FRIDAY 31ST - BERGEN


Today was our final day of off ship exploring. Tomorrow we head for Amsterdam where we disembark on Sunday morning before heading to Belgium and France.

 

We were moored within a short walk of the centre of this very substantial city, so, as soon as we were allowed off the ship, we headed for the city's main attraction, the funicular to the top of Mount Floien.

 
Unfortunately, many other people had the same idea and we weren't the only cruise ship in town so we had to queue for 30 minutes before heading up the mountain.


But it was worth the wait. Not only are the views spectacular but there is a network of walking trails well worth exploring and a very picturesque lake, Lake Skomakerdiket.

 
After returning to city level, we wandered the town and the ladies were able to do some leisurely shopping.

We have had a spectacular trip so far and are looking forward to the next phase. We are also looking forward to heading home and catching up with family on Monday week.
