Up the funicular to Mount Fløyen in Bergen this evening to see the fireworks to celebrate the Tall Ships being in town. Surprisingly it wasn’t as busy as I thought it would be, given the clear views that it provided.

The Tall Ships have started to arrive in Bergen ahead of the event starting tomorrow, and so far perfect weather for it.
There is always an atmosphere in Bergen, but it seems to be particularly good this weekend.
I’ll update my blog over the next few days with some photos of the event.

We’ve been in Norway since Sunday now, and a few days back we were treated to an Eric Clapton concert at the Bergenhaus. We and 20,000 other folk.
Honestly, I’m not the greatest connoisseur of Eric Clapton songs. I know the hits and that is about it. Despite that and that Eric isn’t a man of many words, it was a fantastic concert in a lovely location. Even if it had been rubbish, the live version of Layla would have made up for it.
Just one downside to it all. I now want to come back in a couple of weeks for the Neil Young concert at Bergenhaus. And a couple of weeks after that for REM. Don’t think it’s going to be possible.
