    Oh my. Beautiful is too weak a word to describe the country there.
    Just gorgeous. Where did your tour start and what route did you follow?
    Seems like you've captured enough memories for a lifetime.

    WOW, is all I can say. Looks like you had a lot of fun. Welcome home, and I, for one, wouldn't mind seeing MORE pictures.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Gorgeous pictures, thanks so much for sharing them with us! Some day maybe I will get to see Sweden, (great grandparents came from there) and a stop to see the fjords would be part of the trip, of course! Any fan of Hitchhiker's Guide MUST see the fjords at some point, right?

    Great pictures!

    I thought your cabin looked very familiar, then I saw the name of the ship, Holland American Westerdam. My seven day cruise to Alaska in May was on the Holland America Oosterdam. Having the veranda was nice, wasn't it?

    I took advantage of the computer classes, did you?

    We boarded in Rotterdam, which is only a 90 minutes drive from home!
    The following ports were:
    -Bergen
    -Hellesylt & Geiranger: here we left the ship at Hellesylt, and travelled with a coach to the end of the fjord in Geiranger; Fantastic scenic drive!! This is when we saw our boat deep down in the fjord!
    -Trondheim
    -Hönigsvag: this is the northernmost city , from here you can go to the Northcape : this is 71°N
    -Tromsö
    -Alesund
    -Stavanger
    -Rotterdam

    We crossed the Artic circle twice: this was in betweenTrondheim and Hönigsvag, and Hönigsvag and Tromsö.

    Wow, that is our next big dream!!! We think to do this next year in August!! We are not sure yet, as we have to travel to Seattle first, which is already a very long flight for me............
    Please tell me more details about your cruise, like what ports did you visit, etc... .
    Yes, the verandah was VERY nice!!! Last time we had a cabin on the lower promenade of the Rotterdam, so this veranda was so super!!! We have been on our verandah quite a lot!!
    I didn't take the computerclasses, as we went on an excursion in every port !
    I miss you enormously Sydney, Maya, Inka & Zazou Be happy there at the Rainbow Bridge
