Bergen
We were staying in the town centre quite close to the harbor area so it was easy to walk out the door and see pretty Bergen. We stopped for a coffee and were very surprised to see a Victorian number plate on the wall of the cafe!
We took the Fløibanen Funicular up the side of Fløyen mountain from a spot just by the harbor for the six minute ride to the top. The view was stunning, Bergen is surrounded by seven mountains as well as fjords, so with a clear blue sky it was another perfect day. We felt pretty fortunate, Bergen is known as the rainiest city in Europe as it rains 239 days each year but today wasn't one of them.
We took a walk around the historic Bryggen area with the old wooden buildings (many filled with souvenir shops selling localised variations of the wooly socks, jumpers, and other items we'd seen in every other Scandinavian country).
