Whenever I asked anyone at home where in Norway I should go, the first place everyone replied was BERGEN. I didn't understand how this little city could have won the hearts of so many. Then I got off the ferry and had major heart eyes the entire time!
Bergen reminds me of home, people living at the bottom of the mountain and right on the water. I didn't feel like a tourist as I wandered the streets, it just felt like I was at home, which I seriously LOVED!
I'd sit in the restaurants, walk through the streets, and look in stores and the locals would speak to me in Norwegian which was so dreamy! Except I couldn't understand what they were saying, so I'd just nod politely and hope I gave the right answer. All the waiters would ask where in Norway I was from and when I told them I was Australian, they were so shocked! They thought I was Norwegian! (Not that I'm complaining!)
Hiking and getting lost the mountains every day was so surreal! Drinking Norwegian Solo (I'm having withdrawals) surrounded by trees, and birds, and people that soaked in every opportunity to be outdoors was so refreshing after just finishing my uni semester!
