We had a storm behind us all the way. I was the greenest passenger in the morning. The crew were helpful and even kept the dining room open in Honningsvag as so many passengers hadn’t been up to eating their breakfasts. Standing on the deck at Hammerfest during the night was a highlight. Even the stormy seas were a unique experience. As a solo autumnal aged traveller from Queensland, Australia, it was a wonderful experience. I spent three weeks in Norway: Oslo, Stavanger, Bergen, Flam, Lillehammer, Trondheim, Bodø, Tromso, Honningsvag (bus to Nordkap) and Karasjok. Now I encourage people of all age groups to go to Norway. I give them budget tips to counteract the perception of Norway as an expensive country. I even envy you feeling cold temperatures as I currently swelter in our extended summer heatwave. Enjoy!

Both trips for whale watching and the Northern lights. Desperately want to take the hurtigruten round trip, hopefully within the next couple of years. Thank you for your daily blog. Really enjoying it.
