Bergen: an ancient city, a modern town.
A beautiful harbor, a handsome bowl of seven hills.
A bustling commercial center, an active fishery and a great public fish market, a laid-back Scandinavian culture, and a quirky freewheeling university city-state.
Bergen is very Norwegian but very different from the remote small settlements of the country’s west coast and its top.
Our long run of blue sky and warm temperatures gave way to more typical Norwegian weather. Overnight the North Sea was bumpy and this morning we arrived to gray skies and drizzle.
It has though been an exceptionally glorious visit to Norway, which is high praise indeed.
This afternoon we head back out to sea, our destination a passage through the London Tower Bridge early Wednesday morning.
Chef David Bilsland led an informal trek to the Bergen Fish market, introducing guests to some of the oceanic treasures of Norway.
