If you are visiting Bergen it is a really good idea to take the funicular to the top of mount Floyen – there are some nice walks up there and the view is amazing. you should choose a bright day to take this tour -so you will see as far as you can.

This is a great Italian restaurant at Barcelona, really close to Plaza Catalunya and really close to our hotel (Casanova hotel) – we ate there twice in five days – good food, great service and prices are really ok.

Address:

Ronda Universitat, 31, local 2

When visiting Halifax at Nova scotia you should spend a few hours at the citadel, it is a really great way to explore the city history and learn about it more, many guides there will be happy to talk to you. every hour you can see the guards change and at noon there is a canon firing to tell the city it is exactly 12:00

 

 

while in Barcelona we stayed at Casanova by Rafael Hotel, located at Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, 559 (which is about 5 minutes walk to plaza Catalunya. the rooms are really big considering it is close to the center, and they were clean and very comfortable to stay at.

 

During our trip to Alaska we stayed mainly at B&B’s and we enjoyed it very much – most of them were really good (much better than your average hotel room) and meeting the people was great.

One bed & breakfast which we really enjoyed was the one in Homer (Homer itself is a great city as well with great views and tons of activities – so make sure you stay there for a few days) – we stayed 3 nights at a cabin at Maria’s Majestic view B&B.

The view was amazing (see below – taken at 1AM) , Maria was super nice, the cabin was great and breakfast was excellent (especially on the day Maria cooked and we had some really cool stuff like the Alaskan pancake (see below).
