Today was preparation for our departure tomorrow from Bergen to Copenhagen. We repacked all our suitcases for the trip this morning.

We had arranged to meet one of Gary’s photographer friends. He invited us to his home for lunch. Into the Volvo rental for the 20 km drive to his home. We stopped to pick up some flowers as a gift. Found his home with the help of Google maps and enjoyed a nice, simle lunch. We discussed photography, politics and things Norwegian and American.

On the way back to the hotel, we topped off the Volvo before returning it to Enterprise Rental Cars. So, after parting with the car you’ll never guess what came next….

Ok, so maybe you would know that Joyce had been holding in reserve a geocache at the airport! It was a nice walk to the other side of the road on a bike/walking path. There WAS a cache there and we found it beneath the B in the Bergen sign. Then on the way back to our hotel just imagine there would actually be another one to find! And so we did that one too.

We enjoyed a very nice dinner in the hotel bistro. Gary had fish and chips, Joyce a pizza along with rose wine. We split a cheese plate for dessert followed by coffee and espresso. We had a table by the windows and enjoyed the sunset – quite unexpected on a mostly gray day typical of Bergen.

Back in our room Gary got a message that we had left a few things in the rental. Since we were a 10 minute walk back to the airport we made our way back to collect them.

Now to call it a day for an early start tomorrow.
