Day 16 Saturday, March 14th Bergen

We learnt on our arrival back at the hotel yesterday that Norway was about to go into lockdown due to the coronavirus.  No restaurants, museums, galleries or other tourist attractions will be open.  We thought about it in the evening and decided our best course would be to get home as soon as possible.  We were due to travel to Oslo today for a 3 night stay but decided to abandon that part of our holiday.

So today we have spent a

lot of time rearranging our travel.  The hotel here kindly allowed us to stay at least one extra night.  Through Hurtigruten we managed to transfer our flight so that we are now travelling from Bergen to Gatwick tomorrow evening.  We have

rearranged our train from London to Penzance for Sunday night - well done Llandrindod Wells station as usual impeccable service.  Our flight to Scilly from Lands End is now Monday morning and hopefully we will home safely early afternoon.  We managed to take a few pictures from our hotel room which has a view over Bergen harbour.

We have had a wonderful holiday with exceptional experiences, it is a pity we have not been able to go to Oslo but there seems little point.  Perhaps we will make it another year.  Unless something untoward happens this will be the last blog for this holiday.  Thank you very much for reading and God Bless.

    'Norway in a Nutshell' proved to be a great finale for your holiday. Otherwise, my thoughts for you are the same as Carolyn's. :)
