11th August, Bergen, Norway
Woke up in the morning and after a hot shower felt a bit better. We took a walk to the harbour, amidst sunny weather which wasn't supposed to be there for long.
A visit to the Tourist info centre gave us all the info regarding the fjord tour we wanted to take and also the trip to Floyen via funicular and to Ulriken via cable car. We were told that a tropical storm is gonna hit bergen any time and hence we only bought the ticket to the funicular (80 NOK). We returned to the fish market which was an open market with grills with fascinating seafood on offer . By this time the weather has gone bad. We after checking out a lot of places settled for a big seafood platter consisting of a hell lot of prawns, big king crab leg, whale steak, salmon and cod fillet, salad and fish cake. (600 NOK). i didn't like the whale steak which was very chewy and didn't suit my taste. The crab leg was superb.
We made a move for the narrow lanes of bryggen filled with japanese tourists and souvenir shops. After this we moved to the funicular station to go up. It was a charming drive up and the view was magnificent . But the wind was so strong and became so cold that both our health went for a toss. We managed to stay for a few hours and take some nice pictures but couldn't stay back till dark to see the town glittering. We reached home with high fever and headache. Eva was sweet enough o offer us some tea and some pep talk before we went in for a nap.
