26 May 2022.
The day began overcast but no rain - yet.
As part of our breakfast routine of fruit and yoghurt for Susie and toast and banana for me, we split a croissant and a pain au chocolat from Baker Brun. We had picked them up late yesterday afternoon and they looked really good. Heated up this morning we were impressed with the texture: light and airy with a good crumb.
Yet the taste seemed off somehow. Susie thought it might be some sort of ambient flavor from the oven and sure enough as they cooled the "offness" seemed to have dissipated. Still, they weren't very buttery at all and rather bland overall.

After we left the restaurant we walked across the street and bought our single-trip tickets for tomorrow's tram ride to the airport. It was back to the apartment to relax before one final stroll around Bryggen and the small alleyways of our neighborhood. We stumbled across an old church graveyard -- so far I've visited a cemetery in every place we've stayed except for Flåm.

Tomorrow will be another early morning for us. A short walk to the nearby tram stop which will take us straight to the Bergen airport and then it's off to the Netherlands!
