Hurtigruten; Thursday, 30 July, 2015

Overnight the ship went round the West Cape of Norway, some of the roughest water along the coast, and it was pretty obvious when we did as I was woken by the sensation of significant movement of the ship.

After the rude awakening I went back to sleep again and was woken just before 8 as the ship started to dock at Florø. That was convenient as it meant I had time to have a final shower, finish my packing and get my bag out into the collection zone near the lift so that I wouldn't have to hall it off the ship myself.

A final breakfast and then a quick check around the cabin to make sure I had picked up everything before pinning the door open to show it had been vacated and up onto the main deck to nab a table for the next five hours for the final run into Bergen.

The final journey in was relatively smooth, and with not very many people left on the ship quite quiet. We must have had a favourable tide as Bergen came into view just before 2pm and we were all docked and disembarking by 2:15, about 30 minutes earlier than expected.

Having collected our luggage we picked up the transfer coach and headed to our hotel in Bergen.
