Creator's Key Takeaways
We will hopefully also answer the question of whether it is worth your time and money to spend a few days in Bergen.
The fjord cruise was very enjoyable. It took us far up one of the fjords until we reached ice in the water.
Bergen was a lovely place to visit, but we will have to disclose it was an expensive economy.
We found a nearby street bench to sit down on and we sat there and ate our reindeer dogs.
