Hi All,
We had a free morning before starting our official tour so we wandered the streets of the old town shopping and seeing more sights. In the fish market we spotted some good looking lobsters. After the mental gymnastics of converting kilograms to pounds and kroner to dollars, we realized the price was $47 per pound!!!
We visited the Hakon's Hall, built in the 13th century by King Magnus. The wooden truss ceiling and tapestries were beautiful.
In the afternoon we boarded a bus for a tour of some interesting Bergen sites including the home of famed Norwegian composer, Edvard Grier and a beautiful stave church.
We then boarded our ship, the Richard With, named in honor of the Hurtigruten founder. We unpacked, which was a great relief after five nights in five different places. We had a delightful dinner and went out on deck as our shipping departed.
Love
Sandy & Carl
