 MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2008:

It was an unusually nice day as we transited Hjeltefjorden Fjord toward Bergen with the sun shining brightly overhead.
On average, it rains here more than 300 days per year.

We sailed under the Askøy Bridge as we sailed through Byfjorden Fjord which is close to Bergen's city center.

Fløibanen is a funicular in Bergen, Norway which runs up the mountain of Fløyen.
It is one of Bergen's major tourist attractions and one of Norway's most visited attractions.

Fløyen is the most visited of the seven mountains that surround the city center of Bergen. The views are spectacular.

After descending Fløyen, I spent the rest of the afternoon walking around this beautiful city of 250,000 people.

The city center is divided into two parts: the old Hanseatic town along the wharf area and the modern center
stretching inland from the harbour. It has a pleasant, slow pace and a cultured atmosphere with numerous
interesting museums, galleries, an aquarium and surviving medieval buildings.

Bergen has a spectacular setting on a sheltered harbor of the North Sea, situated among seven hills that form a
backdrop to the brightly painted wooden houses along the waterfront, and is one of Norway's most enjoyable cities.

As we sailed out of Vagen Harbor it began to mist light rain, so I guess it was one of those 300 rainy days after all.
