With a travel day tomorrow and not having any “must see” items on our list, Bob and I opted to walk to a few parks in the city, both to see them and also see more of Bergen. The photos are of the parks as well as other sites that caught my eye as we walked around the city.
St. Mary’s Church near our hotelA monument to seafarers and the ever-present scootersNot sure what this pretty space was. It was a nice, colorful surprise.Gardens in front of the West Norway Museum of Decorative Art, love the red, white, and blue flowers Two quiet eco shuttles in front of the University of Bergen science buildingAn interesting statue behind the University of Bergen Library A fountain in the middle of Nygard ParkAnother statue in the parkA pond in the parkA tribute to locals who died in WWIIThe small but pretty University Gardens outside of the University Museum of BergenMore of the University GardensDittoThe University Museum of BergenMore of the gardensWalking down through an older part of town towards the 3rd parkI love the colorful houses that we have seen on our travels hereA pretty tree-lined walkLooking out towards another harbor in BergenA small park in front of the Fredericksberg Fortress at the highest point of the Nordnes Peninsula.Walking into Nordnes Park, we passed a small private athletic club with a lap pool in the fjordA totem pole at the farthest end of the parkLooking towards the section of town where our hotel is locatedA section of white houses along the harborA pretty fancy ash tray. Have to say though, there has not been nearly the number of smokers as we typically see in southern Europe
Tomorrow we have an early exit from the hotel to catch a cab to the airport, where we have a short flight to Oslo and then onto Edinburgh, Scotland. We will be flying Norwegian Air for the first time. Both flights are short, about an hour, but we have a 2 hour layover in Oslo.
