Bergen

We spent two nights in Bergen, staying in a centrally-located apartment. The weather was pretty ambiguous, or at least undecided, but didn't get in the way of doing the basic tourist stuff - some of which will show up in the next few posts. We wandered around the harbor, visiting the the fish market and the Bryggen. We took the inclined railway to the top of the hill and even checked out a small museum documenting Norway's legacy of leprosy.

I found coffee in the morning at Dromedary. We assembled our breakfast from a local bakery and the grocery store. And we had a great dinner at the Munken Bistro (Local Peruvian-Fusion, of course).

Bergen is the second largest city in Norway, with its population spread across a challenging landscape squeezed between steep hills and deep water.  In the summer, there are hordes of tourists, although probably relatively few who arrived and depart by car like we did. I suspect that most come by ship, train, or bus, and according to Wikipedia, a majority are German or British.
