Days 7 and 8: Bergen and At Sea

Bergen, Norway proved to be our rainiest and coldest port, but we didn't let the rain get in the way of our plans! Karen and I headed on foot towards the funicular that would take us to the top of Mount Foyen. While the views were clouded the top of this mountain had a lot to explore. There were trails, forests with large trees and a troll forest to explore! 
After lots of exploring (a little more than we bargained for as we missed the turn off for the lake!) Karen took the funicular down to town and I hiked to the city center. I ended up in the middle of an absolute downpour and was quite drenched by the time I made it back to port!
After a much needed hot shower and dinner Karen and I eat up at Syd Norman's, the pub on board that features live music. The group performing was absolutely fantastic and did an 80s prom theme night! It was a great way to wrap up our day in Bergen.
We were both glad to have a sea day after Bergen to give us time to rest and recover. Since we are headed south, we got our first glimpse of the full sun with barely any clouds in sight! We also got to enjoy the Fleetwood Mac show on board where the band played through the entirety of the Rumours album. It was a beautiful day start to finish!
