Askøy

Bergen is still hot and sticky. 29⁰ at 11am when I started to feel it, and checked. It went over 30⁰ again at lunchtime. 

I was out of the hotel about 08:30 and got the tram into the city centre to catch the 09:15 ferry to Kleppestø on Askøy. Askøy is a large island just across the fjord from Bergen. The 20 minute trip was included on my 24 hour transport ticket. It’s a commuter ferry.    

As I thought, it was a good way to see the city from another aspect and interesting to see how similar Kleppestø is to the place I stayed “in” Oslo, across the harbour by ferry from the city centre. 

I had hoped the island might be a bit cooler, but…

The Blip is just part of the ferry terminal quay at Kleppestø. The extra is the view back to the mainland.
