Arrived in Bergen. Large harbor and pretty town. Rode a funicular up to the top of a mountain for a great view. Found a 135 year old brewery for dinner and a tasting. Great day now for some sleep

Today we walked to a fishing and whaling museum, had lunch and then headed to the cruise ship. Rooms remind mevof dive boats , efficient. Dinner was very good and lots ofvinformation. We arecheading out . this ship carries cargo, ferries car and passengers. We will make about 30 steps and actually most will be very brief. I wonder how noisy unloading cargo will be at 3:30 am?Read more

Trondheim

Pulled into harbor at 10 am and had a bus tour of town. Visited the most northern gothic cathedral in Europe. The last photo is of a bike lift. You put your right foot against a thing that looks like a starting block and it attachescto a cable to push you up the hill. Very different. Also went through a round about underground in one of the many tunnels.Read more

Under a bridge

We traveled up a narrow strait and then went under a bridge with only 6 feet of clearance. Then a hard right turn to try and stay hidden behind the island. Nice sunset. Now actually crossing some open seas and just a bit rally.Read more

Long haul to this area. Well within the artic circle but not much snow. I always thought it would be all ice up here but gulf stream keeps it a bit warmer. I did find the smallest bar and the farthest north brewery.Read more
