Cruise Day 11
Trondheim – Kristiansund – Molde – Ålesund.
We only had 1 long stop today in Trondheim. We had an early breakfast and then went for a walk through an area we missed last time. There was hardly any snow, but it was still quite cold. Some of the modern architecture in Norway is really not very attractive.
We walked past a statue of a viking, who definitely did not look fierce, more wistful, like David looking into the bicycle shop that only opened at 10.
I spent the afternoon packing. Lucky I had bought an extra suitcase. Lots of spoils to take home, mostly for Sophia and her as yet unborn sister. The Norwegian knits, such as mittens and beanies for kids are awesome.
We crossed the open sea to Molde. It was a bit rough, but nothing like the start of the journey. Maybe we were just seasoned sailors by then. We made a good effort to finish our reserve wine and it was a very pleasant evening.
What I learnt (subsequently)
Life became a bit hectic on our flight home as described in next blog and then with plans for my son’s wedding, so blogs were not posted. This coincided with people being rescued off a cruise ship along the Norwegian coast. My apologies to Estella and anyone who had a panic moment about which ship we were on.
