This morning we docked in Kristiansand again. The beautiful weather is still with us - temperatures in the mid 20s Celsius. We heard that Norway is the warmest country in Europe right now. Also, it is in the high 20s in Spitzbergen, north of the Arctic Circle! Now the worry is, did we bring enough summer clothes?
Our tour today took us to the small village of Lillesand, another picturesque harbour town. Our guide was the same one we had for our walking tour of Kristiansand so had heard most of the information and stories earlier. We boarded a boat in the port of Marvika for a scenic ride past skerries (small islands) including one which the Crown Prince and his family vacation on. I'm afraid that my teacher instincts took over as I had to tell one teenager to hush while the guide was speaking and tell an older gentleman that every time he stood up in the boat to take a picture, we couldn't see anything. We had the feeling that if we hadn't said anything he would have thought nothing of blocking our view for the entire trip. I noticed that he was the only one to demonstrate such poor manners. It is a wonder how inconsiderate some people can be.
We returned to the ship for a very good lunch, and now have time for a nap. Tonight is the one formal night, so we plan to get all dolled up, go to the meet and greet, and meet Anne for dinner at the restaurant.
