Bergen was our last port
of call on this cruise. The ship needs to be in Southampton before
they begin a yacht race so our stay here was cut short. The ship
required us to be back by
12:30 and since we had a long tour
scheduled, we were up at 5:30. The first part of the tour was a
drive around Bergen. We have been here 3 times before and had always
just wandered around. It was good to see more of the entire city and
learn about it. The main part of the tour involved a long bus ride
along some very narrow roads through the valleys with a number of
stops along the way, none of which were of any great interest. The
guide was Italian who spoke with a very heavy accent which was
difficult to understand. He was very knowledgeable about Norway and
the places we were
traveling through but at such an early hour a
number of people we sleeping. We managed to stay awake. The final
stop was at a waterfall about 60 kilometers from Bergen. The
waterfall we were at yesterday was much nicer. However the one today
had the added feature that you could get to it along a short paved
path and that you could actually walked under the falls. That was a
new experience. Then back on the bus and the 90 minute ride back to
the ship. We just got back and the ship was ready to sail. With the
very early morning wake up, we needed down time in the afternoon so a
rest was in order which basically filled the entire afternoon. The
last formal night was tonight. We saw a comedy singer that
we missed
last night. We thought she was funny but others were so so. I guess
it depends on your sense of humor. We had lobster for dinner and saw
a good production show later. Actually the shows are much better
than they have been on previous cruises. The party balloon drop in
the piazza followed the show. Sea day tomorrow as we get ready to
depart early Saturday.
