The nearest I’d ever got to a cruise before was watching Love Boat many years ago. That programme and things I’d heard from others made me think cruises weren’t for me. Evening dress and ballroom dancing simply aren’t my style.
But this wasn’t like that at all. The ship was small, the crew and fellow guests very pleasant and we’d have looked out of place in evening dress.
Without the hassle of packing and unpacking, or not unpacking and having to search for items in a suitcase, we travelled all along the coast of Norway, stopping several times each day for some great views, short hikes and other activities.
Before you ask, no, we didn’t see the Northern Lights. You can only see them when it’s dark and clear, and it never really got dark in the far north.
We had wonderful weather the whole time, except one evening when it snowed on us.
There was a little rain in Bergen on our last day, but nothing like the downpour that (surprisingly) greeted us on our return to Israel.
I was sorry when the cruise came to an end, as all good things do. Now I have a long list of tasks to catch up on, one of which is preparing for my launch day and online party on 17 June. Do join it if you’re free any time that day. The link is: https://www.facebook.com/events/733704203318444/?source=1.

Looks like a great journey to be had. Always fun to travel across plains in new ways. I would really appreciate it if you could check out my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/kbeezyisviral
Cruises are such fun. I’ve only been on one but I hope to go on another one soon. I’m glad you had a great time 🙂
Yes, I thought they could become boring, but this one wasn’t.
I always wondered if I would like a cruise… Your kind I would probably like!
I’m sure you would.
