After watching the sun go down we were bathed in a pale twilight that never lessened into darkness, using the curtains in our cabin to be the created night of choice became the norm for nearly two weeks.
Blue skies and sunshine gave us an entirely different approach to our next port, Norway’s second largest city of Bergen. The original itinerary had us going fifty miles along a fjord to Flam, unfortunately that was changed but we saw more of the Norwegian lifestyle than the landscapes we were expecting.
We had booked an excursion to tour the city sights and get a cable car to the top of the nearest tallest mountain; the following pictures only hint at the views and the diversity of land and city scape.
Returning back to the ground floor we had a brief look at some of the sights we had seen from the coach then headed back to the QV which was preparing to move on to Olden. Many residential areas of the city were sited on the waterside of our route back to the open sea.
We had been told that there would be an overcast start to the following day’s inland journey up a fjord to Olden, we were also told that meandering would start at 4.30 A.M. If you are awake we will see you then.
