Bergen

Having read about weather in Bergen, I arrived by bus at the central lake, dressed in jeans, a lightweight fleece and a fully water proof jacket. After all, it's known as The City of Rain. Armed with a street map, my camera bag and my suitcase, my first stop was here, to remove the fleece and the waterproof. and search inside the suitcase for the sun-cream.

A joke is told in Bergen about a tourist asking a local boy if it ever stops raining. "I don't know, replies the boy, I'm only twelve." Another story is told,that horses were frightened when they saw a man without an umbrella.
