Bergen - Day Twenty-One

Farewell Travel Mates!

 

 

The girls left us just after 10:00AM this morning and they decided to walk to the airport shuttle bus location which is about three blocks away...on cobblestone!

 

 

Mom and I had made arrangements to change to a better room today...we had our suitcases packed and orgaanized and brought them down to the lobby knowing that we would likely need to store them until our new room was ready...once we arrived the desk staff informed us that our new room was actually all ready too go! Yea, they have been so helpful, I think they made that happen quickly for us!

 

 

So we actually have a tiny bit more room for our luggage and we have a couch to sit on instead of the beds...which are pillow soft...so actually uncomfortable for sitting or sleeping for me ;)

 

 

We dropped our bags and walked to the bus area around from our hotel...you get to walk through a pedestrian only plaza with fountains and official looking buildings, very pretty.

 

 

 

 

 

So we stood and waited until we saw the FREE big blue Ikea bus! Yes, you can take it for free to the Ikea which is outside of town...took us about 15-20 minutes on the bus, so not that bad ;)

 

 

It looks just like home but perhaps a little bit bigger in size.

 

 

 

 

Mom and I sat on a couple different couches and had some chats about house organizing etc. when we get home...if we had a coffee it would've felt like we were already home in our living rooms!

 

I noticed that the eating area here is waaayyy larger than at home...there is at least double the seating and they have several areas for comfy seating on couches and chairs too.

 

 

 

I thought this was interesting to see this modern looking Ikea and a lovely old white church in the distance...

 

 

 

It is HOT out today!!! So we waited in the shade for a bit then moved out to the bench so we wouldn't miss our FREE bus back!

 

 

Well that shopping/sightseeing excursion was exhausting so we better grab a beer! No we actually went to cool down in our hotel room for a bit before heading out to dinner tonight.

 

We have been passing Peppe's Pizza since we've been here and decided to try it out...it is always super busy there so that looked like a good sign...

 

 

Ringnes Beer is Gluten Free! and super tasty...now it could've seemed super tasty because we were still hot and the temperature even at 7:30PM was about 24degrees...

Thin crust Chicken Chili with olivies, sundried tomatoes and arugula lettuce...Mom said she could've done without the lettuce but I liked it :) Oh! and check out those pizza scissors...that's a new one for me!

 

 

Supreme Boston Heavier Heaven...basically onions, meat, meat and meat...

 

 

Oh and check this out...order two coffees and they come in the French Press...and he said when the timer is up, your coffee is ready!

 

Our time was up too...so we had a leisurely stroll back to the hotel, fiddled on our iPads, I started a cross-stitch a couple days ago so I carried on and then it was time to sleep!
