Thanks for the pictures so far Trefor. It's nice to see Bergen again since I visited the city in the summer of 2008.
Skål!

In Torget (the Market), something you won't see in too many markets!
No doubt this would give some ideas for a full mask sporran!
But lions are only available in bronze.

Trefor, what great pics. Looks like you had a great time. I bet your mum is really proud when she walks out with you in your kilt!

Another view of the Statsraad Lemkuhl and the Rosenkrantz Tower seen from Torget.
Side street just off Kong Oscars Gate.
And a view of part of Kong Oscars Gate.
More information on this stree can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kong_Oscars_gate,_Bergen
King Oscar I was the son of Jean Baptiste Bernardotte and his wife Desirée (née Clary) who were originally French citizens (Bernardotte was one of Napoléons Marshals) and who were elected to suceed the Vaasa dynasty of Sweden. It was he who wrestled Norway from Denmark.

Another look down Kong Oscars Gate.
Bergen Domkirke (Cathedral). Unlike the Stavanger one, this is only open for 2 hours a day and I was too late.
This is Eviann, her dog Pontus and a visiting Japanese friend. I met them in the churchyard behind the Domkirke, they loved the kilt and Eviann captured me singing the Norwegian National Anthem on her camera. She is supposed to be sending me a copy of that soon!

More great photos. "Another Bryggen shot" does bring up a question: How much snow falls in this area? I'd assume quite a bit, from the pitch of the roofs -- but they are so close together, I'd also think a lot of snow would pile up in the "vees" between each building.
Any locals who can comment?
