It was a perfect morning with sunshine and moderate temperature, 16 C. I decided to use my training time during office hours (trenning i arbeidstiden) to go for a hike on Mount Fløyen and to explore the surrounding area. I do not know if there is such provision in any other country but in Norway employees can get 2 hours per week for physical training during office hours. It is a very popular activity. As far as I see Norwegians are very health concious people when I compared with people in my home land. I have noticed that irrespective of educational and financial background people do go out and enjoy outdoor activites. Iam displaying 6 pictures taken this morning.
Just to make a note, the day was sunny in the morning now it is typical Bergen weather, cloudy and it might rain though not very much at least thats what the weather forecast says.
I read somewhere that Bergen is the wettest city in Europe, it certainly poured the only time I visited back in April 1990. You were lucky to catch some sunlight. The Norwegian allowance for 2 hours per week for physical training is a great idea other countries could copy.

Hi thanks for visiting my blog and reading my post :). It is much appreciated. Yes we do have lots n lots of rain but recently we were lucky to have some real summer days. It changes human behaviour.
I do agree about these training times. They really help.

I agree – two hours of paid work for physical activity would probably go a long way towards keeping people healthy and reducing absenteeism. Thanks for visiting Beauty Along the Road, which is what brought me here 🙂
