I started my journey from London and traveled via Amsterdam to Norway. I was sitting next to an old couple returning to Bergen who said that I was probably looking at Norway out of my aircraft window at this time.



I got out of the airport and cleared customs real quick - my bag had not been transferred from my previous flight from London and would be following on, I hoped :|

I arrived in Bergen after a 30 minute bus ride and asked this chap where I could find a ferry, but he didn't know ;)



My first real impression of Norway came when the plane was on it's approach run. It was the many brightly coloured houses, all different shapes, nestled on the mountain sides, a few you can see behind this gentleman. Now it was Bergen itself that impressed me, it's harbour and all different types of buildings.

I spent a little time around the harbour area whilst waiting for my ferry and was lucky enough to watch a boat evacuation drill take place.

I was struck by how quaint it all was, not much traffic, friendly people, very relaxed, no hurry, time passing slowly.

Oh great! I found the ferries! (Did you expect something from the 1930's :) )

This ferry could move I can tell you, as it sped towards Moon's island :p

The views along the way were breathtaking



But the ferry didn't take me to Moon's island. In the dark I had to find another ferry, a little slower, that would take me out to that strange little island of hers ;) After changing ferries, I took a bus out to that island, crossing bridges on the way. Finally, I came to the end of my journey, where a lone figure stood with a light in her hand to greet me. I stepped off the bus and there she was :) I had reached Moon ;)

The Moon just a few minutes ago :)

My journey to find Moon has ended, since I found her. But it only just begins on my first full day in her islands, the journey to find the real Moon still awaiting.

I woke up a little disorientated, wondering what this strange apartment I was in. I got out of bed and stood up naked, wondering where my pajamas were. Oh yes, my bag is still not connecting with that 'plane in Amsterdam :| , I arrived with nothing but my camera and a bunch of flowers; a gentleman should always present lady Moon with flowers when first meeting ;). I could see it was light outside, and this is the view that met me when I opened the curtains. I felt amazed, it was breathtaking, a view from many beautiful memories, a painting on the other side of the window :) It may not seem much, but it is a view I will never forget ;)
