Day 04 - Touring around Bergen, Norway
 |
Day 4 of the cruise was in the port city of Bergen. We took the city tour this morning. This included a ride up to the top of Mt. Floen on a cog train, a tour of the Hanseatic Museum, and a driving tour through the city. We got back on the ship in the afternoon. There was time for a quick workout and a dip in the pool before afternoon tea and dinner. The weather continued to cooperate, a little cloudy with temperatures in the high 70s... |
