This is journal entry 8, our seventh day in Norway a Bergen city break. Here we explore the Bergen Aquarium, a fun little spot kids love which you can reach by walking.
My six-year-old son and I have embarked upon a 14-day Eurail trip from Oslo, Norway to Bodo in the Arctic Circle. We started in Oslo for 2 days then to Stavanger where we had a city break and explored Vikings. Then we explored Haugesund, the homeland of the Viking Kings and now we’re in Bergen!

Exploring Bergen, Norway’s Little Big City
Bergen is situated on the west coast of Norway, on the peninsula of Bergenshalvøyen. The city was established before 1070 AD and is home to the UNESCO World Heritage Site Bryggen, the old wharf of Bergen. We are on our second day in Bergen, yesterday we explored the city on foot, and today we set off for the Bergen Aquarium. We always love the opportunity to see animals when we are traveling abroad. There are many types we don’t get back home in Florida. So the Bergen Aquarium seemed like a no brainer.
