Yesterday we were at Stavanger. It was a bit cooler only reaching 18 degrees and a bit breezy. The ship is very stable with very little movement. We berth in a fiord right in the town. We have a cruise up one of the fiords to Pulpit rock. The boat is a large twin hulled vessel and it is quite modern. Comfortable seats and spacious interior with plenty of room up on top. While waiting in line we encounter queue police. An American woman who will not let anyone jump the queue. Her husband is an inspector gadget. He is wearing a fishing type vest and has dangling from it a torch, hand cleaner, rubber bands and other items!
The cruise up the fiord to Pulpit rock was fantastic - great scenery. It was a great day. After dinner the Johnstones and the Hoy’s went to the show- a Tina Turner tribute singer. We lasted 3 songs, she was not only crap but annoying. I forgot to mention on the sea day we attended an interview with Pete Best, the fifth beatle, he was fantastic.
Today we berth at Flaam, the scenery is even better than Stavanger. We are deep in the fiord and right beside the town with soaring rock faces on both sides. It is very picturesque. The sun is shining and the weather mild, hardly any wind. We head off on our train ride to MYRDAL. It is a great train ride as we head upwards, passing through tunnels and valleys. Incredible scenery and many waterfalls including one where we stop for 5 mins to take photos, an amazing sight. Back on board we have hamburgers for lunch. Our sail away is 4.30 and should be spectacular. Have plenty of photos to upload when the internet is more reliable. Luggy keeps saying he needs to stop eating as much, but that is all he does, he still keeps eating. The food is really good.
Still talking to each other and having a great time.
