Norway - Bergen

This colorful and lively city is one of those I look forward to when we go North. Maybe it's because after seeing the life off the city in Norway, you just feel so immersed that seeing a place full of people, shops, traffic and food seems sooo surprising.

This was the only Norwegian city I've been to but I love it!

We went off early and were so happy of the weather! This is quite a good exercise from the terminal - around 1-km walk.


The flowers are in full bloom and walking farther, we met the Bryggen again!


This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the must-see places in Bergen. It's historical, colorful and just amazingly preserved that everytime I go past it, I can't help but take pics for the nth time! Haha




I haven't told you that the reason we went out was to eat Bergen pizza which we always do when we visit. But then, the call to the city fell on a holiday sooo, change of plan as the pizza parlor was closed (we actually waited for 10 am then 11 am but still no).




Actually, before going back to check if it was open, we went to the food market just a few walks away. We were thinking of trying the mouth-watering seafood they serve but then, we ended going back to Bergen Pizza which we later on realized to be still closed.




I was kind of happy because opposite it, there was a sausage corner that I have been planning to try as I was eating my pizza on our last Bergen call. And viola! I just fulfilled it! I ate a Norwegian sausage. Mind you it's not your ordinary sausage - it's Reindeer sausage!!! And it was goood! Woaah!



We were eating along the way to a deli cafe we just saw when we went to the market earlier. We had an unexpected discovery - they actually sell noodles! And rice boxes! And they just have best-tasting coffee flavors from the vendo!!!





We were on our way back and saw Bryggen again. This time, we explored it inside! See, my first time to go up and really felt how old the structure was!



So, that's how we spent the few hours we had. It was not according to plan and that was the fun part!

Albay Summer Adventure! (Part 4)

We woke up with the birthday boy cooking for us. Haha. Supeer thanks! We shared the table with a solo traveller actually. He has toured around the globe and I was super amazed!

Anyway, our last day's spent in the market. It was situated at the terminal opposite Pacific Mall.  Buses that take you to various parts of Luzon are waiting for passengers here.

the Central Terminal

We bought souvenir shirts and pouches as well as their very popular pili delicacies then went back to the hostel to check out.


reminds me so much of a Japanese animated film
We ate lunch at Pares King before heading to the airport for our 3 pm flight.

at Pares King!
this is lunch! :)

 And look who bid goodbye as we waited for boarding time!


what a view!
Thank you Mt. Mayon:)
