Bergen, Norway

My Denmark-blogging is over (for now), it's time to continue where we left off in Norway.
We visited Trondheim and the Lofoten Islands, and now Bergen.

Bergen is the second-largest city in Norway (after Oslo). It has a population of 390,600.
The city center and northern neighborhoods are located on Byfjorden and the city is built
around the Seven Mountains.

The row of traditional wooden, colored houses are called Bryggen.
We went by cable-car on top of the Fløyen mountain which gave us panoramic views
of the city ♥.

Love,

This Week's Fabulosity: MICHAEL Michael Kors


I can never resist stopping and trying on Michael Kors' bags in front of the
mirror to see how every color matches my outfit whenever I see them in a
store. And their 'Hamilton' tote is one of my favorites.

From cobalt to cornflower, blues ruled this season's runways, and MICHAEL
Michael Kors' bold turquoise tote is a super chic way to tap the tonal trend.
Luxe gold hardware and subtle structure lend this leather piece polish.



Carry it with neutrals - think a white tee and beige trench coat - for
round-the-clock cool. Other 'Hamilton' bags:

French Madame in Denmark - Part II

Carrot Cake with Mascarpone & Hot Chocolate

Copenhagen

After the long shopping street, we were searching for a place to sit and indulge
in our sweet tooth and we found the perfect hot spot to relax and stare
politely look at Danish men.

I ordered a carrot cake which was the most amazing, incredibly spiced cake!
And a hot chocolate called varm chokolade in Danish.

We took a taxi boat to go from one place to another, and these are the sights
I spotted from the boat:

The Museum of National History, Copenhagen

Copenhagen, Denmark


Like the Netherlands, Denmark is a country where everybody bikes so I loved
seeing a Dutch bike in Copenhagen:

Though I've learned that Danes are not religious, they do have some impressive
churches. This is the Church of Our Savior. You can walk all the way to the top.

At the end of our day in Copenhagen, we visited the psychology faculty and
dined & danced the night away. All in all, a perfect day in Copenhagen! ♥

The Danish countryside in Rødby, Lolland:

At the congress, each European country participating served traditional
food & drink of their own country. We served Gouda cheese, oranje bitter drink,
and stroopwafels (caramel-filled waffle cookies) which everyone went crazy for!

We wore red, white & blue flag dresses which men everyone seemed to enjoy.
