Back to my updates on summer travels – it is fun to look back at all that I did in such a short time!
So, our last stop in Norway was Bergen. We took another ferry from Belastrand to Bergen. It was a fairly chilly ride, so we stayed inside for most of this one. Plus, the joy of seeing the fjords was lessened after taking it all in the day before.
Bergen was by far the coldest place we visited despite going through snowy mountains. Since it is a harbor town, the sea winds blew in during the late afternoon to drop temperatures, so we were not as keen to be out in it for too long. Therefore, most of my souvenir shopping happened here. 😀
Bergen’s street shops are quite famous in photos – maybe you’ve seen them before and are just as picturesque in person.
J and I walked around the town exploring. It’s not a big city, but a good size town that took us about two hours to walk around. Then, we took the funicular up to the top of the hill, which many people like to walk (crazy!), for a view of the area. It is quite beautiful to see.
We had a pretty good time and ate a really nice meal here, but we were definitely happy to skip out on the cold!
Here are all the pics from Belastrand to Bergen:
More to come,
