midnight sun and more

This hotel is worth writing home about. It is by far the most expensive on the journey. Norway is very expensive anyway, but Bergen is ridiculously costly for accommodation - they kind of have you over a barrel at this end of the world. Jim particularly wanted to stay here because it is the old harbour control building. It is decorated with lush tones of deep purple, leather couches, chandeliers - everything is so, so tasteful. We are very happy to be here for one night. Tomorrow we will look some more around Bergen, then join the Midnatsol for our voyage to the Arctic Circle.

This is the Midnatsol arriving in Bergen for us to board.
