We awoke to grey skies but as the day passed more blue sky appeared and we were getting some lovely views of the hills and mountains on the route North. Noel was still feeling a bit rubbish however we got up and went for breakfast and had a good chat with the Swedish server whose wife also is on board but dealing with room cleaning and prep and we also met her later in the day. Noel retired to the bedroom with more paracetamol and Jennifer did some walking around the ship. We were not to worried about missing out on visiting Trondheim as we stop there again en-route back to Bergen.
Continuing North we crossed paths with another Havila ship going Southbound.
For lunch we visited the new room set up for suite guests which was nice and there Noel received a phone update from niece Sarah on family challenges in the west country. After lunch we had a quiet time and wandered a bit around the ship and visited the shop where they sell cold weather clothing and the usual stuff you run out off on your travels. We had an early dinner sitting next to a couple from Glasgow and this was their first cruise and were clearly enjoying it which is always nice to see.
Noel had the Halibut tart as a starter and then a steak and Jennifer had a different starter but also the steak which was most tender and tasty
Upon leaving the restaurant we came across the nice couple from Adelaide and joined them for a couple f hours discussing everything from family to travel to health issues and two hours flew by by which time Noel was losing his voice again.
Umm, as I always write the Blog the following day I just noticed that the sea is beginning to get a little bit rough but the ship seems to be handling it nicely.
