Tall Ships Fill the Bergen Harbor
One place our ship stopped during the 2014 Voyage of the Vikings (Holland-America) was Bergen, Norway. We were both surprised and delighted to discover that there was a ’tall ship race’ event taking place. There were many classic (old) sailing ships tied up all around the inner harbor. We were able to walk around the harbor and enjoy seeing the ships and their crews at work.
And, since it was summer, the markets in the harbor area were full of beautiful fruits, and other produce.
