Fløibanen Funicular

First of all, I totally forgot to tell you one of the neatest things about the hotel in Bergen was that it is haunted. There are two nice ghosts who live in the oldest part of the hotel. One of them is named Elise. We never met them, but we did look.

There are always those word that sound so funny you have to love them. One of them for me is funicular. For this reason, I have always wanted to ride one. The Fløibanen Funicular in Bergen is one of the world's most famous. We rode to the top of the Fløyen mountain to see the view and we were given so much more. The ride itself, up the funicular was inspiring. The incline was so steep you felt you would fall off. The windows and roof provided a spectacular view. Once we reached the top it was a lovely retreat we did not expect. The views as mentioned earlier were unbelievable. In addition, there was a wonderful restaurant in a beautiful old building with a lovely large veranda, a playground, and numerous hiking trails. We had the best time exploring the trails and playing on the playground. It was a wonderful way to spend a few hours discovering the area.

Later we came back down the mountain and finished exploring Bergen. We walked over to the Akvariet the Bergen Aquarium. The seal show was a lot of fun. Our zoo and the South Carolina aquarium are really so amazing that we were a little underwhelmed. But it was nice to visit.

The city was so pretty, the whole region is lovely. More later!!!!
