It doesn't get dark in Bergen, Norway in May. Technically, sunset will be around 9:30 p.m. tonight, but the sun will just dip below the horizon — it won't get dark. [Update: woke up briefly at 4 a.m. and it was dark outside.] This picture of the scenic harbor in Bergen was taken at 8:09 p.m. Travel photography is one of my passions, so I went out after dinner to take advantage of the beautiful "afternoon" sun!
So my Norway trip has now officially begun. I'm in my room at First Hotel Marin, a nice four-star hotel with high ceilings, hardwood floors, and a view overlooking the marina. Jetlag has struck. My body is very confused, having being displaced by nine time zones, needing some good sleep after spending last night on an airplane. The solution is to pull the curtains, take a sleeping pill, and hopefully get a full night's sleep.
Much more to come...
