Fisketoget (The Fish Market)

Located in the center of Bergen next to the Harbor, fishermen sell plenty of fresh fish and seafood, and you can even buy live fish. A very unique place.

The Top of Bergen

What a neat experience. I rode this trolly car to the top of one of the seven mountains that surround Bergen, The view was incredible. I met a young girl from China on the car, and we talk a little bit and took each other's picture,

Fishing

One of my favoriate pastimes! My host brother and his friend took me fishing from the oceanshore. We fished from a lookout point that was used by the Germans during the Second World War.

Luck!

We didn't have much luck until my father from the US called me on my cell phone. While trying to answer my cell phone, I reeled in the line very fast, and what do you know, I caught a fish and reeled it in as I talk with my father.

I was very glad to have caught a fish. We took it home, seasoned it, and cooked it!
