On Friday, July 28 we met Bonnie & Kent (who flew to CPH the afternoon before) at the Round Tower.  It was a beautiful tower with incredible views from the observation deck at the top.  Later that afternoon the four us flew to Bergen, Norway for the start of the 50^th anniversary family vacation.

 

Flying into Bergen resulted in an incredible view of the coast.

We took the funicular up to Mt. Floyen where there was a great view of the harbor.

The next day Dave and I hiked up there for a while.  (photos above from our hike)We went to a couple of very good museums and took the bus to Edvard Greig’s summer house for a concert.

We spent all day Monday, July 31 on a Norway in a Nutshell tour that involved a train to a bus to a boat to a train to another train.  We were gone 11 hours, but the views were really incredible.  The size of the mountains around the fjords was truly amazing.

The Bergen public library features a gargoyle wearing glasses.  Because duh!

Next up, a long train to Oslo.
