Scenery In Bergen

We arrived in Bergen September 26. After checking into our hotel, we went for a walk around city center.

 Next we walked around the docks.

September 27 we went back to the dock area to get more pictures.

Behind the historic old buildings in the picture above were little shops and side streets.

Then we walked around the fortress of Bergen. The grounds were beautiful, but it didn't compare to the view of the city from on top one of the walls surrounding the fortress.
The view.

The wall we sat on.

The train ride from Oslo to Bergen (7 hours) was so beautiful that we decided to day trip to some areas 'near' Bergen. September 28 we went to Voss and sat by the lake. The lake was like glass... until we started skipping rocks, which we discovered we suck at.

Next, we got on a train to Finse. The scenery was so beautiful, even from the train.



Here is a picture of the glacier, which Finse is known for.

Unfortunately we aren't the best hikers and instead of hiking around we walked for about 30 minutes, found a nice place to sit and have lunch, and enjoyed the scenery for quite a while. Here is a picture of me on the bench Andrew made for us.

The view.

We are going back to Oslo for a night, then back to the Netherlands.
