Bergen

The wettest city in Europe, Bergen lived up to its reputation on my couple of days visiting in the middle of summer, with regular downpours and very wet shoes. Other than the weather it is an attractive place, with plenty of heritage building around an impressive harbour setting surrounded by forested hills. The most popular views of the city are from Fløyen, the closest hill to the city. I was…

Fløibanen Funicular

Monday - 6/24/24

We woke up this morning in Bergen, Norway. The city's strategic location, scenic beauty, and rich cultural heritage make it a popular stop for many cruise ships exploring the Norwegian fjords and the North Atlantic region. It is one of the busiest cruise ports in Norway.

Here is a picture of Hotel Olena, where we are staying in Bergen.

Hotel Olena is a boutique hotel with a lot of art work. The hotel is in an excellent location, but even in our "superior room", the bathroom was very small, about 3 feet by 7 feet, and no dressers or shelves to unpack our clothes. So we lived out of our suitcases.

I don’t remember our thought process when we selected this hotel three months ago.

The first thing we did this morning was head to the grocery store to buy our lunch. Then, we went to the tourist information office to get a map of the city and answers to some of our questions. Afterward, we headed to the Fløibanen Funicular. To avoid the long line for tickets, we purchased them online when we arrived at the funicular.

The funicular goes up to the top of Mount Fløyen, which is approximately 1,050 feet from its starting point to the top of the mountain.

At the top of Mount Fløyen you get a panoramic view of Bergen and the surrounding fjords.

In addition to fantastic views, there are a number of hiking trails there and we decided to hike out to Lake Skomakerdiket. During our hike out it felt at times as if we were in an enchanted forest.

The lake was very serene and picturesque.

After hiking around the small lake, we return to the top of Mount Fløyen and decided to hike back down the mountain instead of taking the funicular back to the bottom.

We ate our picnic lunch along way on our hike down the mountain. Below is the view we had when we stopped to eat lunch on the way down.

The day continues in the next post.

Otras noches te comprendo. Y te compadezco. Y nos compadezco. En cierto modo algo de razón tenías, todo el mundo tiene un precio. (en Skomakerdiket)

Welcome to Bergen! What a tiny nice city with a landscape of colourful little houses upon the surrounding city hills. Our home for the next days is at Elisabeth's beautiful old house. She, her husband, her two cats and her Dog Fiks gave us a warm welcome and the best start which we can get in the town. We hiked up on around the Floi to the Skomakerdiket lake for a little picknick - Knäckebrot as much as you can eat - and later joined the yearly gay parade and festival! Rainbows for everyone!!!

Posing By The Lake by Christopher Deacon Via Flickr: Atop Mount Floyen in Bergen is a park that includes a lake (Skomakerdiket) where one can canoe among the ducks. During our visit there I noticed a woman posing for a photo taken by a friend. Thankfully the friend took as long to take a photo as I do and I was able to snap this candid shot. From my vantage point, her pose hid most of her face, which seemed both contrived and beguiling, I've heavily treated the photo in LR. Before I did, the frame was filled with extraneous distractions.

Dager kommer i alle farger, også grå. (Skomakerdiket, Norway -- the most beautiful place in Europe)

I cannot believe it’s been two months since I’ve been there :( maybe i’m not there with my body, but my soul and thoughts keep going back to Norway everyday.

Todos tenemos miedos, sin duda. Y enfrentarse a ellos siempre a sido la mejor de las ayudas. Primero apunta al suelo y luego señala la luna. Si te crees que con un dedo puedes capturar mi altura (en Skomakerdiket)
