Exploring Bergen, Norway on foot - Day #6
Waking up to another beautiful lake view and driving about 40mins to Bergen this morning. It was interesting to see that this town of about 200k people population draws over 2.7 million tourists every year - yet, they've not made any effort in ensuring tourists actually understand how things work (i.e. parking) or what museum posters say - coz it's all in Norwegian.
We had about 5h to explore (due to car parking restrictions) and to be honest, we were done exploring Bergen within that time frame.
Julien and I like to go to museums, but this time we weren't that interested, so instead we walked around, saw the city on foot, and ate Shakshuka at a nice cafe.
I am surprised by how many pizza places there are here. Not much diversity food-wise, nowhere near how it is in Oxford for instance.
After Bergen, we drove to see an old church and learned a ton that I'd share in another post.
Around 7pm we stopped at a place near the water and I tried to have a dip in the lake 💦 which was around 10°C. I can't say I had an easy time with it, which reminded me how during this trip taking quick showers has meant I don't take cold showers at the end, and how I need to up my game.
Anyhow, it was another nice day and bedtime is at another cool spot!
