I am enjoying the second leg of our journey. We left Oslo at 4:00 p.m. The hills rising from the Oslo Fjord were dotted with wooden houses some centuries old and very tiny. After a lovely dinner in our suite, we were treated to a full moon rising. The next morning I arose at 5:00 a.m. to see an island with very unusual cloud formations. I double checked to make sure that was what I was actually seeing. It was saying "Welcome to my Mythical Kingdom" a la The Lord of the Rings. I felt I had been transported to another dimension. As I was questioning my sanity the whole image dissipated into thin air and I returned to reality.
We are now on the western side of Norway at 70 degrees latitude with brisk winds heading towards Cap Nord. There are definitely no signs of Norway's gnomes and trolls. We're both excited to be this far north. Soon we'll be experiencing sightseeing at midnight.
