Home today but time to visit the galleries I missed yesterday. It didn't actually rain until I was crossing to the aircraft from the terminal.

| Central Bergen |
Back through the city centre to the gallery but it wasn't open yet so I went back to the centre for a coffee.

| Ivory figure |
The first museum was fascinating with exhibits about the figures derived from different places in Norway and made from everything from very early wooden dolls through carved ivory, porcelain and sandstone carvings that are somewhere that I can't remember at a Royal palace in Denmark.
 |
| And another |
The exhibition upstairs was a very impressive collection of paintings by Harriet Bakker many depicting fascinating interiors.

The final Gallery was an exhibition of art and installations by a contemporary Norwegian artist, Lotte Konow Lund, interesting but maybe not quite my thing.

A walk round the old touristy part of Bergen that was overrun by Americans off a cruise ship before I decided that I had enough of the tourist thing and found the light railway to the airport.
 |
| Bryggen |
Little to say about the flight other than it was raining in Bergen and sunny in Aberdeen with some fine views of the lighthouse where I finished the Challenge last week when we came in to land.

| The mouth of the Dee, Aberdeen |
I will definitely go back to Norway but I will be a bit more careful with the time of year.

| Aberdeen airport |
Off to Orkney on Saturday.
