Today was a pretty normal day with the usual visits to the restaurant form Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. There is limited choice for food regarding my diet issues but for the rest of guests its perfect.
We pulled in to a number of different ports during the day with passengers getting off and joining tours from snowboarding, dog sledging, u name it they have it but all at a cost.

Late in the afternoon we crossed over the Artic Circle for the second time only on this occasion it was Southbound.
On the Northbound leg there is a ceremony held on deck with glasses of shampoo and the opportunity for the sea devil to come and pour freezing cold water with ice lumps down your back which is a nasty shock to the system. We did not join on the Northbound celebration as Noel was suffering health wise and so no a good idea to stand on deck for a while.
At one port we watched them loading pallets of garden fertilizer and at another boxes of fish with the hungry seagulls waiting for a dropped box or at least spillage.
In the afternoon e decided that an additional two night stay, already part of our original plan, was on and so we needed to find a nice Hotel for two nights. The one we stayed in upon arrival in Bergen ten days ago, was sort of Ok, the shower was a handheld in the bath with no rails to hold on to which I require and so this time the Radisson Blue Bergen Hotel does have proper walk in showers and a much bigger and more friendly area to sit and wait on Wednesday before leaving for the airport. I believe the Airport bus also stops outside the Hotel and this will save us a taxi ride I believe.
I may have mentioned the collection to employ consultant on our attempt to overturn a Woking Council decision to possibly allow the building of over 500 houses and travellers sites next door to our Estate and within 30 hours all the money had been collected , not bad really with still a few laggards not paying or away from home etc. however the magic figure of £12K seems to have been reached.
The weather today was mixed and for about an hour this morning we sat on the balcony in the sun enjoying the fresh air except for when the diesel fork lift loading stuff in the hold down below us passed us by.
As I am writing this we are pulling in to the Port of Sandnessjoen which is quite small but the main town on this area of the coast. As usual u can leave the ship for some tours including watching salmon swim, a bit like watching my KOI in Weybridge
