Lobster Tails and Cocktails

Posted on June 17, 2016April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

The slightly-increased motion of the Balmoral on the waves this morning showed that we were in the open sea once again; we could tell we were on our way home because of the grey skies and threatening rain. Nonetheless, we had a full day at sea to look forward to today as well as one more…

Looking Down on Creation

Posted on June 16, 2016April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Light filtered its way in between our cabin curtains at 03.46 this morning, the dawn light pale and clear.  We were due to arrive in Skjolden at around 07.30am. Skjolden lies at the head of the Sognefjord, the longest navigable fjord in Norway.  It’s a small but idyllic village with a marina, a restaurant, a…

Trolls and Glaciers

Posted on June 15, 2016April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

When we woke up this morning, once again to a glorious day, we were just about to dock in Olden.  This was another new port to us and we looked forward to seeing what it had to offer. As ever, the scenery was spectacular; towering snow-capped peaks, waterfalls and the beautiful clear water of the…

Mountains and Waterfalls

Posted on June 14, 2016April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Today we were scheduled to visit two ports of call and we woke up to the first of these, Geiranger, at 8.00am, looking out of our window once more to sunshine and a cloudless sky.  We have been to Geirangerfjord twice before, but it so breathtakingly beautiful that no-one could possibly tire of it. Geirangerfjord…

Beautiful Bergen

Posted on June 13, 2016April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

This morning we were up at 8.30am and we looked out of our cabin window to clear blue skies and sunshine.  We found we were berthed in Bergen, and we were looking forward to revisiting this lovely town; we have been several times before and the last time was in 2008 on the Boudicca. Bergen was…

Heading North

Posted on June 12, 2016April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

After sleeping soundly we woke up and were shocked to see it was nearly 9.20am, much later than we usually get up.  A quick look out of the window showed us the sea was quite calm and the skies looked as if they were brightening up a bit. We dressed quickly and made our way…

Newcastle to Norway

Posted on June 11, 2016April 2, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Today we were setting off on another cruise, but there was no getting up at the crack of dawn because we were sailing out of Newcastle, and the Port of Tyne is only about half an hour’s drive from us.  So we were able to spend the morning at our leisure, not having to leave…
