Oslo to Bergen

Oslo to Bergen


10/5


The group all went by train to Bergen. Josh and Paktis weren't in our car but the rest of us were together. The scenery was spectacular. As we went to the higher elevations, we were above the tree line and there was snow and ice everywhere with almost a whiteout in some areas. We saw beautiful waterfalls, rivers and forests. 


 Once in Bergen we had difficulty finding our hotel....directly across the street from the side of the station! The hotel was a very nice, rustic, Norwegian looking hotel. That evening we walked for a fair distance through Bergen to arrive at the wharf area where we ate at a gigantic fish market that had cases and cases of every imaginable type of seafood.

 Our meal was terrific with the freshest of seafood. Patty and I both had mussels for appetizers, different preparations for each of us. One was a spicy broth, the other a more traditional wine broth but both delicious. We shared our broth for dipping bread in with the table. We all had different entrees of fish and Paktis and Josh shared a giant shellfish platter. 


We needed the long walk back after that dinner.
