Bergen to Stavanger

My fourth day starts again in Bergen, and today I'm leaving it and travelling south to Stavanger. Since no trains are operating the line, I will have to take a ferry.

 Johanneskirken (St. John's Church)

 Bybanen (Light Rail) opened in Bergen 2010. This will be my only rail transport today.

 I'm taking the tram from the city centre...

 ...to a stop called "Paradis".

 My destination for this morning, is mountain Ulriken, which is the highest of the seven surrounding Bergen, 643m above sea level.

 Trolleybus line in Bergen opened in 1950, today there is only one line.

 The mountain is easily accessed by the cable car.

 The view is breathtaking

From Wikipedia: "Bryggen (the dock), is a series of Hanseatic commercial buildings lining the eastern side of the Vågen harbour in Bergen, Norway.

 Bergen was established before 1070 AD.

 Time to board my ferry. The service by Fjord Line is for Hirtshals in Denmark, but the ferry stops in Stavanger.

 MS Bergensfjord was put in service in 2014, and it runs exclusively on liquefied natural gas

 The ferry has an airseat compartment

 Unfortunately the weather changed dramatically that day, from clear blue sky in the morning, to non stop raining the rest of the day.

 Along the route, it is possible to view oil rigs and major ships as I'm getting closer to the oil capital of Norway - Stavanger.

As I'm getting closer to Risavika harbour near Tananger, I'm checking the local weather. It is not a pleasant view.

 Risavika harbour is about 40min by bus from central Stavanger.
