Bergen Saturday

Back to urban Norway today, docked overlooking a container yard in the port of Bergen. A day for sightseeing, markets and shopping I suspect. But it's still sunny and very warm.
We had to take a shuttle bus into the town centre and then we went up to the observation point on Mount Floyen via the funicular railway, for views over Bergen. Walked thought the incredible fish market to the old Bryggen quayside district which is a UNESCO world heritage site. Very pleasant place to wander around on a nice day, plenty of open spaces. Rosemary took the railway back down and found a bargain cake stand, for home, while I walked down the long way (and wished I hadn't).
