Sipping my last few drops of tea, I watched the landscape change outside the airplane's window from white puffy clouds to an emerald patchwork of meadows and mountains. Butterflies of excitement fluttered in my stomach as I thought about the new city and country that my sister and I were going to discover: The city of Bergen with a population of 253, 260, on the SW coast of Norway was the starting point for our trip. Bergen is the 2nd biggest city (and warmest due to the Gulf Stream) in Norway, with Oslo as the capital and biggest city. The vermicular was one of our 1st experiences in Bergen.
