Good Morning  Bergen


I'm loving our breakfasts in this part of the world. Their bread is delicious and so is the smoked salmon...I have yoghurt and muesli before my eggs and a pancake and coffee to finish. 


Walking to the Floibanen (name of the mountain) Funicular.




Pete and I noticed many Rainbow Flags...I was curious so did a search in Google. It was Pride Week in Bergen at the beginning of June.


The queue to travel up the mountain on the Funicular was a mile long so we decided to visit the Bergen Fortress. It is one of Norway's oldest and best preserved fortifications. There are a number of buildings, including a castle within the fortress.


The views were wonderful...








Quite an amazing place with plenty of history...


The queue was still long so we walked up the mountain....


...it was a beautiful walk...a little tiring..


....but worth the effort to see the fantastic views at the top...


And what a glorious day to see this attractive city.
