Bergen, Norway’s second largest city, is a charming port town!
Our fourth morning in Norway dawns bright, sunny, and windy. Both the Viking and I are stunned by how much we’ve seen and how far we’ve traveled in less than a day! Three nights ago we’d just arrived in the country, and now we’re on the west coast after journeying through the Scandinavian mountains and through the fjords.
We spent the morning exploring the city and ended up taking the tram to the top of one of the mountains overlooking the city. What a view!
We had lunch at the seafood market where you pick your fish and they cook it right then and there for you!!! Yummy.
Then it was time to check out and head to the train back to Oslo. In less than an hour, we’re back into the snow-capped frozen tundra. Now, all along this Norway in a Nutshell adventure we’ve been in the same train car with a family of visitors who were from Bangalore, India. None of them had ever seen snow before and the kids have been dying to touch the white fluff. Half-way back to Oslo, we find out that our train engine is needed to rescue another train stranded ahead of us. So, our train stops in the middle of nowhere and we’re informed the wait will be forty-five minutes. OMG, those kids were out of the train in a heartbeat.
Around midnight we make it back to Norway’s capital. This is what the sun looked like!
Incredible. This twilight stuff blows my puny brain.
