Wednesday 31st May – Norway in a Nutshell

May 31, 2017

Big day today as have booked a full day on the famous Flam Railway which takes us by train to the Aurlandsfjord, along the fjord by boat, back up the windy hill via bus back to Voss where we meet the train back to Bergen. It was an 8.30 am start and home by 9.00pm. … More Wednesday 31st May – Norway in a Nutshell

Tuesday 30th May – Bergen

May 30, 2017

Fairly relaxing day with light sight seeing occurring. We met an Aussie couple from Bondi in the hotel so had a chatty breakfast with them and arranged to meet up for dinner before we went our separate ways. Decided we would go up to the viewing platform and went back via the wharf. This beauty … More Tuesday 30th May – Bergen

Monday 29th May – Cruising Fjords to Bergen

May 29, 2017

Very leisurely breakfast before vacating our rooms at 10.00am. Found a warm spot outside on the back of the boat with a blanket thrown in for a bit of warmth. We sat here for about three hours whilst El Capitano weaved his way in and out of the many islands and slightly submerged rocks. We … More Monday 29th May – Cruising Fjords to Bergen

Sunday 28th May – Overnight Ferry to Bergen

May 29, 2017

Couldn’t quite work out this breakfast thing at the hotel. There was a huge queue at 8.00am awaiting the opening of the gates and then it was stormed. No one checked our room keys so not sure if it was gratis to the population of Trondheim or not. Whatever, it was still a great spread. … More Sunday 28th May – Overnight Ferry to Bergen

May 27, 2017

Luxury today as we got to sleep in a little today after the last week of early starts. The hotel we are staying in has to have had the best breakfast ever!!! Apparently it has won the Best Breakfast award for the last ten years and this was certainly demonstrated by the number of people … More Saturday 27th May. – A Day in Trondheim

Friday 26th May – Oslo to Trondheim

May 26, 2017

Totally blessed with the weather this morning in Oslo. Not sure if it going to last all the way to Trondheim. Early start again today – never got up this early when worked!!! Today we caught the rather spiffy train from Oslo Central to the northwest coast of Norway to Trondheim. Trondheim is about a … More Friday 26th May – Oslo to Trondheim

Thursday 25th May – Copenhagen to Oslo, Norway

May 25, 2017

Travel day today. We left the comfort and the security of the boat this morning and the six of us caught a taxi to Copenhagen airport where we all went our different ways. Very short flight of only one hour to Oslo in great weather with super views as we took off over Copenhagen harbour. … More Thursday 25th May – Copenhagen to Oslo, Norway

Wednesday 24th May – Final Sea Day

May 25, 2017

It is all coming to an end now. Twenty six days in total of floating in a metal tub on the high seas that slowly turned into a festering plethora of virulent bugs. Of our group of six, three have come down with some degree or other of an URTI. – upper respiratory tract infection. … More Wednesday 24th May – Final Sea Day

Tuesday 23rd May – Stockholm, Sweden

May 25, 2017

Let’s make this posting short as some of the previous ones have been a little wordy. The pictures will tell the story. Of all the Scandinavian cities Stockholm is the most beautiful. The city consists of 14ish islands with multitude of connecting bridges and tunnels. The whole coastal area is an archipelago with inlets, outlets … More Tuesday 23rd May – Stockholm, Sweden

Monday 22nd May – Helsinki, Finland

May 23, 2017

Well, after yesterday’s fiasco for Di she woke feeling a little better and being able to inhale air without exhaling chunks of her lungs. She decided it a good idea to be a Tommy the tourist for the day so we set out at 8.00am for the Hop on Hop Off bus. When we last … More Monday 22nd May – Helsinki, Finland
