The clouds hadn’t lifted in Bergen today by lunchtime. Very glad yesterday was my ‘mountain’ day. A small plane (twin prop, possibly 80 seats) out of Bergen for 1:40 to Bodø. Then a smaller plane (twin prop, possibly 36 seats) and 25 min to Svolvær. I’m now at 68.23 degrees.
I hadn’t given any though to getting to town from the airport but some Americans came to my rescue when my phone wouldn’t let me dial the local equivalent of 13CABS. finally made it to my hotel which is actually a collection of fisherman’s cottages – some original renovated, some reconstructions. Rustic with full kitchen facilities which won’t get used and fairly dark inside despite the lightness outside at nearly 11:30pm. Won’t see the midnight sun from here though – there is a jagged row of hills/mountains close on the N side of town so the sun will be behind there. (Weather permitting, should see it tomorrow night – got an excursion.)
The winter clothes are finally out – though it was the cold wind tonight rather than the actual temperature. Up till then I’d been fine in fleece with short sleeved thermal top and summer weight long pants. Sunny.
Inside my cabin.

We also really enjoyed the Flam and found it very interesting to go below decks. I didnt think Oslo had the right climate for sunbathing au natural! The view from your cabin in your latest post looks stunning. Enjoy! Deb and Ian. PS it hailed in Melbourne today and the car temp gauge said it was 6 degrees. I lasted 15 minutes at streetO before giving up and heading home to hot chocolate.
