Bergen Day 2

Please note that starting tomorrow night for the next four nights we will be cruising north along the coast. It is unlikely that I will be able to post anything to the blog until we get off the ship.

It rained quite a bit here in Bergen today. We looked it up. The average annual rainfall in Bergen is 88.58 inches. Bergen is considered one of the rainiest cities in Europe.

This morning we played cards for a bit. Duke and I learned to play hand and foot. When the rain let up for a while around noon we went for a walk.

But then it started to rain hard. When it started to hail we took shelter.

Then Gayle and I saw the yarn store across the street. We took a run for it. It was a great store and we enjoyed browsing. Roger and Duke did some more exploring. They found a grocery store and learned that in Norway you can only buy wine at government monopoly stores, Vinmonopolet.

For dinner we intended to go to Enhjørnngen but we couldn’t get in. They suggested a sister restaurant a little farther down the side alley. We had a great meal.
