A litle update from Bergen

Hey folks, it's been a while sins I last posted something her. My excuse?? I don't have any, but time flies, work and family are really the only thing I use my time on.

In the last month, allot of things has happen. At work it's allot to do and I was offered a trainee job, I'm going to bee at a different office for some months. It's so nice to get more experience; it will give me a better chance when I apply for other positions at my work place.

On the private part, every thing goes just great. Our little princes are growing and the 14th of June she is One year. She is the most beautiful little thing and she gives us allot of joy, last mount she also start using her feet's for standing on, and she is now up and around every where.

Yes I've also taken allot of pictures, but most of them is family and princes. But of curs now & then I take others too.
The following pictures is from the last moth

I thing I've don this before, Panorama from the mount Fløyen

And her is one fore Kyle & Svet in Russia. Our submarine navy force is in these days 100 year, and for that reason, submarines from other countries come visiting. This one is a Russian submarine. It isn’t that many years ago, this would be impossible.

Then the last one, is just some beautiful Norwegian nature

Bergen pictures, hiking the mount Fløyen

Today we went for a long walk. We started by taking the Fløibanen up to mount Fløyen, one of the 7 mountains surrounding Bergen. After taking allot of pictures we walked down and on the way we stopped for even more pictures....

Our home is down there some where.

And my workplace is down there :-)

This is the note for the Bergen song, i think..

A little panorama picture of bergen

As i say earlier, we used the Fløibanen up to the top, Fløibanen is a funicular who is taking tourists an the ones who is living in the hill side up and down. This wheel was change some years ago and was the main wheel for running the funicular.

We are now allmoust down in city again, and on the way there is a old firestation (Skansen Brannstasjon) overlooking the city.

Bergen history lesson..

Vikings..
Yes we are the Vikings, and we are always ready....

Noo. I'm just joking.

This one is a replica from one of the many ships we had. It was working by sail or by rowing.

It's named after the King Haakon Haakonsson

In the front, they always put some creatures to scare of the enemy

This one is not a Viking.

Here name was "Madam Felle" and in the old days she had a bar/pub where people could come and get drunk..

At the bottom of the statue it shows how they believe it was

Back to old history again.

This is the place of the first woman hospital (st. catherine's hospital)

And now at the end we are entering the Bryggen Museum (Harbor museum)

This is from the old old parts, who was burned down in year 1170

Her is items from excavation and from old buildings in Bergen

Thise one shows toys.

On the right you kan see a early model of a ice skate, there is allso a ball and some other stuff.

This is a model of the old Bergen around year 1200 - 1300

around year 1300 Bergen was a trading center of European importance. The city had between 5 and 10,000, maybe about 7,000 inhabitants, and was clearly the largest and most important in the country. In European standards was a averige big city.

This is one of the Norwegians Kings (Magnus Lagabøte), in old old days Bergen was the capitol of Norway and the place the Kings ruled the country

Thise one shows the clothing and work/home

This was all for now, hope you found it interesting.
