Bergen/Sea Day

July 16th-17th
Bergen/Sea Day

I had another tour on the 16th in the town of Bergen, widely known for being the home town of Edvard Grieg, the famous pianist/composer. My tour went to his estate and museum. The tour was decent, after a stop at a really old church, the group drove to the Grieg estate where we walked through a museum, saw his cabin where he composed his music, walked through his house, and even heard a 30 minute piano recital of his music. Nothing was all that spectacular or memorable, but it was nice to appreciate the composer who’s music I have enjoyed for many years now. After the tour, I got dropped off in the city center where I went to the fish market. This market was great because everywhere you go, the vendors are slicing up free samples of there fish, all of which are amazing. I had so much good salmon and even whale, among other things, that I can’t even remember it all. The only bad part was the rain that we were again stuck in. I then made my way through the city to the shuttle drop off point and caught a ride back to the ship.
The 17th was a usual final sea day with a farewell show. I ended the day playing euchre with some friends in my band. Tomorrow is Southampton where I’ll be able to make my posts and stock up on a few more supplies. Thanks for reading and keep looking for me to make updates during the next cruise, another Russian Rendezvous!
