What can I say, after you get over the sticker shock, Bergen is fun. The weather is warm and I have sun on my back as I sit in the cockpit of Nokomis. We are in the harbor, right in the center of town. Lots of people walking by, checking out our boat, asking questions about the passage over. Tom likes to act as if he has done it all, but if asked point-blank will admit to not doing the Atlantic passage. He just read Joseph Conrad's "Typhon' so now we call him First Mate Jukes.
I am happy we stocked up on food in Scotland. Being so close to everything we can head out for adventure, come back to the boat to eat and then head out again. No expensive restaurant splurges for us in Norway. Besides the fjord, Bergen is surrounded by seven mountains so once you leave the harbor area, everything is a climb.
