Journey from Paris to Bergen, and other stuff...
We arrived, a friend and I, in Bergen last friday in the evening, after almost one week of travel throught Germany and Danemark. Here my trip report. You can access the concerned albums by clicking on the pics.
Saturday 21th: Paris > Solingen (Ger). Evening-hike in Solingen.
Sunday 22th: Solingen > Laboe (Near Kiel, Germany). Visit of the Laboe Memorial.
Monday 23th: Laboe > Jelling. We first stopped at Heikendorf near Laboe to see another memorial. Then we visited Kolding, Vejle and Jelling in Denmark.
Tuesday 24th: Jelling > Vigsø (near Hanstholm). I used only little roads. We stopped at the old Viking settlement, Fyrkat, near Hobro. Then we visited the old Viking graveyard called Lindholm Høje in Aalborg. Then we stopped at Aggersund to visit another Viking fortress, Aggersborg. We finally arrived in Vigsø where a complete battery of the Atlantic Wall is bathing into the North Sea.
Wednesday 25th: We stayed in Vigsø/Hansholm to visit a big fortress from WWII, again. This was the biggest European fortress at this time.
Thursday 26th: We visited another battery south to Hanstholm and waited for our ferry which was 4 hours late... he left Denmark at 4 AM the day after. Because of an engine problem we landed at Haugesund and drove until Bergen. We arrived at Fantoft, one of the Bergen student Hostels, friday 27th in the evening.
Thanks to the good Pierre (take a look to his blog Camembert in my links) we had somewhere to sleep: he hid is key in a secret place for us. Thanks to him again...
