We loved walking around the quiet streets of Bergen on our first afternoon there, the sunny day! The tall white houses and cobblestone streets were full of charm. Our hotel, the Bristol, was in a great location, right on the main shopping plaza. We were able to walk right from the dock where we got off the Kong Harald after our Atlantic fjord cruise. It is a very easily walkable town; we only took a bus once in Bergen and that was just because it was raining and we didn't have anything else to do. The Hanseatic quarter was fun to explore. This is the original Bergen, settled by German sailors. It is full of tippy wooden buildings from the 1700's. This part of town has burned down 10 times, until all fires in houses were banned, there was a central outdoor kitchen that cooking was done at. Between our hotel and the Hanseatic wharf was the fish market, where they were selling coyote furs...And in the harbor were these three children, babies really, rowing around by THEMSELVES! Police would have called to such a scene in California.
