We recently took a trip back home to Shetland. I always tell people to visit Shetland in the summer to catch it in its full glory, however once you’ve caught it in the summer, visit it in winter for a different view.

The Tall Ships continue in Bergen. Waved goodbye to Emma today. She is having to head back to Aberdeen for a resit in one of her exams. Had that been me I would have probably decided the exam wasn’t worth it, possibly the reason I’m not at uni?
Weather has been mixed. Perfect for the fireworks last night (above). Not so good for the parade this afternoon (below).
One thing about Bergen (and I’d imagine Norway and possibly Scandinavia as a whole), it’s very easy to spend lots of money on very little. 2 Cokes the other day at one of the outdoor bars was the equivalent of about 9 pounds. A pint (well, 500ml) of beer and a 500ml of cider came to the equivalent of £13. I recommend Bergen a lot to people, but never to those who I think would go on holiday to drink, can you see why?
Emma slowly drinking the very expensive drink.
