Nice photos of a beautiful city we visited a little over a year ago to start our cruise. We were there in the summer of 1973, but didn't see much. We took the train from Oslo to Bergen as it was supposed to be the most beautiful train rid in Europe. We rode the trains all around Europe for 11 weeks and it was our most beautiful ride. Unfortunately, our train left to go back to Oslo a couple of hours after we arrived, so we saw very little of Bergen. Many fond memories and we can't wait to go back.
