Sore

Alright so Day 2 in Bergen. Yeah good times. I swear I stretched before going to bed, but it didn't feel like it in the morning. My hips KILLED, well actually just every muscle in my legs, some that I didn't even know existed. So we grabbed our stuff, checked out of the hostel, and went to the grocery store to pick up our apples of the day. I ate two apples every morning, it was great. That is when Kathleen upon her new treat, it's basically a bueno in a tube. It's chocolate/hazelnut spread, and yeah she didn't really spread it on anything, just ate it out of the tube. Well actually to be fair, it was first spread on bread, but later that was ignored. It was sick. Jenna was all into it too. I did not even try it, I dislike hazelnut. But with our food, we took the bus down to the city centre, put our bags in a big locker, and started to explore all that was Bergen.

Since this time we started out in the city centre, we understood it more, and it is a really nice place. Of course there is a 7-11 on every street corner, as well as MacDonalds and Burger King, but it was really nice. Kathleen wanted to see the fish market, so we went there first, but I did not go in. Well I stepped in, sniffed, and ran out. The smell of fish gets to me. I walked around the area for a few minutes, and met them on the other side. Um Kathleen ate a piece of whale. WHALE! I hit her for it when I found out. Jenna predicted that I would do that. The poor whale!
After that we walked to the fortress thing, but it was closed, as was everything in Bergen. We stopped and sat watching the harbour for a few minutes. We saw St. Mary's church, the oldest building in Bergen, some statues, some memorial thing for the first ship to leave Norway and go to Chicago.

Of course then it started to rain, so we went to the Apple Store to check out e-mail. As I was doing that, Jenna and Kathleen started to watch the Mighty Boosh. Amazing. I stopped what was doing to watch, but yeah it ended up with us laughing in the middle of the store. Wonderful.

We walked so much that day, and every step was really painful. It was so funny. We walked up to the Cathedral, just for it to be closed. It was up on a hill of course. That was a funny trip up the hill. Every step hurt. Going down was no better than going up. How horrible.

After the Cathedral, we went to a pub for a few hours, it was cold and rainy, and we were sore, so we sat and talked for a while. We are getting way too comfortable in England, I mean we need somewhere to rest, and our first thoughts is a pub. Amazing.

That's about it for Bergen, we had dinner, and caught the 11pm train back to Oslo. I slept the majority of it. I was gone before the ticket guy came around, I hear he was not pleased. I had my reference number in my hand, but I just fell asleep. I woke up to find my receipt on my lap, hahah. Oh well.

Bergen was amazing, I had a wonderful time there. There was some amazing views, and I was soo glad I went. Norway is just a wonderful place.
