Great night sleep in a real bed,
one which wasn't being tossed around in the open ocean, we did get up early for
breakfast so we could escort Maureen, Noelene and Denise to the train station
(across the road from the motel) and see them on their way to Oslo via the
'Norway in a Nutshell' tour through Flam.
Magnificent blue skies and
sunshine today so after checking out of the hotel, Pam and I went down town and
wandered around the harbour shops. It is very cold and there is ice and
snow scattered around on the ground and in gutters. We had a coffee at
Starbucks and when it was time for lunch we tried to find the 'most famous
sausage shop in Norway' our taxi driver told us about in the harbour
area. He told us that people came from Sweeden and Finland especially to
Bergen to have a sausage at the shop. We couldn't find it so asked at the
Information Centre and she gave us some detailed instructions.
Found it in a flash, Pam had a
cheese sausage and I had a reindeer sausage. They were very good but I'm
not sure I'd be crossing international borders to go and get one? We went
down to the waters edge, found a seat and ate while we watch the world go
by. Lovely day.
Got back to the motel around 2pm
and decided to head out to the airport motel and just relax for the rest of the
day in preparation for our torturous flights home (Bergen to Copenhagen to
Singapore to Brisbane). It’s a 55 minute trip on the light rail to
the airport and we were lucky not to fall asleep on the way. Arrived
safely, checked in, sorted out luggage, coffee, blog, beer, fish and chips for
tea and hopefully a short peaceful sleep.
Our program for tomorrow – the
plane leaves at 6am, we’ll take our suitcases to the airport at 3.30am, return
for showers and breakfast then return to the airport by 5.30 to start the
adventure home.
