ShipsInBergen Posted August 2, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Yesterday the lovely Queen Elizabeth called into Bergen, Norway. I took the following photos as she sailed under the Askøy bridge during her departure from the city. There's a full set on my hobby blog, for anyone who may be interested :): http://shipsinbergen.blogspot.no/2017/08/queen-elizabeth-under-bridge.html It's always fun seeing big ships sailing under the bridge; the top decks seem almost close enough to step down onto!

Bergen is a paradise for ship geeks like me. Great photos. When I look out of my windows all I see is a row of houses and dustbins!! This made me laugh! I'm lucky with the view from my garden, at least on the 2 days each year when it stops raining enough to go outside ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a bunch of extra photos taken from the bridge that I didn't add to the blog...you might be able to spot yourself onboard :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllieBallie Posted August 3, 2017 #11 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I was up on deck, the bridge felt incredibly close as we passed underneath! I can't remember if I was wearing my bright pink coat at that time... Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you had a great trip though :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
