Very good Bergen tips!
Nice page of Bergen and a concert with music of Grieg in Troldhaugen is a great idea. Thank you.
Very well done page on Bergen. The harbor pict is my favorite.
Cool photos Ken! Nice information too! I didn't know that Denmark ruled Norway for a while. Did you try the Lutefisk?
Love the gazebo, Ken! Looks romantic. A train with automobile wheels? Interesting!
