the morning of Saturday, August 14 we continue the journey, to Bergen.
We camp just outside the city and set off immediately for a visit when you are around the 12.
Bergen also does not strike me too much, a normal city, not typical of Oslo, the only things worth visiting are the famous Bryggen, UNESCO World Heritage Site.
These typical wooden houses in the port area are completely skewed and distorted because of an explosion in the past to the port, the positive side is that you can go freely from the outside, but also in the narrow alleyways, one can also climb on balconies and into the attic! The downside is, of course, have arisen restaurants, bars and shops that enjoy the ground floor of part structures.
But a visit there is ...
disappointment was the rather famous fish market, a small rectangle of about ten meters on each side, where there is fish, fruits and more. I had imagined largest and most characteristic but did not seem very different from our markets in the square.
city Let's go to the aquarium, but the cost of the ticket brings us to the cravings, so we decide to try to see a pretty weird little church out of town.
arrive on site and we have to do a little 'round the ocean to figure out exactly where to go, but do not try to ask for information we are given a great help. Eventually we parked and try the road that seems most plausible, four steps and we arrived.
The church is surrounded by a knitted wire mesh and, again, it pays to enter. Fortunately, the place stands alone, surrounded by a grove, Therefore, even when standing outside the fence we can see and photograph the entire structure.
From the photos seen on the road seemed much bigger and imposing, but the sizes are quite small, but the building is unique and embroidery abound.
I do not particularly excited, but even I'm sorry, I remember taking a few photos and then we'll go.
We spent a mini market and then returned to the campsite.
A quick shower (always paid) and we start immediately in the kitchen, eat quickly and return to Bergen to board the Fløibanen, which should enjoy a nice view over the city and coast, sunset.
configure your browser, but soon we are going "a nose" on a steep street really close to the point that we need to do more maneuvers in the hairpin to bend!
uncertainty continue until the end of the road, here we ask information to young people who are confirming that we have to park and walk for 10 minutes.
then leave the car, take backpacks and tripods and we set off.
The "ten minutes" norvegiesi are as usual more, and after 20-30 minutes we arrive at the summit, where, by the arrival of the funicular, there is a broad overview of steps.
The protective glass height bust does not leave much space to the compositions, so it fits better with a few test shots and await the right light.
The conditions are not bad, the rays of sunlight filter in between the clouds and flashes when one of them hits a patch of grass in the foreground, both me and John we pounce on the shutter button!
As the light fades, fades away the heat of the air, leaving room for a pretty cool breeze.
We look forward to photograph the lights of the city during the blue hour.
This time we are not the only photographers present, probably due to the presence of the cable car, and then comfort to be able to get to the top without hard work, other photographers and not fitted with stands, stand next to us.
When the time is good, a haze begins to decline in some areas of the city, making the scene more palatable. We make several shots, then when the hour is late now, we start to descend, and, almost out of spite, the mist is flushed from the city lights, creating other photographic find everything.
few minutes and we already arrived at the car, then back to camp and we tucked into sleeping bags for the last time in a tent.
Now, do not think bad, I forgot to put photos, it's just that, mysteriously, have been lost!
I am sure you have downloaded on the laptop of John (where to download it As the photos to make room on the memory card) and having reviewed the days after, then during the last days of the trip, I realized that there were photos, and those memories, both from the "right".
I tried to do a search on the entire hard drive but nothing. I do not know what happened and fortunately I'm not the best photos, but some that I liked enough yes, really a pity!
