We decided to sleep in this morning and got a slow start to our last day in Bergen. On our way out, we took a rather serendipitous turn down an alley in Bryggen that brought us to a nice little shop where we ended up getting Norwegian sweaters for all of us! In my "what the heck" moment of the day, I discovered that an authentic medium reindeer skin was cheaper than a sweater. Let me just stock up on reindeer skins....
After some shopping, we took the bus to Gamle Bergen (an old world, living museum type place) and walked around for a while. A short tour that we joined took us into one of the fancy gentleman's country houses, then an old fashioned dentist and doctor's office (boy, am I glad that my wisdom teeth are coming out in 2012 and not 1850...). I also tried a Freia skakolade (chocolate) bar... mmm, mmm, good!

Back at our apartment, it was leftovers for dinner before packing our suitcases, and going down to Fisketorget for ice cream. There was a weird country duo playing music in the harbor area... it was strange to hear "Sweet Home Alabama" sung by a guy with a British accent in Norway. Oh well, my strawberry ice cream was excellent all the same! Mom and I also stopped to touch the ocean. Brr! It was so cold!

All in all, a fine last day in Bergen. I'll miss it!
