidfjord. What a picturesque day, from the high granite walls and numerous waterfalls to
the orchards. The village of Lofthus has over 500,000 fruit trees. Apples, pears, plums,
and cherries. It was a splendid way to end our stay in Bergen.
We arrived at the Trondheim airport in the rain. Then Off to find our B&B. Now that was a
challenge, we had to stop and ask directions a number of times and everyone just kept saying
a kilometer further, which end up being 7 km. My first impression of the B&B was what have I
got us into. The place is charming and the building we are staying in was remodelled a year
ago. It was originally used for storing dried food. The owners are most accommodating and
treat you like family.
