Bergen downtown city map.

Bergen has 250,000 inhabitants and is Norway's second largest city. Our condominium is right above no. 4 – Hilde's High School Tanks is by no. 10 – The University of Bergen campus is stretched out in the lower right corner – Lars's and Zeljka's Humanities Faculty building is to the left of no. 24 (HF-bygget).

Some photos from the cabin and the village of Oppheim (various seasons), 350 m above sea level (mountains up to 1,200 m, and in the winter a lot of snow and often minus 10–20 Celsius, no Gulf Current here, like in Bergen...):

Oppheim: 125 km inland, east of Bergen, between two major fjords: The Sognefjord (to the North) and the Hardangerfjord

This is how Oppheim looks this week; view from near our cabin.
