On into Bergen




Before boarding
our plane at the
Keflavik Airport,
we grabbed
a light meal,


wandered
under
the cod
carcass
lights,








and
passed
the
stone
statues
leading
to
the
airport
gates.



Our flight left about 5:30 PM Iceland time and landed two hours later in Bergen at 9:40 PM Norway time.

After clearing the Flesland Airport security, we proceeded to a wall machine that exchanged American dollars into Norwegian kroner. Each of us six had a go. We discovered American greenbacks without the new see-through faces would not work in this machine. We managed exchanging enough money to pay for FlyBus tickets into Bergen's city center.

When we boarded the bus, the time was well past 10 PM.

The city was ALIVE!

Traffic was backed up.

Pedestrians were active.







Again,

we

wondered:

How?






By the time we arrived at the central station, walked to the hotel, got our room keys and laid down to sleep, we figured the last time we'd been in a bed was 35 hours ago.



We slept in before exploring On into Bergen.
