Day 37 - Friday, July 18, 2024 - Our last day in Bergen Norway

By Ellen Outten

 


Wayne and I took advantage of the included tour to hitch a ride to the pier this morning.  We had already done this exact tour back in June, so we had another chance to get out and walk around where we wanted. The weather today was really nice and warm enough for short sleeves!



Wayne and I visited the indoor fish market.  He hadn't been in it.  I had, two days ago. 
But walking around looking at the fresh fish for sale is always of interest to me.
We wandered, stopped and had a cup of coffee and did some serious people watching. 

This had to be a 5 lb lobster at a minimum ( dead) 

Alive 😀

Some healthy king crab legs

Caviar, anyone?  Sorry,not bringing any home

I love looking at pastry. This apple tart is no exception.

That's dried cod hanging from in high

Wayne was able to catch our tour bus back to the ship and I continued shopping and looking before I headed back to the ship. 

Pictures as I headed back to the ship

These stairs were in the old Bryggen buildings.  They were more cockeyed than the picture makes it out

All in all, a quiet, relaxing day.

Tomorrow, we dock in Eidfjord and hope the weather is as warm as predicted and sunny so the fjord and the waterfalls will be spectacular.  Here's hoping.

Day. 25 - Thursday, May 22, 2025 - Amsterdam to Phoenix

By Ellen Outten
 The day started at 7:30 with a ride from the hotel to the airport. NOTE to myself:  always order.rhe taxi for 1/2 hour earlier than you need it.. it showed up at about 7:35 am and traffic was heavy on the way to Schipol airport.  We had plenty of time, but regardless, it's better to be there early. The flight boarded a little late, but there's so many checks for international gates.  Immigration to leave the country, security for baggage.  We made it to the gate about an hour in advance.   I flew first class home.  There's nothing like it.  The seats are sooo much better.  And if my flight had been an evening flight, I know I would have slept.  God bless lay down seats.  I paid for the first class upgrade and what happens, Wayne gets an upgrade at the airport for free.  He didn't even know he had been upgraded until we were at the gate We arrived 25 minutes late but still had two hours to get to our new gate.  It too...

Parliament building, the third largest building in the world. Today, with perfect weather (high temp was about 77 degrees with a light breeze and all sun), we left the hotel at 9:00 a.m. on a tour of Bucharest. Our first stop was in the parking lot across the street from the third largest building in the world. This is their Parliament building. The first largest is the Pentagon and the second building is in Thailand. While we didn't go inside it was interesting to stand across the street and see the immenseness of this building. Interesting streetlight and the iron work Across the street from the Parliament is a pretty street with 44 water fountains running down the middle of the street. From there we went to the "Dimitrie Gusti" National Village Museum.  The outdoor museum is  devoted to Romanian village life, with hundreds of peasant farms & homes. The fence is so intricately woven  Typical entrance to a farmhouse.  The opening on the left is for people, the o...

Day 2 - Tuesday July 18 - Lake Lucerne

   Our hotel for the next two nights. We arrived at the Zurich airport at 7:45 am Tuesday which meant 10:45pm Monday in Mesa AZ.  We had been traveling since 7am. We were fed very well on the plane (9 hour flight from Chicago), both with a dinner 2 hours of boarding and then about 2 hours before landing, we were served breakfast.  The flight was uneventful which is a lovely word when it comes to air travel.  Odyssey Tours sent a driver to pick us up and drive us the one hour to Lake Lucerne.   We met a very nice couple, Patty and Joe from Kentucky that were on the same flight.   We walked around the property, which sits right on the lake, and since it was only about 9:30 am, we had to wait for our rooms.  So, what else is there to do?  Out of whack on time zones, we had a few local beers.  After all it was still 2 am AZ time!                        Snow on the mountain...
