This morning we walked approximately a mile to the Fisheries Museum. On the way we walked through picturesque neighborhoods by the water.
We passed by this tunnel that only cyclists can use. Bicycling is encouraged. We saw an automatic counter that had counted 82 bicycles passing so far this morning.
When we arrived at the Fisheries Museum, we were given a guided 2-hour tour of the three floors of displays. This is a grenade harpoon whale gun from the 1930’s.
After the tour, we were served a delicious lunch which included homemade rolls, a gourmet main course, and a square of cake topped with whipped cream.
We were then given a treat of a special performance by Alexander. He played traditional music on three beautiful folk violins. He had won first place yesterday in a folk violinists’ competition in Bergen.
We returned to the hotel, then later most of the group rode the city bus with our guide to the university teaching hospital that specializes in burns. Melissa knows a male nurse who works at the hospital. He told us all about this hospital. Then he took three members of our group who are doctors or nurses to show them the ER. When they all returned to our group, we found out that he had volunteered four different times in disaster and war zones.
A few of us got off the bus a stop or two early so that we could walk through the fish market. We then walked by these picturesque stores and restaurants to our hotel.
