the mister found us this sweet little b&b for our weekend in bergen and boy did we feel the pinch in norway! other options in our budget were youth hostels and having been there done that five years ago (okok my last time was march 2012 in NYC when i was picking the wedding dress!) it's become a last resort now. guess we're in that sweet spot where we've more spending power (well relative to when we were working part-time as undergrads) and more time than ever. family commitments are miles away in singers (oh the sheer luxury of having weekends entirely to ourselves!) and it's this wonderful period of self-indulgence where it's us against the world, free to skip the country at our whim and fancy. but back to the b&b! so norway is crazy expensive and we paid through our noses to sleep on a sofa bed in a tiny room. granted, the b&b oozed eclectic charm and was impeccably turned out. you could've eaten off the floors if you'd wanted to. it was that clean :) so if anyone is looking for a b&b in bergen, this is a good value one-roomer. also, i did not stop balking at the price of things. i mean, GBP50 for 1 soup and 2 beers?! are you kidding me?! and GBP10 for a kebab?! wertttt... haha as you can tell, we didn't really have much haute gastronomy in bergen. the b&b hostess did give us a feast every morning, and in true budget fashion i packed the extras into sandwiches for lunch. and we'd a junk food (read: inexpensive) dinner. so there. bergen on a budget, or not.
