Browsing Bergen and a Stave Church

Today we went for a walk in Bergen’s city center. We walked through the fish market near the harbor. We sampled some smoked whale. Yes even Mariella tried the whale that was likely caught using a grenade tipped harpoon. Whale fishing sounds pretty extreme. We meandered through the streets before having a great tasting kabob from a Turkish takeaway restaurant. After a couple hours in the city Jon Andre and Crystal took us to a Stave Church. Fantoft Stave Church is a reconstructed stave church in Fana, Bergen, Norway. It was originally built in Fortun, a village near inner (the eastern end of) Sognefjord around the year 1150.
