Today posed its specific challenges with the planned long haul to Bergen we all decided a cooked breakfast was in order. I was breakfast cook for the day so battling over an ancient stove that was slow to heat to cook bacon and eggs, the circuit breaker gives up the ghost enshrouding the kitchen in darkness. Chris tried to alert the night porter who we discovered does not work at night or after hours. Oh dear. She helped herself to a 2 ring camp stove (she still possesses our Kiwi ingenuity. It is in our breeding) which proved to be old and decrepit. I took the goods to the camp cookhouse to make some inroads to breakfast or we would be arriving in Bergen after dark. A team effort by this time had fixed the circuit breaker then it was back on schedule though an hour later. We finally hit the road. The scenery was breathtaking with very little wind so was able to photograph amazing reflections. Just a small selection for you to savour. We decided to book an apartment enroute, which works best for the three of us, as we require 2 bedrooms. On finally reaching Bergen we discovered what we had booked. Harbour Apartments was a dream come true. Absolute waterfront on the 2nd floor. We view the cruise ships and Harbour Bridge. Contemporary to the max. Better than an upmarket hotel. Absolutely gorgeous with all the mod cons and we wouldn’t be overdoing the circuits this time. We would be happy to stay longer but too much to do. Had dinner at a great restaurant on the wharf and feasted on venison and reindeer ( Poor Bambi and Dancer) Chris is looking tired. We are wearing her out. At least she has a lovely bed to sleep in. We crash after photographing an amazing late sunset.
