We got a lift with a boat neighbour to town. Bergen is a nice town with a relatively small centre. The city park was in full bloom.

A visit to the old quarters on “bryggen” is a must. It is an amazing maze of small streets between the buildings behind the waterfront. We found a fish tackle shop amongst all the tourist shops and bought cod lure; a “Svenskepilk” of a suitable size for the cod we hope to catch. We have a much larger one, courtesy of Eva’s brother, onboard that we are reluctant to use as it is intended for the real big ones, the ones too large to handle and too much to eat for two persons.

The cable railway takes you some 300 m up the mountain Floi (Fløi) and to a very nice view. There are a lot of tracs and activities on the mountain. We took one of the shorter ones and had a lovely walk in the woods.

The catamaran fast ferry from centre of town took ten minutes across the water and a buss waited on the dock to take us back to the marina. We had a good view of some of the places we had visited as the ferry left the harbour.
