On the way into Bergen from where our ship had docked you stroll along Bryggen (the dock.) Originally named Tyskebryggen (the German Dock) and was the site of the first buildings in Bergen. It is now a UNESCO World Heritage site.

I assume the one with the painted tarpualin covering it was undergoing refurbishment:-

Several closes run off Bryggen into back streets. These house idosyncratic little shops:-

Note connecting wooden stairway here:-

This building in the back streets has a wodden hoist:-

This stone building marks the end of Bryggen:-

The coach trip to Bilbao had taken us through Getxo itself and given us a brief view of the Vizcaya Transporter Bridge, a UNESCO-listed Industrial Revolution icon, which carries people over the Ria Nervión between Las Arenas and Portugalete. Turning the corner of Getxo promenade takes you onto the riverside with a great view of the bridge:-

Closer view:-

I took a couple of videos of the bridge in operation. A gondola slung from the supports is the means of transportation. (Click on the pictures to take you to the videos.)

Compare the Tees Transporter Bridge at Middlesbrough.

End-on view of Vizcaya Bridge from Getxo:-

Nice square and fountain as seen in above photo but this time from the bridge ramp:-
