Another day gliding through the very cold water of Norway. The ship is most stable and quiet, I did mention previously the lack of music playing everywhere you go on this vessel and much quieter than any other ship we have been on.
WE are now starting our journey back to Bergen where we will arrive next Monday afternoon and just hoping that the weather will be kind and not to wet. We had our usual visits to the various food venues and after dinner last night sat in the lounge which was pretty much deserted and had a quiet drink before heading back to watch the football. Last night it was PSG vs Barcelona and the second half was more active than the first but still better than the match the previous night with Arsenal.
At one time we had thought we would get off at various stops and walk in the snow but actually there has been a lot more ice everywhere and therefore we need shoes with metal cramps or similar which we don't have. Neither of us needs to have a fall on this ice and it is so much safer to walk around the ship whilst on the other hand some of the little towns looked all locked up with lots of warehouses and the odd large supermarket. However we came for the views of the mountains and snow and not warehouses and so our decision to mostly stay on hoard is a sensible one. There are of course lots of tours from crab fishing to bird watching and snowmobile tiding etc but all at extra quite expensive costs.
Noel is still suffering from his cold and perhaps its the longest cold he has ever had and getting fed up with it. We are not sure whether to spend the final two days in Bergen or take an earlier flight home , we shall make that decision in a couple of days time.
