    Bergen Day 2

    July 25, 2024 in Norway ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    What a fun day. It started with a "free'" breakfast at the hotel. Now, this isn't the US version of free breakfast. This is a feast. From there we did a 3 hour fjord cruise. We saw some beautiful sights from the boat. However, the topper on the day (pun intended) was a trip up to the top of Mount Floyen. We took the funicular up and walked the really steep 2 miles down. It was raining for most of our time on top and coming down, but it did little to dampen the view or our spirits. We finished with a drink at a bar overlooking the fjord and boats and then dinner at the "fish market". We'll head out for our daily dose of ice cream in a few minutes. Sadly, this will finish Bergen for us. It is a truly charming town with lots of unique and interesting architecture and lots of excellent restaurants. We will miss it.

    Hopefully tomorrow we will have finished adapting to the time difference. We catch each other taking quick cat naps throughout the day.
