Bergen, Norway

July 18 -19, 2019

When we arrived in Bergen it was cold and pouring down rain. Typical Bergen weather. We layered up and headed out. It wasn't as bad as we thought it was going to be. It wasn't that cold and it turned into an on and off drizzle. The second day was much better - we had sunshine part of the day. I wish the weather would have been better. We would have stayed longer. Bergen is a beautiful city and we only saw a small part.

Bryggen - the old wooden wharf area in Bergen. It was first built in the 12th century. It has burned down and been rebuilt many times.

The fish market

This is the time of year you see beautiful fresh berries for sale everywhere in Norway. They are delicious.

Love the street murals. Bergen has a lot of them.







Instead of standing in long lines at tourist attractions we decided to see a show. Norr - a hip hop viking show. It was excellent. It told the story of Thor. There were only 6 dancers and they were amazing. We really enjoyed it.
