Last Day in Bergen

Tomorrow morning early, we will begin our trip home. It will take two days because we will be staying one night in Oslo. This morning we bought tickets for the airport bus. Then we just wandered around.

This is our street, all of it. Deb loves the patterns in the cobblestones.

Some Final Pictures of Bryggen......







Many people live on nearby island and commute via ferry.

Manhole covers show Bryggen sights.

Just a wall around a construction site.
Narrow pathways and stairways go up and up between the buildings.



These final days in Bergen have felt like some of the coldest days we have had in Norway. It is not really colder than it was up north, but we have spent much more time outdoors and seem to have felt it more.

The Norwegians seem unperturbed by the cold. They just bundle up and get outside. In the evenings the streets are crowded with walkers. Sidewalk patios are open and people do not hesitate to sit outside. Chairs and benches have caribou hides or fur throws. Blankets are spread over knees. Heaters and fires are abundant and the people just seem comfortable.
