 When I awoke around 6:30, we were already well into the Nordfjorden fjord and its branches, getting quite close to Olden. By 7:15, we were preparing to dock (1:58) alongside this quaint little town nestled deep in the fjord surrounded by mountains. |
|
 Like every morning, this morning we had breakfast in the Fresh Market Place buffet. Olden's main point of interest was the Briksdal glacier, and we had been there during our 2019 Norway, Iceland & UK cruise, so we didn't have any shore excursion planned for today. Olden wasn't big, and there wasn't a whole lot to see, so we were just going to go ashore and improvise. |

 Back on the ship, it was time for lunch, and once again I opted for the Salty Dog Grill, this time having a hot dog with sauerkraut. And, just like the hamburger from there I had earlier, it was pretty good. And it kept me away from eating too much junky stuff from the buffet line. |
|
 After lunch, we walked around the ship for a while, then headed for the stern to wait for the ship to set sail. We got someone to take a picture of all of us (before it got too cold), then finally, at 4:00, off we went, heading back out the Nordfjorden fjord to sea, saying goodbye to Olden (0:31) and its beautiful mountain setting. |
|
 I didn't take a lot of pictures as we sailed through the fjord back out to sea. (Most of the journey occurred at night while we were asleep.) Here's a waterfall (0:19) we passed, perhaps the most dramatic sight we saw before going to bed later. |
|
 By 7:30, we were in the Princess Theater to see David Nathan, a magician. He did several tricks with the assistance of an audience member or two, but most of his tricks were pretty transparent, easily figured out, making the show not too exciting. |
|
 After the show, since we hadn't had any dinner yet, we went up to the buffet for something to eat. I had this, including a bowl of something trying to be French onion soup, along with a Caesar salad and some kind of meat thing. This was the last picture I took today. Tomorrow we'd be waking up in Trondheim. Next Top |
