Since the beginning of january, the Bybanen is being builded in the whole Bergensdalen. The Sentrum lokks like post-bombed, explosives and drill-digging can be heard everywhere. Here some pictures
from my window. The place is now almost flat, but my camera being fucked, I cannot take and post pictures. The stop being builded here will, of course, be name Fantoft. The ride to town will be at
the average speed of 28 km/h, 21km/h with the bus. Opening in 2010. Now the worst of the building is done, but for 3 months we had to wake up at 5 with the workers and feel several explosions a
day.
After this summer, the station will be built and the tracks will be laid down later. Fun, deviations and shitty road building as well. Holy shit.

On March 5th, Bergen was victim of something familiar to other parts of Norway: a Snøkaos. Massive snowfall, prowlers overbusy, buses stuck in snow of sliding across the streets, people
SNOWBOARDING (!!!) in the streets of Sentrum Bergen!!
View from my window: They had to give up putting this container on the truck...
Three days later, all was gone...
Okay, my sister visiting me, I had to show her other things than Bergen! We left Bergen with 2 Belgian friends under heavy weather to the Sogn. Mountain roads (Rv 13) being closed, we took the E39,
crossed the Sognefjord, and drove along the north shore of it until Balestrand. We stopped a bit there and then joined the place whe we rented a cabin: Sværen, by the Sværenfjorden, arm of the
Fjærlandsfjorden, arm of the Sognefjorden. We had a nice walk in deep snow in the Sværendal, and then went back home to eat! The day after we [tried to] fish and went to the grocery with a boat,
way shorter than by road (and less dangerous!). The afternoon we went to Dale, a farm on the other side of the fjord, just 5km to drive. And the massive snowfall started. And the massive snowfight
started. The day after as quite hard, many driving on heavy and deep snow, no visibility on all the part Hella / Kaupanger. Shit. Then it was a wonderful weather and we went to Borgund where I'had
been back in 2002. CLEAR blue sky, mass snow carpet, perfect to see the stavchurch ! Then, back to Bergen, with a stop at Aurland (Aurlandsvegen) and at Gudvangen. It was a good trip, for around
60€/person, all inclusive.
