Aug. 24, cont. - Floibanen

We left the aquarium, kind of disappointed, but the rain had stopped and the sun was making a brave attempt at showing itself. We walked back to the Brygge part of town, had lunch at the Harbor Cafe, and decided to give the Floibanen a go. This is a funicular tram sort of thing that goes up, up, up at a serious upward angle to the little gathering of houses called Fløyen. When I can I'll add a couple of photos of the view of Bergen from the top, as well as a view of our boat, a railway car coming up the track, and Ivan posing with a troll - really. The weather had cleared and it was very pleasant walking around outside. We had to keep an eye on our watches because the bus to the Hurtigruten terminal was to leave a hotel near ours at 5PM. Our hotel was storing our bags for us while we did our touron (word coined by our friend Steve Dolberg as alternative to the more commonly used, 'tourist') thing. (No photos with this post.)
