A walk along Aker Brygge, Oslo in the evening.

Location :
( click image for larger map )
We actually stayed pretty near the harbour area, which was much like the nerve center of most of the shopping and attractions.
Akershus Fortress is not too far a walk, and so is the busy Karl Johans street.

Gamle Bergen / Old Bergen Museum , Stitch of 3
Take in the plentiful rain and wind, I was at a small hill with pavilion opposite.
While asking for directions, we passed by an old man walking 4 little dogs who was so very apologetic for the bad weather in Bergen!

Steep cobbled streets, densely packed wooden houses recreated from since 18th century. While labelled a museum, it is an open air attraction of revived long-ago norwegian private homes to cafes and shops in an idyllic locale. Much more activities and guided tours in summer, it was a *dead town* when we were there. The only other group of visitor was a family + children in raincoats armed with bread crumbs to feed ducks and gulls.

Our To Søstre Guesthouse was more than a kilometre drive.
Probably would have been a great walk along the harbour if weather was more permitting.

Our *guide* in Gamle Bergen
After a few pats, she kept sticking around us whenever we walked within Gamle Bergen, in the rain.

Henningsvær, Lofoten in the evening.

A small traditional fishing village, it is one of the last to be bridged and connected within Lofoten, thus retaining much of its traditional flavoured buildings of the more yester-times.
