BERGEN, ALESUND

We've arrived in Norway after a sea day. Norway has a problem with fire, both of these towns have burned down. Alesund, which means the sound with eels, was totally rebuilt in 1905ish and is all art deco. The buildings look like they are outlined in black. Norway has $100 billion oil revenues, taxed at 50% - that's $10 thousand each for the 5million population, inc children. Good eh! Pretty bleak when it's raining & it rains 240 days per year. Saw the NATO naval base yesterday, built under a mountain, protected by massive blast proof doors. You can sail ships & subs straight in. Just getting ready for a boat trip around the fjord. Hope weather picks up.
