Our return after many years to the western Norwegian city of Bergen starts and ends with some rain. In between we managed to get half a day of perfect sunshine during which we took the cable car up one of the hills overlooking this jewel of a city and after taking in the tremendous views we thoroughly enjoyed our walk down through the trees back to the old town and the gaggle of tourists.
By Saturday evening we were making our way on foot from Hotel Neptun to our nearby home for the next week, the Hurtigruten ship, Richard With. After checking out Richard and settling in, we left Bergen on time and began our epic journey up the west coast of Norway; a trip we had been targeting for several years.
Now just how many islands are there as we snake our way north? How cold will it be up here? How old are our fellow travellers? How can people live in this climate? What do the locals do all day? Is the scenery as powerful as we had heard?
