Exploring an old fort Bergen

Ambience approaches the port of Bergen, Norway

 It was with trepidation I walked off Ambience supported by my two crutches and assisted. by a member of staff. I had seen what looked like a public park opposite the ship from the top deck. As it was only across a road, it appeared to be accessible. Walking was slow and I thought there would be seats in the park. It was, in fact, a former fort. There were no seats in evidence, but as in our public park near our home, a huge stage had been erected flanked by fluted tents and, as the work was progressing there was no access. We found some seats, offering a lacklustre view of an un-stocked bar ready for the later performances. One of us walked to the World Heritage Site, the  Bryggen, which was not far from the park. We discovered a Norwegian King's statue and a small regiment of cannons facing the harbour on our walk back to the ship, this time daring to cross the road without deviating to the crossing. It had been an adventure for me.
