Notes
We have two cats:
😺 Mikki, has her own entrance and will only require food and fresh water once a day. She likes to sleep and cuddle, but hates belly rubs! (She will let you know if you try! 😁)
😺 Jiji, born in May 2024, is not allowed outside before spring 2025. Until then her litter box needs to be cleaned out every other day. She looooves belly rubs!

Getting to my home
From the airport to our house the easiest is to take a taxi (costs about 700-800 kroner). It is also possible to take a bus from the city center, but there are only a few routes that go to our neighborhood. The bus stop is 100 meters from our house.
Nearest airport
Bergen airport is 25 minutes from our house (by car). By public transport it will take about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Getting around
You will have an electric car at your disposal while staying at our house. The nearest grocery store and restaurants (Italian and Thai) are 2 km from our house. The nearest shopping mall is at Kleppestø, 4 km from our house.
To get to Bergen city, we recommend driving to Kleppestø (8-10 minutes drive). There you can park the car, and take the local boat right in to the city centre (12 minutes across). The boat is 44 kroner per adult, kids up to 18 years go for free when traveling together with an adult.

There are hiking trails just a few minutes from our house. You can hike up to the highest "mountain" on Askøy, Kolbeinsvarden (231 meters high), in about 30 minutes. From here you have a spectacular 360 degree view of Bergen and the surrounding area.
