bergen

I'm in Bergen today through Tuesday for a conference. Bergen is beautiful, and makes Oslo look like crap. Oslo wasn't really pretty before, but after seeing this town, I can say that it's downright unattractive. There was some great night scenery as I took a taxi to the hotel, so even though I got in at 11:30pm, I went out and took some pictures for about half an hour, mainly of the bay. And although I brought my computer with me, I didn't bring the little cord that connects it to my camera, so I can't post any of the results right now.

I took the train here, incidentally, because the airport staff are on strike. It's about a 6-7 hour ride, because Norway doesn't have any high-speed trains. I think the London-Paris bullet train covers the same distance in about an hour.
