Scandinavia by Sea: Bergen

After a restful night and good breakfast we walked into the historic center of Bergen, the first stop on our cruise. It wasn't raining so we decided to take the funicular up Mount Floyen for the view which was amazing. Easy to get there just walk east from the cruise ship, turn left at Starbucks and head up the hill. Even with cloud cover we could see the islands in the distance and how spread out city of Bergen is. When we came down we were glad we did the funicular first thing because the line was now making it's way down the street.

After lunch we strolled through the old town area called Bryggen, checking out a few shops and taking photos. We were still pretty jet lagged and returned to the ship to rest before our muster drill. No life jacket fashion show like on the Viking River cruise but everyone on the Viking Sky seemed to take it pretty seriously.

Finally it was time for dinner. The night before in World Cafe the staff were really pushing the fresh fish buffet. That told us to dine in the Restaurant and it was less crowded as we expected. While at dinner the ship began the trip to Eidfjord. Between the rocking of the ship and jet lag we are both having difficultly staying awake so more later.
