Our small sweet B & B is in a residential neighborhood just 5 minutes walking into town. There are cobblestone streets with narrow little passage ways leading down to hidden coffee shops, cafes, boutiques and of course, excellent sporting goods stores. Bergen has a huge port and a start and finish for many cruise ships and the city swells from 10am to 3pm. Bergen seems to survive on the fishing industry with more kinds of fish than I’ve ever seen or heard of, and the lobsters and crabs are humongous.
After a historic tour of old town with a guide from the Bryggen Museum we rode up the 1000’ funicular for excellent views of the city and a hike around in the rain filled forest. We walked a little over nine miles today!
