Back to Reality!
This morning I flew from EDI back to JFK and have quite a layover before I arrive back in Denver tonight. I am so grateful I had this experience and I hope I have the chance to come back to Scotland in the future!
Days 4 and 5: At Sea and Alesund
Day 4 was a quiet and restful day at sea. Karen and I explored all of the on board activities, from learning the Cha-cha-cha (we are both wildly uncoordinated) to trivia to live games like Deal or No Deal and the Price is Right. We had a great time meeting new friends, enjoying the food, and resting up before our next day in port! On day 5 we arrived in Alesund Norway to gray clouds and rainy weather. Despite the gloomy greeting, I was very excited to take in the fjords and for our fjord cruise excursion! We were very lucky that the rained stopped and were able to get out on deck for pictures. The mountains and waterfalls were beautiful! I learned from our guide that bears were hunted to extinction here, but there are still wolves and the most common fish is cod! We will leave the port later this evening and head to Flam, Norway!
