The Shows so far
We have had three shows so far and they have all been pretty good, the best being the Headliners show 'True Brit' with songs from British Musicals which was right up our street. This cruise is also hosting a music festival with serious music hosted by John Brunning from Classic FM. Our second show was a gala show of classical music and opera which we found enjoyable but not really our scene. The Headliners second show featured swing which was good but not as sharp as the first.
Thursday's Port – Olden
or Glaciers and Waterfalls
We left Stavanger at 5pm and sailed up the coast of Norway with land in sight all the time till we went to bed ! Sunset at 22.41 this evening. Sunrise was at 3 53am, or just when we entered Nordfjord. We waited 'till 6am to get up and see the views which were dramatic with snow topped hills surrounding the
fjord. Weather a bit grim with rain all day and mist around the hills. Set off up the valley by coach - then the longish walk to the Briksdal Glacier up the river valley carved by melting ice - with stunning waterfalls. Despite the rain we had
super views of both glacier and waterfalls. – the mist set in as we walked back down the path for tea, coffee and cakes at the Briksdal Inn which was excellent and back to ship for a late lunch. It reminded us of Wales in the rain and we can't wait to go there later this summer. Then a short walk into the town of Olden with its quaint old wooden church (yes Pat we loved it).
