4:15 pm. We are finally arriving at Bergen. There is even a fire boat spraying water to welcome our captain to his home city. We will be docking very near Bryggen which is the area of old Hanseatic League warehouses that has been preserved as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
We had a two hour bus ride around town past a number of places that I had seen last year. The photo here is of the Bryggen area. Not the most inspiring tour I've ever had, but at least it didn't rain more than a sprinkle, and we got back to the ship in time for dinner. As for the rain, evidently Bergen is the rainiest city in Norway and is sister city to Seattle, our guide said that it rains here on average 275 days a year, so I am guessing that Jill's and my weather magic is still working if we only got a sprinkle.
The only word on the engine situation is that we are still supposed to sail around 11:30 this evening and are now supposed to arrive at Stavanger tomorrow an hour earlier than originally scheduled.
