After waking this morning in Stavanger and then enjoying a beautiful morning sailing North to Bergen on calm waters (with me very grateful for having survived the night) we were all keen to get off the ferry and go explore Bergen but unfortunately the planned aire was completely full and so we had to go on to the back-up campsite which was a bit further out of Bergen.

We weren't too sure when we arrived as it looked like we were staying behind a petrol station but there was a real treat in store as we drove behind the petrol station and parked up overlooking Lake Haukeland and the sun came out.... yesterday's storm seemed a world away and we couldn't bring ourselves to head back into Bergen. Daniel got out his Seahawk and Dad and Megan squeezed in and off they rowed to the little island whilst I sat in the sunshine and appreciated dry land..... A wonderful first afternoon in Norway!
