Care To Come With Me On Our Norwegian Cruise?

Norway is a beautiful country, and a wonderful way to see it is by cruising along the fjords. A couple of years ago my husband and I, together with our son and his wife, did just that. I've used several of the photos on my posts here, and some of you have been interested so I thought I'd do a post about it, complete with a slideshow. We boarded the ship in England, thus saving all the airport hassle - that was a bonus to start with. The trip was for 10 days, and the first and last days were spent at sea. In between we visited a different Norwegian port each day, and we found the people to be delightful and friendly. Everything seemed so neat and clean, though things were very expensive. For instance, a beer cost the equivalent of about £9 ($12 US). One day we were sitting outside a cafe, and my son was not amused when a seagull dropped it's load into his freshly purchased beer! Food was similarly expensive, but fortunately we didn't need to buy any as we were so well fed on the ship. One of the things we learned on this trip was that the Vikings never had horns on their helmets - that's pure Hollywood! We also learned that they can have beautiful weather that far North - apparently it was the best weather they'd had for years - how lucky were we If you ever get the chance to take a cruise like this I would thoroughly recommend it - we all had a wonderful time. All the photos in the slideshow were taken by me, as is the one on the post.
