Bergen #2

Wake up with a nice view, and it is still sunny!

No time to take time, just enough to taste a (tasty) croissant (well, that's sunday!), and we straight away go in direction to the Schotstuene, i.e. the old meeting rooms for hanseatic marchants, and above all the only heated places (in that period) because of fire risk:

Right after, we managed to get the guided tour (very rare in winter season) at Rosenkrantz Tower, which was really worth it! There it is:

Built, destroyed, and built again at least 4 times, following the different kings' wishes, the building can reveal surprising: some walls were built just in front of ... windows for example. Excellent tour, excellent exhibition on the law viking code (very advanced for this period), and very nice view from the roof :-)

... with for example the Håkon's Hall, which we couldn't visit :-(

Some stairs to end down:

...  and we can continue with the Hanseatic museum, interesting, but with pictures forbidden. Nice flats, but without heating, life might have been hard sometimes!

For the end of our stay, we decided to get to the real cold, and climbed up with Fløibanen cablecar, just in time to see sunset!

Return flight was even on time! But we arrived in Trondheim, we had to spend 15 min trying to open the doors of the car, which were completely frozen!

Yeepee!
