Bergen - Day Twenty-Two!

It's our last full day in Bergen today...we lounged around in our hotel room with two packets of instant cofee, a chocolate bar and left over pizza...

 

 

Mmmm...that's breakfast!

 

So by the time we showered and left the hotel room it was about lunch time! We had plans to travel to an island to see some interesting bridges and a series of museums...unfortunately though with today being Sunday, there was only one bus scheduled to go after 4:00pm and not return until after 7:00pm...that plan was out!

 

Instead we are planning on taking the funicular up to the top of the mountain to see a view of all of Bergen...after lunch of course!

 

 

This restaurant Egon is in our hotel and at the end of this street near the fish market. It is seriously HOT out again today...not sure why I showered as I was sweating like crazy before we even went outside!

No air-conditioning in these hotels...the cost of electricity here is insane! so I guess the luxury of cool air is out of the question! So what to do to cool down you ask? Why, sit in the shade outside with the breeze and have a pitcher of beer perhaps!!?

 

 

 

 

 

This is the view from where we are sitting...

 

 

This is the fish market under all those tents you see..

 

Oh, and isn't this a cute Mcdonald's...looks like an old heritage building...

 

 

 

We are on top of the mountain looking down! That is part of Bergen...you get about a 280degree view...remember that all the water you see is the Atlantic Ocean...

 

Our Thon Bristol Bergen Hotel is smack dab in the middle of this photo below...yellow large building with tiny red flags on the roof...

 

 

 

 

We were so hot that we came back to the hotel in the hopes that it would be cooler here...we had a nap and left to get dinner around 9:00pm...went to a place called Dickens and ordered burgers...not like home but kinda...

 

 

I just woke up before dinner here...nice bags under my eyes huh?!!!

 

Leaving for Frankfurt tomorrow. We are staying at a hotel there overnight as our flight is direct to Vancouver on Tuesday...a bit of a break in the commute home...I've saved one of dad's sleeping pills for the last flight...hopefully it works!
