Bergen
is the second city of Norway, and a proud and unique town on the west coast
of Norway. It was founded in 1066 and was part of the german Hanseatic league
from the 14th to 18th centruries. The bryggen harbour area is on the UNESCO
World Heritage list

Although it is on an island, there is a bridge across to the mainland, and as so often, it is not obvious when you are on an island or the mainland. Distance from Stavanger: 170 km |

The
Tall Ships Races for 2008 begin in Liverpool England - the (EU) European
Capital of Culture for 2008, leaving on 21 July. Bergen was one of a number of Capitals of Culture in 2000. Stavanger will be the (non-EU) European Capital of Culture in 2008, but it will not be an "Open Port" to tall ships - they will sail straight past on their way to Den Helder. Kids Verdict: This should be fun to watch for a while - especially getting on board some of the ships. Hopefully there will be other activities - like letting them make their own wooden tall ships, as in 2004 Tall Ships Race in Stavanger (from which some of the pictures come).
