Sunshine greeted us on our return to Norway! This is the historic Bryggen area of the Hansiatic merchants from the 13th century. Today the city of Bergen is Norway’s second largest.By 1250 the Hansiatic League had established themselves here – stockfish (cod) from northern Norway was traded for grain from the Baltics as well as luxury goods from England and Flanders. We toured preserved trading rooms and cookhouses in the Schotstue complex.The fish market is still thriving – since the 1500s -it is a good area for some fish and chips! and people watching.Overlooking the Vagen Harbor – what a view! What a day!We stayed on the other side of the channel and crossed over this interesting pedestrian bridge. It is opening for the sail boats to access the harbor and the North Sea.Live, Play, and Dream! ‘Livet, leiken og draumane’ by Arne Maeland was nearby on the boardwalk. Seems like good advice: What is life without games and dreams?
