It is a rainy day in Bergen, Norway and we are doing what the tourists do, going for a Fjord boat tour.
In a previous life, I lived in Seattle and this area reminds me of Northwest Washington.
Bridges and tunnels, Norway must have more of both per capita than any other country.
They claim this is the longest floating bridge in the world…. Western Washington may have something to say about that.
And now, the bridge and a flag.
As we made the two hour cruise into the Fjord, the canyon walls start to narrow.
It was generally a pretty miserable day, luckily the boat had an interior cabin. I’m sure glad we didn’t do this in a Zodiac.
Apparently, the depth of these Fjords are about equal to the height of the canyon walls.
Romarheim, Norway I belive.
Here is the Fjord map with Bergen at the bottom and our boat location near the top. We are headed for Mo.
Pretty!
Lots of enhanced waterfalls on this rainy day.
At this point the Fjord narrows dramatically and we go through the small cut on the left.
Apparently this was a small river connecting the Fjord to a fresh water lake. A little excavation and voila, its now a bigger Fjord.
Mo, Norway.
If I was Norwegian, I would call this Lightning Falls.
A few minutes at Mo and it was time to make the 2 hour trip back to Bergen.
Pretty!
Back out the narrow strip.
These small inlets where all up and down the Fjord.
More rain.
As we neared Bergen, things started to improve weather wise.
Random boats.
Bergen, Norway. More tourist activities tomorrow.
