We repacked all our suitcases for the trip this morning.<\/p>\n<p>We had arranged to meet one of Gary&#8217;s photographer friends. He invited us to his home for lunch. Into the Volvo rental for the 20 km drive to his home. We stopped to pick up some flowers as a gift. Found his home with the help of Google maps and enjoyed a nice, simle lunch. We discussed photography, politics and things Norwegian and American.<\/p>\n<p>On the way back to the hotel, we topped off the Volvo before returning it to Enterprise Rental Cars. So, after parting with the car you&#8217;ll never guess what came next&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Ok, so maybe you would know that Joyce had been holding in reserve a geocache at the airport! It was a nice walk to the other side of the road on a bike\/walking path. There WAS a cache there and we found it beneath the B in the Bergen sign. Then on the way back to our hotel just imagine there would actually be another one to find! And so we did that one too.<\/p>\n<p>We enjoyed a very nice dinner in the hotel bistro. Gary had fish and chips, Joyce a pizza along with rose wine. We split a cheese plate for dessert followed by coffee and espresso. We had a table by the windows and enjoyed the sunset &#8211; quite unexpected on a mostly gray day typical of Bergen.<\/p>\n<p>Back in our room Gary got a message that we had left a few things in the rental. Since we were a 10 minute walk back to the airport we made our way back to collect them.<\/p>\n<p>Now to call it a day for an early start tomorrow.<\/p>\n<div data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:1,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.rootbeertogo.com\/?p=10923&quot;}' id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-10923 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.rootbeertogo.com\/?attachment_id=10924'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rootbeertogo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/20250317_152811-scaled.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rootbeertogo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/20250317_152811-scaled.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rootbeertogo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/20250317_152811-scaled.jpg?zoom=2&amp;resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rootbeertogo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/20250317_152811-scaled.jpg?zoom=3&amp;resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" data-attachment-id=\"10924\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.rootbeertogo.com\/?attachment_id=10924\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rootbeertogo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/20250317_152811-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1196&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2560,1196\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;SM-S908U&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1742225290&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;2.2&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;50&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0012422360248447&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"20250317_152811\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rootbeertogo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/20250317_152811-scaled.jpg?fit=474%2C221&amp;ssl=1\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.rootbeertogo.com\/?attachment_id=10925'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rootbeertogo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/20250317_190301.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rootbeertogo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/20250317_190301.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rootbeertogo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/20250317_190301.jpg?zoom=2&amp;resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rootbeertogo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/20250317_190301.jpg?zoom=3&amp;resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" data-attachment-id=\"10925\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.rootbeertogo.com\/?attachment_id=10925\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rootbeertogo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/20250317_190301.jpg?fit=1771%2C1368&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1771,1368\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;SM-S908U&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1742237067&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;6.4&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;250&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0083&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"20250317_190301\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rootbeertogo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/20250317_190301.jpg?fit=474%2C366&amp;ssl=1\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today was preparation for our departure tomorrow from Bergen to Copenhagen.
