Really nice group on this cruise, I knew everyone except for the children of our clients and a couple from Hawaii. So happy to see everyone.

We had a group lunch on the first day that was a sea day in Pacific Rim and drew the preliminary winners for the pre-cruise. Have my sister June onboard so she helped me with the drawing.

First port was Geiranger.
We had a later departure and waitlisted for an early time. However, the waitlist did not clear Not a good day a bit overcast so we stayed onboard. It cleared up in the afternoon and it was quite lovely. Ken went ashore as he needed a strong internet to send something and purchased a tee shirt. It actually fit me better than him so I was the recipient of a Norwegian tee shirt.

Second port was Alesund
Love this port always delightful and we had a stunning day. Sun, no wind and about 60 degrees. We visited the Sunnmore Outdoor Museum. This was really quite fascinating, old original buildings with turf roofs on a hillside with massive trees and lots of vegetation. We were free to wander on our own and had a delightful time. They also have a large number of original boats and one Norwegian Long Boat. This was followed by a tour of the town that ended up at the famous lookout point that is a fantastic view of the town. The picture you always see on postcards of Alesund.

So we are off to a good start pictures will follow.
