Bergen, Norway April 23, 2026

There’s no hope for me, I wanted to be back out on the water so went on another fjord cruise!  I picked the morning tour this time yet with the same company.  The boat was a little different, there was much more commentary and the Captain got closer to locations.  The weather was cold and windy but that did not stop me from staying out on the deck.  Off we go again, leaving  Bergen behind.

There were additional ships in the harbour that we passed on the way out.

These ships are gigantic, or even larger than gigantic!

I did not notice this church on the first trip. 

I could probably go on a third tour and still see new sights.

lots of salmon fishing

a picture perfect little location

deep into the fjord

This is called The Castle, it is a hike and it’s family friendly.  

The trail must go up the backside.

That thin brown line at the base just above the water is a road.

I got a better view of this home on this tour.

There were a few sheep out in front.

Pretty much everyone that lives along a fjord owns a boat.

 

a dock for the locals 

The Captain got very close to the walls of the fjord.

This would be a geologist dream to see this!  

These are more up close photos of the fjord walls. For whatever reason, only myself and four others were interested in seeing this up close from outside.  

After snapping the above shots, I then took this video.  When the music played, I got goosebumps!  It felt like if I reached out, I could touch the wall!  This was my most favourite part of the entire tour.  There were only the five of us, the boat was almost at a standstill, the water was calm, we were sheltered from the wind, no one spoke a word.  I can’t stop watching the video, when I watch it I am transported right back there feeling those goosebumps!  

After the fjord tour, I went back to my home away from home with a plan to just settle in.  There’s no hope for me, I bundled back up again to brace against the cold and wind then went for an eight kilometre walk around Bergen to see even more sights, they are never ending.  Eventually, I did settle in, until tomorrow!
