Hiking with the kids - and Nils

It was one of those beautiful sunny Sundays that Bergen is NOT known for, so we decided to take the family on a hike to Ulriken. One of the many mountains peaks surrounding Bergen. 

We had also met up with some of our friends and their kids so it was quite the group that headed up the mountain early afternoon.

Unfortunately my big plans to finally “conquer” Ulriken faded after we spent too much time having lunch by a quaint mountain lake. However, the kids loved hanging out there playing and even swimming in the cool water. The grown-ups too had a nice time relaxing, hanging out in the sun and drinking freshly brewed coffee prepared over open flame…. 

At some point Nils realized that he had been watching enough people ascend  up to the peak and that he would get nowhere with us so he took off by himself with my camera to prove he made it to the top…

I’m just hoping the sun is shining next weekend as well so I too can climb my way to the top!

 Bergen is great guys!

Me and Alvin. Not even 4, and a great hiker!

Can life be better?

August (my middle one) after a swim. Coooold 
water, but he loved it!  The only adult swimming was 
Viking Marius (our old neighbor). Can you see him?

A great view of the city from the restaurant on Ulriken.

And a comfy way up and down for those who 
are too lazy to walk!
