Good morning again from Norway. As we pull into yet another tiny port, for a brief 15 minutes, I am again struck by what a difference the coastal steamers (now liners) made in the lives of isolated communities before the roads came in. We got up this morning and debated just shuffling up to the dining room for breakfast in our jammies. Didnt of course :-) During breakfast sailed past the globe monument which marks the Arctic Circle, then went out on the deck for the ceremony marking our return - a spoonful of cod liver oil - and then we got our spoon as a souvenir - it is quite lovely stainless shaped like a fish (sort of) - on the handle it says Hurtigruten: Finding the Light, and on the bowl of the spoon says I did the Arctic. Not much going on today - later one we dock again in Trondheim - and we are going to the bridge while the others are off the ship. It will be interesting to see the bridge of this smaller ship. So, off for the day - more catch-up later.
