Up and checked out a bit later this am.  Off to hop on hop off bus. First one full. There are 5 or so cruise ships in Port so we reckon they are the problem.    View from my room this am. Lake at the city centre Me with Fishmarket These two practicing selfies while waiting for the bus. Main st view The old buildings of Bryggen. Sorry a bit obsessed with them. The Hanseatic Museum which I checked out later in the day. An old market we think. The facade looks like a wedding cake. A fter hop on hop off we each went our separate ways with about 5 hours to spend looking around. Basically we all looked at St John’s Church up the top of town, then checked out different things. Variously shopped, had coffee, did Museums and met back at hotel 4 and half hours later.  Following are my pics from the wander.  Old and variously coloured buildings. Also lots of hills I was fascinated by the shapes and colours of skyline. More church steeples ...

22.9.18 - Day 23. Odense to Copenhagen

Up and at em this morning, to make our way back to the train station to return to Copenhagen. Unfortunately, I buggered up, and convinced the other two, that the train in front of us, wasn't the right one...turned out it was, so we had to wait another hour or so...major oops!! Tracy and Suzie were very kind and didn't yell or scream. We dropped our luggage at our last hotel, and grabbed a cab for the Changing of the guard at the Royal Palace (the home of Mary and Frederik and family). We actually got caught BEHIND the guards, marching to the Castle. Our cabbie was brilliant and got us down a side street in time to see the action. Here we are waiting for the train, not sure if it's the first one or second one!     Into the cab and got a behind the scenes view of Guards marching to the Palace. They were making a getaway and we were worried we'd miss the changing of the guards. But...we made it, I snuck around the crowd, and was lucky to get a fron...

6.9.18 Day 7 - Hurtigruten- Yurke and Ålesund

Sailing overnight on our Hurtigruten ship, the MS Nordkapp.  As I said our room is quite amazing - not tiny at all.  Forgot to take a pic BEFORE we moved in. Tracy on the right, me on the left. Tom, one of the staff who does our room and serves us dinner, made my bed and put it back to our couch.   Whilst sleeping, with a slight rock n roll we actually made very short 15minute stops at Florø and Måløy. The ship is a working ship, it is a ferry with capacity for 24 cars and also for freight. I did hear the ropes going out at Måløy, but otherwise slept soundly.  I got up had my shower and went out on a cold and windy deck to watch us dock at Torvik. We were due at 7.15 but we are running a bit behind schedule, something to do with the conditions sailing overnight.  Sunrise on the Fjiord. Sun rising 7.00 in the morning.  There are people getting on and off at the stops and just under 600 passengers on board. The crew also have loaded/unloaded freight at our sh...
