Overlooking Bergen from Mt. Fløyen.

Trolls seem to be very popular in Norway, so in order to make lots of friends, I brought the largest troll I could find. (Top of Mt. Fløyen)

The oldest part of Bergen is a small area of wooden buildings known as Bryggen. Bryggen was owned and used by the Hanseatic League from the 13th through the 18th centuries as a major trading port. From here, Norweigan fish, skins, and butter were traded for wine and grain from Britian and Germany.

Another view of Bryggen with Mt. Fløyen (near) and Mt. Ulriken (far, with tower on top) in the background.

Art exhibit at the Bergen Museum depicting a traditional Scandanvian myth in individual frames (like a comic book) that wrapped around the room.

Torget Fish Market along the Bergen waterfront - the best deal in town! You can get a fresh seafood sandwhich and some fruit, etc.. for only about $5 US (in general, food in Scandanavia is fairly expensive).
