After waking up this morning, I still didn’t know what time it was supposed to be. If I didn’t have my phone as an alarm clock, we would have trouble being on time. Getting back from the midnight concert at 1:30 am didn’t help either. Thankfully, the waters were the smoothest the ship had ever […]
Alpha: Leaving the midnight concert, with my useless camera ? yup. Alpha made me push the elderlies to the side and cut in line so we could be the first inside the church. We even took front row seats and were discussing where to position the camera… Well, that was fruitless, the lady announced no […]
They weren’t kidding about it being a midnight concert. We woke up at 11:45 pm to get up and leave the ship for the tour. It was actually dark outside for once. Even though we took a little nap, we were still tired… Tromsø looked like a bigger town than the others we had stopped […]
We sat down for our second dinner aboard the Richard With. There’s always a different type of bread with butter to start off the 3-course meal. The menu say’s Day 8, but its actually Day 2 for us. This is likely because the menus are numbered for a full roundtrip and we are actually taking […]
The ship was still running behind a little bit. That meant our time in some of the ports was shorter than expected. Our next stop, Skjervøy, was supposed to be 30 minutes, but in our case it would only be “touch and go”. The dock is really just a freight dock. You can see that […]
Lunch aboard the ship after our tour this morning. To see what we ate for lunch, check out our previous lunch post. It’s pretty much the same but there are some more detailed pictures. The Cold Meats stations has its assortment of smoked, grilled, picked, whatever you can do to a meat, and cut up. […]
The North Cape was fun, but it was a long bus ride. Because Hurtigruten is like a bus, it has to stick to a certain schedule. That usually means that excursions happen between stops. The tour will pick you up at one port, and drive to the next port to meet up again with the ship. […]
This morning we are getting out at the Honningsvåg port to take part in the North Cape Tour. After breakfast we headed down to Deck 4 so that we can get to our tour bus. There aren’t many people onboard the ship. So, its not very difficult to line up to get off the ship. […]
Couldn’t sleep anymore, can’t even tell what time it is or it’s supposed to be. The constant light out messes with our circadian rhythms. The rocking was really bad last night and it wasn’t just rocking sideways, it was rocking in all directions. Beta barely slept and when she did, she had a bad dream ? Couldn’t […]
Our first dinner with Hurtigruten. We’re on for the 2nd seating at 8:10 pm. Now we can find out, does reindeer taste like Christmas? Barely any greens on our plate… Is this Rudolph, or Sven from Frozen? Dinner was very interesting. We had a salad with some sort of white grain, which I liked a […]
