Busy but fabulous day. Went into Bergen mid morning and left car to walk around town. Spontaneously got a pair of fab leather boots (excuse: don't have anything waterproof!) which got their first outing today. Bergen seems a bit more culturally diverse than Oslo. Saw more ethnic minorities than we have in a while. Em decided to go up the mountain first so we made our way to the Floibanen funicular, which goes 320m up Mt Floyen. Very modern glass funicular - great...

Planned to take girls canoeing on Hardangerfjord this morning but felix's accident in the shower room meant we packed up quickly and took him to the doctor in Eidefjord. Seen quickly and no charge! Babe ok and mum reassured. Did some supermarket stocking - j and kids consuming vast amounts of bread and enjoying the Scandinavian meatballs! Drove to Bergen along the scenic route 7, right along the side of Hardangerfjord for most of the way and included our first ...

Jason made a lovely breakfast this morning of scrambled eggs and the chorizo type sausage that Szilvia had given us. Em and meg played in the playground (of course!) and afterwards we strolled down to the lakeside to jump on rocks and feel how cold the water was - very! The campsite guy had recommended a few walks in the area, most of which weren't doable with the kids, but there was a waterfall that you could either walk or drive to and it was an easy walk, no ...

More rain overnight so not much fun packing up a wet and muddy tent. They've had so much rain here the ground is completely soggy and dissolves into mud. Poor em went to the loo yesterday and slipped, landing on her bottom and was covered in sludge! Is very hard to keep mud and water out if the tent. We had found a brochure that talks about the 'panoramic road' from Oslo to Bergen, up to andalsnes and back down again. We decided to go across rather than around t...

Well let's hope that the sunny day yesterday was not the last we'll see for a while. Today it alternated between rain, drizzle, more rain, and a bit more drizzle. At least we'd done the park yesterday. We decided to drive around to the Bygdoy Peninsula which has most of the museums on it. It took longer than it should have cause ms tomtom has trouble coping with tunnels, and all of oslo's main roads seem to go underground! A very effective way of dealing with mai...
