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…

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…

A Whale of a Time

Posted on November 18, 2014April 6, 2022 by bollingerbabe

We were awoken this morning by the sound of the captain’s voice coming over the tannoy, saying he was going to deviate slightly from his planned route, because there were reports of lots of migrating whales, who were in search of the herring shoals. Therefore, after getting ready and having breakfast, we wrapped up warmly…

Scenic Cruising

Posted on November 12, 2014April 14, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Today we had a leisurely day at sea to look forward to. As we head further north, the weather is getting windier and colder, and the dark nights longer. After breakfast we wrapped up well and went out on deck to have a brisk walk in the crisp air. We did 10 laps which is…
