Bergen

Our sea voyage begins and ends in Bergen. We had only a little time, but we did walk around a bit. Bergen is the second largest city in Norway.

Bergen has multicolored housing that is so unique to Americans and the buildings are modern. Since we often post photos with a coffee theme, the third image below is their Starbucks. 

The Bergem Fish Market is one of the "must sees". 

I have to throw the following image somewhere. Cheese is a big deal in Norway and now that we spend so much time in Wisconsin and have developed our own cheesehead cred, I have my own favorites. Brown cheese is new to me. I have had some on bread each morning for breakfast and I have become a fan.

We will be in Norway during the most contentious election in our experience. We voted before we left, but CNN is everywhere and we can follow any late developments. We do find U.S. politics a topic we often discuss with lunch and dinner companions and we have yet to encounter a Trump supporter among any international voyager we have met. Folks are just as baffled by the state of U.S. politics as we are.
