At first, I was a little wary of sharing the apartment with our host, but I'm glad we did. He spoke English well and recommended a lot of places to visit. The first thing he suggested was going to the nearby grocery store and buying a brand of norweigian salmon sashimi called Salma Laks. How did he know I love salmon sashimi! + +We went and brought back groceries for two meals and snacks. We bought two different cuts of salmon sashimi and it was so cheap!! I wanted to buy even more!

To this day I am still craving more Salma Laks. + +![](../images/Bergen/IMG_0596.JPG) + +![](../images/Bergen/IMG_0602.JPG) + +## Day 2 + +After cooking lunch at home we started on a hike up Mount Ulriken (recommended by our Airbnb host).

Instead we came across a blog post called "How to do Norway in a Nutshell on Your Own" [(link)](https://www.earthtrekkers.com/how-to-norway-in-a-nutshell-on-your-own/) and we followed it to get the full Norway fjord experience by driving ourselves. + +![](../images/Bergen/IMG_0739.JPG) + +Our first stop was at Stalheim Hotel.
