We arrived in Bergen at what would have been the Midwest equivalent of 3a.m., and after marveling at a simultaneously unusual and honest bathroom sign, we all jumped right into a couple of walking tours of Edvard Grieg's home (Troldhaugen) and the Fantoft Stave Church, and took a quick motorcoach tour of the "old" Bergen. We're all working hard at fighting off the temptation of jetlag to all go up to our respective rooms and pass out for 7 hours! Luckily the air is brisk, the sun is shining, and the exuberance of the Bergen locals in anticipation of Syttende Mai all work wonders to keep the tiredness at bay!
