Bergen was probably one of my favorite cities in Norway. Even though it is the 2nd largest, it still had spots where it felt quaint and not too comercialized. We rode the tram up to the top and were planning on taking a hike, but the trip to the top took almost an hour and we still wanted to see the town. So we decided that we would just hike down and walk, which we did.

They had a small forest of trolls at the top...this was just one.
The path down.
One of the quirks we came across (not just in Norway either) was that there don't appear to be rules of the road. Cars were everywhere, and we never saw a stop sign. Although, they always did stop for pedestrians. But, they parked all over the place. Didn't seem to matter which direction or which side of the road you were on....
Cars...
Backsides of some houses.
And through this door lies your imagination!
Once we got down from the mountain, it was lunch time. Problem was, most of the places we walked into were cafeteria style. Not what we wanted. So Debbie and I walked into a male clothing store (think metro-sexual) and asked the guy where he liked to eat. He asked us if we liked fresh food and we of course said yes! He pointed us in the direction of this little hole in the wall place that served organic, fresh and gluten free food. And better yet, it had flavor! Woohoo! Happy tummies!! We walked some more and saw the large cathedral in Bergen then made our way back to the ship.
The Cathedral.
We were constantly being followed by the sea gulls.
