Eidfjord, Norway - Monday

07-13: Eidfjord, Norway. We went up top and looked around for what is close – Nothing really, so we stayed onboard. We had lunch and played cards surrounded by the lovely Eidfjord. In the afternoon we watched a movie and Stuart put the last touches on his presentation and rested. His presentation was 6:30p. This is his last one. We got the disembarkation information today as well. After dinner in the World CafĂ© we went to the show that was part farewell from the Captain and after that an ABBA show by the singers. It was good. Torshavn was next listening to some rock and roll music, then bedtime.

Stavanger, Norway - Saturday

Hi June, If you are reading this you know how I am doing. No one reads this but you so each post is for you really! I hope all is well at your place and with all the kids. Miss you. I hope to call you before I get home so we can catch up. You know those first few days home are hecktic. xo

07-12: Stavanger, Norway. Not feeling well at all. I think I had gastro-upset that sort of felt like chest pain. I couldn’t sleep. I took Tums but I ran out of them. I had a big bottle of them but I cannot find it now. I just had the few that were in my purse. Stuart brought me tea and a muffin. I am feeling a little better, no pain now. Stuart did laundry again, hopefully the last time. He also found Gaviscon at the ship store and that really helped a lot. I am still watching what I eat today. Today we are docked right next to house on the starboard side. It is a quaint and beautiful little town. Quiet evening, we did go to the show but then to bed early.


Oslo, Norway - Saturday

07-11:  The ship was only in port until 11a so no real time to get out and do anything. We had lunch in the dining room and then went up to the Explorer lounge to watch sailing out of the narrow fjord. We played Rummikub and watched the beautiful scenery go by. We played until early evening but instead of dinner we had just snacks. We didn’t go to the show because it was a repeat of one we already saw, and not a favorite. I think Stuart has one more presentation. I think we are both ready to be done here. There just isn’t much to do onboard.

Oslo, Norway - Friday

07-10: Oslo, Norway. We were up early and on our way to the Munch Museum. It was a very pleasant visit. Though I am not a fan of all Edvard Munch painting, there are many I do like. We saw the entire museum. We spent little time in the area dedicated to crafts or drawing, mostly for children but also some adults. We did see every exhibit. We both liked the biggest room with the largest paintings the most. Most prominent was the Sun, just beautiful with 2 side paintings painted to go with it. After visiting all 11 floors, the 12th was the restaurant. We had a nice lunch before heading back to the ship. Stuart did his presentation at 6:30p and we had dinner in the dining room after that. We watched the show, a singer from Canada, he was good. A few cards and off to bed.


Nov 4 & 5 - Cartegena and Malaga, Spain

11-04: Cartegena, Spain. This is a new port for both of us. We had a HO-HO bus planned but due to the rain, we canceled. We relaxed on board...
