We had a busy day today.
I was up a 6 AM watching our sail-in past many small islands before arriving at our last Norwegian port of call.
This small city didnt have much to see and do as far as I initially thought but I was wrong.
Our only plan was to visit the Viking museum on a nearby island at our convenience (not a cruise tour),
A very good dixie land band serenaded us from dock side and I took the time to record a few minutes of music.
Dad and I caught the municipal bus to the Viking museum.The walk from the bus stop to the museum was about a kilometre which I hadn't expected.Dad made it fine so that was good. The museum itself was good but unbeknownst to us at the time we missed some of it due to us wanting to get out of the rain. As it turned out we were travelling with Anne and Greg from Colorado (we don't plan to be together all the time but it just turns out that way!). Because of the potential long walk back to the bus and the fact it was raining we got a cab. With four of us paying
it wasn't horribly expensive.
We left Dad at the shuttle bus pick up point in the city centre and the three of us walked to the Dokken Museum. It is a similar type museum as the Fort Museum except with houses and buildings were used for the herring fishery. We had a super guide who obviously loved his work and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there.
As I write this we have left port and are slamming through North Sea waves of about 10 feet high. Could be a lousy night for sleeping!
