Our cruise is beginning today.   Yesterday we arrived in Bergen and joined the ship overnight here.   Today we were able to do a short tour of Bergen,  before we set sail.  Bergen Harbor,  one of the primary Hanseatic League cities of the 14th and 15th centuries,  still exhibits the wooden houses of that time along the harbor. 

Edvard Greig, one of the most prominent composers of Norway was born here and today we visited the concert hall,  shaped like a piano,  named for him.  

The fortress of Bergen was our last short visit as the weather is moving in,  colder and drizzly rain. 

The ship sails on moments from now.   Pray for calm seas and clearer skies for us,  please!
