A Day Out at Akvariet i Bergen – Bergen’s National Aquarium

I am a sucker for a good aquarium, and when asking locals what to do in Bergen, they suggested the national aquarium there. So, Dann and I went along to see what sea life we could spot there. You do enter Akvariet i Bergen through the gift shop, which is a little strange, but then you are presented with three, quite large, outdoor areas for animals. The first – and the one I was most excited about – was the penguins. I love penguins and Dann had never seen them before in real life, so we were in for a treat as they swam around, got quite close to us, and went about their day. These penguins were adorable, and it is so good to see they are out in open air, getting to experience weather.

Wagamamas – Asian food inspired by Japan | Restaurant Review

You know when you are just craving ramen, and you just want to eat some right then and there. Normally, when Dann and I go to Wagamamas, we order a bunch of little bites and split them, as you might notice from most of the places we go, but this time we wanted to get some tasty, tasty ramen! We both got a couple of small items, different ramens and a dessert. Wagamamas is an interesting restaurant, as everything just comes when it’s ready, but the food is always lovely.

Benefits of Growing Cat Grass

Pancake is not an outdoor cat and instead lives inside our house. He is a coward, afraid of the outside world, so he doesn’t really walk into the backyard and if the door is open, he’d much rather stay inside and look out. With that said, out front, he does walk out onto the path to our door and meows at the birds or eats at the grass out there, before running inside if he can’t see a human. Pancake doesn’t love being outside, but sometimes does spend 2 or 3 minutes, supervised, before coming back in. As he seemed to mainly want to eat grass, we figured we’d grow some cat grass for him!
