Présentation de l'éditeur
March joth. We went to the Hancock Museum in this town, and I dont think Ive ever been fascinated so much by stuffed birds as I have been to-day. The Falcons were particularly good. We also saw there the collection of Bewick swood-cuts, and some original drawings by him. The boat leaves from North Shields at six oclock in the afternoon. A pril ist. Arrived in Bergen this morning in beautiful weather, but after a rough passage, very hungry, since we both had eaten nothing after leaving Shields; and what I we ate there didnt last us long. I dont think I ever had a worse 36 hours in my life. Bergen is a large town, larger than Trondhjem, but I dont like the shops so much. We listened to the music in the gardens there for the greater part of the morning. We saw the first Eider Ducks coming up the fiord. In the evening we went to the Eldorado Music Hall, and left by the Olaf Kyrre a boat in which I had been to Hammerfest two years ago at 12 oclock at night. t April 2nd. To-day we have both got our sea-legs, but the weatheris beastly, snowing and blowing, and the hills all around Bergen are covered with snow. Passed A alesund, and in the night, Molde.
