Oslo, on our own

One last breakfast and a wistful farewell to the crew and restaurant staff was the order of the morning. As we were finishing breakfast and the ship pulled alongside the quay in Oslo in the dim mornin...

Kristiansand, our last day with Hurtigruten

As we woke this morning, still somewhat buzzing from the excitement of the aurora last night, the realisation that our home for the past 11 days was soon to come to an end as we are due to arrive in O...

After a really fun New Years Eve celebration (see blog from yesterday), a slightly later breakfast at 8:30am was consumed and a plan for the day ahead emerged. We were not due to dock in Haugesund unt...

Alesund

After more bumpy oceans in the night (with the window shade down to minimise the disconcerting wave action on our porthole some 5-6m above water line) we arrived in the Art Nouveau town of Alesund. Lo...

Bronnoysund

A rough night with big seas! I have discovered that I don't get seasick with puking, but I do get the stress sweats...oh well...such is life. Today we had a short time to explore the Bronnoysund area...

Well, what a final day in the Arctic it turned out to be, with our last full day where the sun will not peek above the horizon! Our first docking port was in the town of Stokmarknes where we promptly...

Tromso

A bit of a bumpy night overnight with some open sea stretches but the morning was calm as we approached Tromso, the Artic Capital. At a latitude of 69 degrees north, we're still not expecting any dire...

We arrived at our rescheduled stop of Hammerfest (to avoid the dangers of the big weather system in the area) but were certainly not disappointed. After yet another sensational meal to start the day,...

We awoke to some big bumps in the ocean with the swell from an approaching large storm system during a stretch on the open seas (much of our trip has been in sheltered, less bumpy fjords) between abou...

Well, Merry Christmas or "Gud Yul" as it is here in Norway. A few bumps in the ocean and high winds greeted Christmas, but more significantly was that during the night, we crossed the Arctic circle......

So, after a memorable buffet breakfast at the Admiral Hotel (and I mean life-changing good), including delights such as salmon gravalax, smoked salmon, remoulade (white fish), omlette (ham and cheese)...

Sydney to Bergen

After a great trip into Sydney, we got on board the A380 bound for Dubai at 9:10pm. 14 hours later we touched down. Great service on Emirates. Shame about the toddler across the aisle who seemed not t...
