How much is that in pounds?: The clichés are true

There are two things everybody tells you when you move to Norway: 'beautiful country...expensive', normally using precisely only those three words. I am not going to say anything to the second part now beyond that I actually think some things aren't too expensive (cinema tickets, for instance, are virtually the same as in the UK), but that yes you can pay 140 kroner for soup here, which is very roughly £15 - although I think we've only seen that once in a museum.

On the first part though, everything is true in the most glorious way. The old, not particularly hilarious, joke about Bergen goes that a tourist arrives in Bergen and it does nothing but rain, so she asks a boy if it always rains here. 'I don't know', he replies "I'm only 13". However, on the 105 days of the year where it doesn't rain (on average it rains 260 days a year), this is what you can find literally 7 minutes above the city:

And then you come to the fjords. Even on an overcast, coolish day they just don't disappoint: basically some of the most stunning nature I've ever seen, which my small camera does not do justice to.
